Physiotherapy for
the Zuidas.

English-speaking physio for the people who keep the business district running — minutes from the office, no referral needed.

For Zuidas Professionals

Long hours at a desk, travel, training squeezed into a packed week — the body keeps the score. We treat the people working at the Zuidas in English, looking at the whole pattern rather than the part that hurts.

What We Help With

Common reasons people come in.

Desk & screen strain

Neck, upper-back and shoulder pain from long days at a workstation — assessed at the cause, not just the sore spot.

Low back pain

Sitting-related and recurring lower-back pain, with a plan you can keep up between meetings.

Sports & gym injuries

Running, padel, football and strength-training injuries, with a clear return-to-sport path.

Stress & tension

Tension headaches and stress held in the body — where physiotherapy and acupuncture work well together.

Zuidas FAQ

Common questions.

How far is the clinic from the Zuidas?+
We are in Amsterdam Zuid at Arent Janszoon Ernststraat 665A, a short ride from the Zuidas / WTC area — convenient for an appointment before or after work, or over a long lunch break.
Do I need a GP referral to start physiotherapy?+
No. In the Netherlands you can book physiotherapy directly without a GP referral (Directe Toegang Fysiotherapie), so you can start straight away.
Are sessions available in English?+
Yes. Every session is available in English, and the clinic regularly treats expats and international professionals working in Amsterdam. See our English-speaking physiotherapy page.
Do you treat sports injuries as well as desk-related pain?+
Yes. Plenty of people who work at the Zuidas train hard outside it, and sports physiotherapy runs alongside the desk-related work. If a problem has already been treated elsewhere without settling, our whole-body physiotherapy assessment is usually the better starting point.
Can you help with pain from long hours at a desk?+
Yes — neck, shoulder and lower-back pain from desk work is one of the most common reasons people from the Zuidas come in. We look at the whole pattern and give you a routine that fits a working week. Where the tension keeps coming back rather than settling, acupuncture at the Zuidas is often used alongside it.

Payment & insurance

Alter Physio is a non-contracted physiotherapy practice (an ongecontracteerde praktijk): we do not bill Dutch health insurers. You pay for your treatment directly and receive an invoice you can submit to your own insurer. Whether you are reimbursed, and how much, depends on your policy — please check the conditions with your insurer before starting treatment if that matters to you.

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.
