Every appointment follows the same steps: we listen to your story, examine your complaint and agree on a plan with you.
Check
A supervisor checks with you whether our learning clinic suits your complaint, or whether regular physiotherapy is a better fit.
Assessment
A student examines your complaint, with a physiotherapist present and a teacher observing.
Advice and exercises
We explain what is going on and give you advice and exercises you can continue yourself.
Up to 3 sessions
A maximum of three appointments. Need more? We help you find a regular physiotherapist.
Please note: Physiotherapy Groningen is a student learning clinic, not a regular physiotherapy practice. Treatment is given by physiotherapy students as part of their education, under the supervision of qualified physiotherapists. We offer a short assessment and advice, with a maximum of three appointments. This does not replace regular physiotherapy or medical care. If your complaint needs more, we will refer you.
First: is our clinic right for you?
Every intake session starts with a short check. Together with the supervisor, we decide if our learning clinic suits your complaint, or if you are better helped by another healthcare professional. If we decide that our clinic is not the best fit for your complaint, we will explain why and help you find a physiotherapist or advise you to see your GP.
Who treats you
You are treated by first- and second-year international physiotherapy students (2-4 students will be present with you) of Hanze University of Applied Sciences.
A qualified physiotherapist is always present in the clinic and observes the sessions. The supervising physiotherapist is responsible for your care.
Your first appointment
- Book a date and time online and describe your complaint briefly.
- Pay €5 online or in person at your first session.
- Wear or bring clothes you can move in.
Up to three appointments
You can book a maximum of three appointments: a first appointment covers the intake, assessment and advice; the second appointment includes a check-up and treatment plan; the last appointment is for evaluation of how you are improving and adjusting the treatment plan if needed. We focus on understanding your complaint and give you a treatment plan that can help with your recovery independently. If you need more treatment, we can help you find a physiotherapist.
Costs
Each session costs €5, for both the first appointment and follow-up treatments. You pay online or in person.
Clear communication
We take the time to explain everything, so you understand your complaint and the steps you need to take to recover. This also helps our students practice clear communication.
