Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy in Belgium is a master degree level qualification. Physiotherapists traditionally have focused on the physical structures of our body (muscles, bones, connective tissue, organs etc.), however as the understanding of pain and injury complexity has deepened so has our approach. We are proud to embed ourselves within the biopsychosocial model of health and to encourage you to be active in your health journey. Truly understanding you, your goals, your barriers, your circumstances are paramount to effective long-term change and health management.

This is the Waves difference.

Here at Waves we are also firm believers in multidisciplinary care, meeting regularly to discuss cases and to put forward a united front. Our physiotherapists often work together with other health practitioners to create the most effective treatment programme for you.

Osteopathy Waves Leuven

Osteopathy

Osteopaths in Belgium are often physiotherapists who have gone on and continued a post-graduate course in osteopathy. They tend to approach the whole body rather than specific areas and perform a more subtle treatment to the bones, muscles, connective tissue and organs.

At Waves, our osteopaths treat general areas and they’re also specialised in pre- and post-natal support, as well as infants and children. They work closely with our women’s health exercise specialists in the Gym and Pilates Studio to provide holistic support.

Psychology

Within health and well-being, the mental component plays a crucial role. Your thoughts, emotions, and actions are intrinsically connected. At Waves, we take this interplay into account by addressing all these aspects in our approach. Our therapists integrate principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into their work, helping patients navigate their challenges and symptoms so they can lead a values-driven life.

Stef is a psychologist at Waves and supports you in mental aspects such as emotions, thought patterns, self-image, and overall well-being, with the aim of strengthening your self-regulation skills.

Psychomotor therapy and Sexology

For psychomotor therapy and sexology, we collaborate with an external therapist, Jildou van der Hoop. In psychomotor therapy, she uses movement-based exercises to help individuals develop bodily awareness and a sense of connection with their physical and emotional selves. Her treatments mainly focus on children and adults experiencing stress and tension-related issues, psychosocial problems and eating disorders. Sexology is a verbal therapy where there is a safe space to talk and ask questions about sexual matters and worries. In the therapy Jildou will help and guide you trough these issues.
