Marie Roosendaal - Physio

Hello, I'm Marie, a sports physiotherapist in heart and soul. I graduated from KU Leuven in 2013 and also obtained a postgraduate diploma in manual therapy. I am a busy bee and I am active within the hockey federation where I work with the female national team, the athletics federation within which I support the elite athletes and I also do assignments for the BOIC a number of times a year.
I take all these experiences with me to help patients with a sports related request for help.

I am also sportive myself, and although that is limited to a recreational level, sport is of big importance to me.
I like to discover the world on my bicycle, with my 2 sons and my husband, and I'm also a runner. I like to take part in a sportive challenge every now and then!

My passion for the job 

It is my passion to guide athletes and take them to a higher level by working preventively and curatively. A personal approach is central to meeting the individual needs of each athlete. I like to take a closer look at complex problems and try to address all the different aspects that can play a role in this, such as lifestyle, ergonomics, sleep, ... For this I work closely with a large number of experts in different fields (doctors, osteopaths, strength trainers, dieticians, coaches, physiotherapists, ...). Because I strongly believe that great collaborations lead to strong goals.

By means of manual techniques I try to increase the patient's capacity and thus create better conditions to get started with targeted exercise therapy!

What I want to achieve as a physiotherapist

It is my goal to give athletes of all levels a better understanding of their own abilities, their own body and to provide them with tools to reach their full potential. I want to give my patients the knowledge they need so that they can maintain control over their (sportive) goals in the long term.
I like to map out a full treatment plan for everyone's goal, whether it's small profit margins for a top athlete or physical obstacles for a recreational athlete, I strive to let everyone enjoy sports (again)!
