Acupuncture
in Amsterdam
Western and Eastern approaches, thoughtfully integrated to support pain relief, movement, and deeper recovery.
Who this is for
This may be relevant if:
- Chronic stress or tension
- Poor sleep or fatigue
- Digestive or hormonal complaints
- Recovery from illness or burnout
- Pain that isn’t responding to manual therapy
About this approach
Pain is rarely isolated.
Movement, load, and recovery are connected.
This approach focuses on how the body works as a whole.
Conditions
What we treat
Acupuncture works on the body’s regulation systems — addressing not just symptoms, but the underlying imbalances that sustain them.
Your first session
What to expect
01
Health intake
Full review of symptoms, sleep, digestion, stress, and wellbeing.
02
Diagnosis
Pulse and abdominal palpation to understand your constitution.
03
Needle placement
Fine Japanese needles placed with care — typically no discomfort.
04
Rest & integration
20–30 minutes of quiet rest while the treatment takes effect.
05
Post-treatment guidance
What to notice in the coming days and how to support the effect.
Eastern & Western, integrated
In some cases, recovery is influenced not only by movement, but also by tension and nervous system regulation. Acupuncture is available when needed — as a complement to physiotherapy, or as a standalone path.

I had been struggling with persistent heaviness and pain around my ankle for a long time. Instead of just focusing on the painful area, the treatment took a whole-body approach, addressing balance and connections throughout my body. Not only did I experience immediate relief, but I was also given clear guidance on exercises to manage any future pain. This has greatly helped improve my chronic discomfort.

Hide kijkt op een andere manier als normale fysiotherapeuten. Hij zoekt naar de oorzaak van je klacht in plaats van alleen de symptomen te behandelen. Ik ben super tevreden en zou Hide zeker aanbevelen!

Na maanden van rugpijn en een armblessure door Padel, bezocht ik Hide’s praktijk. De professionele, vriendelijke sfeer viel direct op.
Hide analyseerde mijn klachten grondig en stelde een op maat gemaakte behandeling voor, wat meteen vertrouwen gaf. Na enkele sessies was de pijn volledig verdwenen.
Dankzij Hide kan ik nu weer zonder beperkingen van mijn sport genieten. Ik beveel hem en zijn praktijk van harte aan voor iedereen die een deskundige fysiotherapeut zoekt.
