What we can do for you

01. Individual sessions – CEP

Our individualized clinical gym program is based on the concepts of Clinical Exercise Physiology (CEP), which originated from Australia, the US, and Canada due to the increasing demand for effective yet safe exercise programming for acute and chronic health conditions and disabilities. What has developed into a Master-level qualification and often specialization after Physiotherapy, CEP focuses on patients’ exercise screening, assessments, programming, and reassessment to encourage long-term positive behavior change and empowerment.

Our Clinical Gym is lead by Katina McCulloch (co-founder of Waves) who is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist with Exercise Sport Science Australia (ESSA) and a member of the American College of Sport Medicine.

Our team is composed of physiotherapists or highly-experienced personal trainers who specialise in holistic exercise practices to actively support you and your short- and long-term goals. As a team we have the skills and knowledge base to work with a wide range of conditions, including those which are rare and complex.

What clients say about us

As a brain injury patient (NAH sustained in March 2019), switching to Waves was a major step forward. My initial goal was to do more sports, but quickly grew into a new approach to physical rehabilitation, with positive results after only a few months. The multidisciplinary approach ensured that both muscle mass and stability have improved so much that I dare to dream again of a life with limited impact of my disability.

— Kris

‘Do you want to be welcomed warmly and lovingly? Then you have come to the right place at Waves. Bavo and Femke have a listening ear and adjust the professional kiné to your size and personal lifestyle. Even in my busy ‘momlife lifestyle’ they knew how to build in a routine. In the stylishly decorated room you automatically come to rest.’

— Tine Bloemen

‘If you like warm, open and professional people, the Waves team is the right place for you! I have been in coaching with Bavo and his team for physio and pilates for a while and I keep coming back with pleasure every time.’

— Charlotte Vitse

‘Lien is just incredible – she excudes such positive energy, and she pays close attention to you as an individual even when it’s a group class. I always leave feeling great both physically and mentally’
