Hide Kuwabara — Physiotherapist & Founder
PHYSIOTHERAPY

Hide Kuwabara

Physiotherapist & Founder

Founder

Movement analysis · Sports rehab · Injury prevention · Athletic performance · East–West integration

Amsterdam Zuid daily · Amstelveen Friday mornings

Contact: hide@alterphysio.com

Hide trained in physiotherapy and went on to study Japanese acupuncture — not as a separate discipline, but as an extension of the same question: why does this body move the way it does?

His work covers injury recovery, athletic performance, and the kind of chronic pain that standard treatment has not resolved. He works with professional athletes and everyday movers alike, with the same underlying method: understand the pattern, correct the root, train the body to hold the change.

He is fluent in English and Japanese.

Haruki Sakai — Acupuncturist — Internal Medicine & Moxibustion
ACUPUNCTURE

Haruki Sakai

Acupuncturist — Internal Medicine & Moxibustion

Independent

Internal medicine · Moxibustion · Digestive & hormonal balance · Nervous system · Constitutional care

Amsterdam Zuid only

Practiced under Haruki Works

Contact: haruki.sakai.0925@gmail.com

Haruki comes from a family with deep roots in traditional medicine — his home is a temple. His training is grounded in classical Japanese acupuncture, with a particular specialisation in internal medicine and moxibustion.

He works with clients whose symptoms are diffuse or difficult to explain — digestive imbalance, hormonal disruption, fatigue, stress, and the kind of systemic tension that does not respond to structural treatment alone. His approach is quiet, precise, and deeply attuned to constitutional patterns.

He works in Dutch and Japanese.

Soichiro Funo — Acupuncturist — Orthopaedic & Clinical
ACUPUNCTURE

Soichiro Funo

Acupuncturist — Orthopaedic & Clinical

Independent

Ultrasound-guided needling · Electro-acupuncture · Orthopaedic conditions · Allergy & immune · Sports injury recovery

Amsterdam Zuid daily · Amstelveen Friday afternoons

Practiced under BodyRemaker

Contact: wnoxp45@gmail.com

Soichiro worked in orthopaedic settings before specialising in acupuncture — an unusual combination that shapes how he thinks about injury, recovery, and the body’s capacity to heal.

He uses ultrasound guidance for precise needle placement, and electro-acupuncture for injury recovery and musculoskeletal conditions. He also treats allergic conditions and immune-related concerns, drawing on both Western pathology and Eastern regulatory principles.

For patients who prefer a clinical explanation of what is happening and why — Soichiro communicates with the clarity of someone trained in both worlds.

He works in English, Dutch, and Japanese.
