Robert Kuizenga

Robert Kuizenga graduated as a general physiotherapist from the Thim van der Laan Academy in 2007. He then completed his master's degree in manual therapy at SOMT University. Subsequently, Robert obtained his master's degree in manual therapy from the Free University of Brussels. In addition to these specializations, he has also delved into dry needling, ultrasound, and occupational physiotherapy. Furthermore, he received certification as a Craniofacial therapist from the Cranio Facial Therapy Academy (CRAFTA®). This highly specialized training focuses on manual therapy for the treatment of pain and disorders in the head, neck, jaw, and neck areas (TMD/Temporomandibular dysfunctions). In addition to his expertise as a physio/manual therapist and craniofacial therapist, Robert also has a professional background as a classical singer (www.robertkuizenga.com). This experience has contributed to his development in the field of body posture, issues in the neck, head, jaw, and throat areas, as well as vocal problems.

 

During his work as a physio/manual therapist and craniofacial therapist, Robert discovered that complaints often reoccurred after a period of improvement. As an osteopath, he is able to address multiple facets and usually treat the core of the problem. Therefore, Robert pursued osteopathic training at the International Academy of Osteopathy. As a teacher of osteopathy at Thim College of Osteopathy, Robert imparts his enthusiasm for the discipline to his students.

​

The strength of osteopathy lies in its holistic approach, addressing multiple systems. With longer treatment sessions lasting up to 45 minutes, it is possible to effectively address the root cause of the complaint. For example, poor lifestyle choices can lead to overstimulation of the liver, which in turn places the body in a rotation pattern and contributes to persistent shoulder problems. To tackle the core issue, an osteopath focuses not only on treating joint mobility and fascia around the shoulder but also on the mobility of the liver's connective tissue and related structures (e.g., the diaphragm). Additionally, advice will be given on nutrition and lifestyle to provide a comprehensive approach.
