Common football injuries we treat

A return-to-play approach

Treating the painful area is only the start. We assess how you move, load and balance across the whole body, then build a staged plan — relieve pain, restore strength and control, and rebuild the speed, cutting and power football demands. You leave each phase knowing exactly what to do next.

Experience with athletes

Founder Hide Kuwabara has supported athletes and professional footballers, combining Western physiotherapy with a whole-body assessment to find the cause of recurring injury — not just the symptom. The focus is fast relief, root-cause treatment, and long-term injury prevention. Explore functional training for athletes or read more about Hide.

Frequently asked questions

How soon after a football injury should I see a physiotherapist?

As early as possible. Early assessment helps protect the area, speed recovery and lower the risk of the injury becoming chronic. No GP referral is needed in the Netherlands.

Do you help with return to play, not just pain relief?

Yes. Rehabilitation is staged through to full-speed running, cutting and power, so you return to football with confidence and lower re-injury risk.

Are sessions available in English?

Yes. Every session is available in English, and also in Dutch and Japanese.

Where is the clinic located?

Amsterdam Zuid, at Arent Janszoon Ernststraat 665A, 1082 LG Amsterdam, easy to reach from across Amsterdam and Amstelveen.
