Pain that keeps coming back? Relief that fades after a few sessions? Most treatment chases the symptom — Hide traces it to the cause and corrects how your body moves, so the change holds.

Pain is rarely where the problem starts. Using Western diagnostic tools and full-body movement analysis, I trace the origin — not just the symptom.
Western physiotherapy excels at acute injuries. Japanese acupuncture goes deeper — restoring balance and activating the body’s own healing capacity. Together, they do more.
Posture, lifestyle, stress, sleep — they all connect. I look at the full picture and build a plan that fits how you actually live, not just how you present in a clinic.
“A footballer with chronic knee pain.
The knee wasn’t the problem.”
By examining the full kinetic chain — not just the painful joint — and combining acupuncture with movement correction, we resolved the pain, corrected the underlying pattern, and got him back on the pitch. No recurrence.
I’ve worked with professional football clubs in Belgium and the Netherlands, treated athletes across Europe and Japan, and helped people of all ages — from children with growing pains to adults navigating chronic conditions.
What I’ve learned from all of them: the body always tells the truth. My job is to listen carefully, and to integrate the best of Western and Eastern medicine into a treatment that actually lasts.
No — physiotherapy is directly accessible in the Netherlands, so you can book straight away. If your insurer asks for a referral for reimbursement, we’ll point you in the right direction.
A full intake — your history, your goals and a movement assessment — usually followed by treatment on the same day. You leave knowing what we found and what comes next.
Yes — and they’re coached, not just listed. Hide is a certified CrossFit Level 1 trainer (CF-L1), so the home exercises he prescribes are built on sound movement mechanics and sensible progression — clear, specific and made to fit how you actually train.
Yes — Hide trained in both and uses Japanese acupuncture alongside physiotherapy when it helps reach the cause faster. He’ll always discuss it with you first.

Good to know
Hide’s physiotherapy is an ongecontracteerde praktijk (a practice with no insurer contracts), so treatment is not fully reimbursed — what you get back depends on your policy. We’ll explain invoicing at your first visit.

“I have tried multiple Physiotherapists in the Netherlands and none compare to Hide. You would be simply lucky to have him as your Physiotherapist. His attention to detail is immense, his deep understanding of the human muscular system is truly remarkable and his empathy and understanding he shows towards patients goals is top class. Do yourself a favour and visit Hide for any sports related/ general injuries, it is key for your recovery back to your healthy lifestyle.”
“I wanted to get back to playing football, but after going through multiple injuries and trying several physios, I was starting to lose hope. Most focused only on the symptoms and short-term fixes, no one really helped me understand what was going wrong or how to prevent it from happening again. That changed when I found Hidekazu. He really takes the time to listen and focus on the root causes instead of just treating the pain. For the first time, I feel like I understand how my body works and what I need to do to move better and stay injury-free. I’m genuinely happy to have found him, couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Hide saved me from a very bad cervical spine hernia! When I went to my first session, I couldn’t stay up or sit for too long. He was very patient and incredible with my rehabilitation. After two weeks, I was able to sit and have meals with my family again. After a month, I was able to go back to work and (slowly) get back with my life. It wasn’t just a physical work, it was also psychological. He deeply cared about me personally and I truly appreciate his dedication. Definitely recommend his work!!”
“He takes the time to really listen, explains the treatment calmly and clearly, and creates a very safe and relaxing environment. His combination of acupuncture and physiotherapy feels thoughtful and holistic, not rushed or generic. After the sessions I noticed a significant improvement in tension, stress levels, and overall body balance. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and attentive practitioner in Amsterdam!”
“Very thankful to Hide’s skills and insights that finally gave me some hope for a full recovery. I had seen plenty of other physios since my complex knee surgery, and Hide is the only one who had tips that helped me to regain full range of motion. Highly recommended!”
“I got an elbow pain for months. Hide treated me and after 1 session I already felt very good. The pain moved fully away after few days. Awesome help. Thanks a lot. I can only recommend him to anyone. On the top of it, he is very friendly, flexible and giving extra guidance to prevent it happening again.”
