Karlijn has been working as a physiotherapist since August 2019. What appeals to her most in this profession is the personal contact and the focus on the individual behind the complaint. Every body tells its own story, and Karlijn sees treating physical issues as the careful unraveling of that story – like solving a puzzle in which both physical and mental aspects may play a role.
She supports clients with a wide range of complaints, such as orthopedic issues, sports injuries, chronic pain, and other (complex) physical conditions. Together with the client, she creates a treatment plan that fits not only the body but also the person as a whole. In close collaboration with her colleagues, she always ensures a personalized approach.
Over the years, Karlijn increasingly noticed how physical complaints can be influenced by mental and emotional factors, such as stress, tension, or significant life events. These insights, gained through her daily practice, have deepened her interest in the broader connection between body and mind. As a result, she has gradually focused more on psychosomatic treatment within physiotherapy – an approach that centers not only on the body but on the whole person.
In this method, Karlijn combines physical treatment techniques with breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and more. Together with the client, she explores which underlying factors might contribute to the development or persistence of the complaints. If desired, they work on these aspects in a focused way, within a safe and open setting that provides space for recovery as well as personal growth.
