Bavo Wouters

Bavo, co-founder and director of Waves, is a licensed physiotherapist and (almost) certified Pilates instructor with a special interest in supporting individuals with chronic pain, hyperventilation, anxiety, and psychosomatics. With a strong foundation in specialized training and continued education, he is deeply committed to self-development and helping others grow.

BAVO’S BACKGROUND

Originally from Limburg, Bavo moved to Leuven to study physiotherapy and has since formed a deep connection to the city. Growing up with chronic pain himself, he learned—through patience, movement, and support—to develop the tools needed to live a pain-free life.

WHY HE DOES WHAT HE DOES

Bavo’s personal experience with chronic pain, along with the challenges it presented, sparked his interest in understanding the mechanisms of pain. This passion fuels his dedication to educating and empowering his clients, providing them with the tools to actively participate in their own journeys toward well-being.

BAVO’S DOWN TIME

A devoted music enthusiast, Bavo fills his free time with all things musical. Whether swing dancing, playing guitar, attending festivals, or attempting to sing, his love for rhythm and melody shines through. Beyond music, he prioritizes exercise, cooking, and meditation as ways to keep his body and mind healthy and balanced.
