What do we do?
Spine rehabilitation
Spinal problems can cause pain and loss of mobility. Back pain has many popular names such as: backache, lumbago, hernia, sciatica... Kinetiek specialises in precisely diagnosing the cause of back or neck pain and in providing customized remedial therapy.
Sports physiotherapy
To engage in sports is healthy, but it can also lead to muscle strain or injuries. Kinetiek specialises in the rehabilitation of such injuries. Through manual mobilizations, remedial therapy and strength exercises we try to get you quickly back on your feet while avoiding relapse.
Manual therapy
With manual therapy, we try to eliminate or reduce functional problems in the joints of the human body.
Osteopathy
With osteopathy, we focus on the improvement of the decreased mobility of tissues and structures within the body.
Sports coaching
Kinetiek assists (top)athletes with sports rehabilitation, customized training programs, preventive screenings, taping,... Kinetiek already worked with several top athletes and Tom Dieussaert is a lecturer at the Topsportschool in Leuven. Kinetiek works in close cooperation with sports doctors (for instance from: BLITS located on the same floor).
Personal training
Sporty tailored guidance for both the recreational and competitive athlete. Ideal for sports enthusiasts with a particular target (e.g., 20 km of Brussels), triathletes, people with a busy schedule or with a medical background (low back pain, diabetes,...). The sessions last minimum 1h. Feel free to contact Harold for a first meeting, free of obligation.
Ergonomic advise
A correct posture is the foundation of a healthy body. Many neck and back problems stem from poor (sitting) posture. Kinetiek provides personalized advice on proper posture (depending on your problem). See for instance this animation about the benefits of good posture.
Injury prevention
It is of course best to avoid injuries! Are you for instance worried about your back/posture at work? Wondering whether you engage correctly in the gym? Do you have a tough job and would you like preventive practice? That's possible! Kinetiek can give you personalized advice.

Our vision
The group practice Kinetiek was founded in 2005 by Tom, Igor, Ellen en Karlien, hence the name KineTIEK. Before, we were already working on campus and engaged in physiotherapy. Meanwhile our team has grown to seven physiotherapists. We are all Master in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy and we followed several postgraduate programs and/or specializations and continue to evolve via supplementary training.
Physiotherapy has evolved tremendously in recent years. In order to offer state-of-the-art quality treatment, specializing is a necessity. The physiotherapists of Kinetiek have therefore organized themselves into two teams. One team specialises in spine rehabilitation, back, neck and pelvic problems. The other team specialises in
extremities, that is all the injuries of the musculoskeletal system other than the spine. This can range from Achilles tendinitis, schoulder dislocations to rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and sports rehabilitation after injury etc. If necessary, we work with therapists from both teams.
A part of the musculoskeletal (e.g. a muscle or ligament) can get injured after for instance an accident, illness or overload during training. Over the years, Kinetiek has developed a unique approach to pursue sustainable recovery based on three pillars: a thorough Examination, a personalized Manual treatment and a custom-made Remedial therapy.
Through expert advice and customized remedial therapy we are happy to keep you healthy and in motion.
Team kinetiek
Examination
An efficient and purposeful treatment hinges on a sound and in-depth examination. On a first visit (the intake), we spend ample time to examine you. By means of an interview (anamnesis), different types of tests and the assessment of posible additional material (such as medical images), we try to accurately determine the underlying cause of the complaint(s). If necessary, we also do a gait and motion analysis. We are happy to share our findings and insights with you, because you have every interest in knowing exactly what is causing your problem. By clearly explaining to you what the problem is, you will better understand why certain activities must be adjusted or even avoided for a while. Think of a good posture, avoiding certain movements and sports ... With that knowledge, you yourself can contribute to a quick recovery.
Manual treatment
Kinetiek pays great value to manual treatment. During each session, we reassess the injury and select the most appropiate treatment method.
Remedial therapy
Kinetiek specialises in rehabilitation through remedial therapy. For almost all problems, exercises are necessary to get your body back into balance or to simply make your body stronger. Remedial therapy is also often necessary to avoid relapse. The treatment of a complaint/pain is often not enough to keep a complaint away permanently. That's why we will search for the cause of your complaint during the intake. This will allow us to explain to you how to avoid possible relaps. The exercises will also be tailored to you and adjusted if necessary. The remedial therapy is always performed under close suppervision of your therapist. In most cases, you will get a training schedule to take home.
Our facilities
The practice is located next to an athletics track and a sports complex with swimming pool. This allows us to work in sport specific ways.
Kinetiek has a spacious and modern practice of more than 400 m2 with lots of daylight.
This long mat is used for gait rehabiliation and running technique exercises.
The treadmill is used for gait rehabiliation and running technique exercises.
The practice is located near the university swimming pool. This allows us to offer treatments just before or after a swim session.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
We believe that the 20-minute treatment, which is granted per patient in the convention, is not sufficient to achieve a quick, efficient and long-term result.
Our practice uses a different approach than most physiotherapists. A session at Kinetiek (including exercise therapy under supervision) therefore takes more time.
A refund from the health insurance is only possible if you have a valid prescription for physiotherapy.
