Psychosomatic physiotherapy

Psychosomatic physiotherapy focuses on persistent physical symptoms that medical examinations do not explain, or do not fully explain. Treatment explores underlying factors together and the effect of the nervous system on the symptoms.

• Persistent pain
• Symptoms when moving and breathing
• Physical symptoms associated with anxiety, panic, trauma, stress, tension, burnout or depression
• Symptoms associated with fibromyalgia and functional neurological disorders

Breathing and relaxation therapy

The Dixhoorn method focuses on becoming more aware of and regulating physical or mental tension. Treatment uses spoken instructions and gentle hand techniques.

• Breathing and relaxation therapy, Dixhoorn method
• Breathing therapy for lung problems

Approach

The first appointment is online and focuses on the reason for seeking help and the factors that maintain the symptoms. Breathing and relaxation therapy consists of four online appointments lasting 30 to 60 minutes.

Reimbursement and appointments

Psychosomatic physiotherapy is partly reimbursed for people with supplementary physiotherapy insurance. Breathing and relaxation therapy may be reimbursed under supplementary insurance for alternative medicine. Appointments must be cancelled or rescheduled at least 48 hours in advance.
