Should you rest a sore back?
A day of taking it easy is fine. A week on the sofa usually makes it worse. Here is what to do instead.
Physiotherapy on the Dijle in Mechelen, for backs, knees, shoulders and everyday life.
Physiotherapy in Mechelen
A back that wakes you at night, a knee that stops you running, a shoulder that has not been right since the fall. We listen first, explain what is going on in plain language, and work with you until you can get on with your day.
One practice, one clear list. You see what a visit costs before you book it, and you get your attest for the health fund at the end of each session.
A full hour: we talk through your complaint, examine how you move and agree on a plan together.
Thirty minutes of treatment and exercise, one to one, with the same therapist each time.
Forty-five minutes with Amina, in a private room, for pelvic pain, continence problems or recovery after giving birth.
Sixty minutes on the treadmill and off it with Jonas, for a recurring injury or a return after time away.
A thirty-minute session at your home in Mechelen, for when getting to the practice is not possible.
Most people arrive a little unsure of what to expect. There is nothing to prepare, and nothing will happen that you have not agreed to.
Twenty minutes or so about what hurts, when it started and what you would like to be able to do again. Bring a prescription or scans if you have them.
We watch how you move and test what is strong and what is sore. Comfortable clothes are all you need, and you can say stop at any point.
You leave knowing what we think is going on, how many sessions it is likely to take, and one or two things you can already do at home.

Most aches fade if you cut back for a week. A simple traffic-light rule helps you tell which ones will not.
Tell us briefly what is going on and we will find you a time with the right therapist, usually within the week. No referral is needed to make an appointment.
