About Beweegkracht

A practice with eight physiotherapists, each with their own specialism. And one fixed approach: find the cause, measure, exercise.

Why we measure

Beweegkracht started in 2004 with two therapists in one room above the chemist. Now eight physiotherapists work in our own building on Voorbeeldstraat, each with a different specialism. What stayed the same: we look for the cause, we measure what we do and you always go home with exercises.

Tirza and Gerben trained at a time when, after six treatments, you would “see how things were going”. They wanted to do it differently: measure right at intake, agree a goal you can track and admit halfway if something isn’t working. That is why the goniometer on the table also became our logo.
