From the station

South across the Zuidas, then one street further.

A walking route from Amsterdam Zuid station is 1.1 km and takes about 15 minutes. It runs south across Gustav Mahlerplein, along George Gershwinlaan, across De Boelelaan, then onto Willem van Weldammelaan and Arent Janszoon Ernststraat. The same streets are about 6 minutes by bike. For this distance, walking or cycling is usually quicker than waiting for a tram.

Train and metro 50, 51 and 52 all stop at Amsterdam Zuid — those are the lines Gelderlandplein currently lists for the station. If you would rather ride the last part, tram 5 or tram 25 stops at A.J. Ernststraat on Buitenveldertselaan. Walk east from that stop along Arent Janszoon Ernststraat. The practice is on that stretch, about five minutes on foot west of Gelderlandplein. Gelderlandplein also notes that works can change the route, so check the GVB planner on the day.

People who work in the towers and want the page written around desk pain and a session fitted to a working day can read physiotherapy at the Zuidas. This page is the route from the district to the door.

What comes in from the Zuidas

Screens, sitting, and training squeezed into the week.

The complaints are ordinary, and they are specific to days spent in the district. The assessment looks at the pattern, not only the spot that hurts.

Questions

From this neighbourhood.

How long does it take from Amsterdam Zuid station?+
About 15 minutes on foot, or 6 minutes by bike, for a 1.1 km route south across Gustav Mahlerplein and De Boelelaan. Tram 5 or 25 to the A.J. Ernststraat stop is the alternative if you do not want to walk it. Check GVB on the day, because works on that corridor are already published by Gelderlandplein.
Can I fit a session into a lunch break?+
The walk from the station is about 15 minutes each way. A 25-minute session plus that walk does not fit a one-hour lunch. The 25-minute session works if you are already nearby. The 55-minute session is the better fit before or after work.
Which languages are the sessions in?+
English, Dutch and Japanese, with Hidekazu Kuwabara. A lot of Zuidas patients book in English. Japanese is available in the same physiotherapy session, not as a separate service.
What does a session cost?+
Physiotherapy is €68 for 25 minutes and €126 for 55 minutes. Dry needling, when it is used, is part of that session. It is not a separate fee.
Do I need a referral?+
No. You can book physiotherapy directly (Directe Toegang Fysiotherapie). Whether your insurer reimburses it depends on your supplementary policy. We do not publish a coverage figure.
WHEN YOU'RE READY

One session.
A different understanding.

The first session is for listening — your history, your pattern, your goal. Treatment begins the same day.
