SPORTS PHYSIO IN ENGLISH.Sports physiotherapy near Amsterdam and Schiphol

Get back to your sport after an injury, and ideally come back stronger. MC Sports Rehab is a sports physiotherapy practice in Lijnden, just outside Amsterdam and close to Schiphol. Our whole team speaks English, and our physios have worked at AZ Alkmaar, FC Volendam and ASV Lebo. You don’t need a referral: just message the physio of your choice on WhatsApp.

What we treat

We treat elite and recreational athletes: footballers, runners, tennis players, gym and CrossFit athletes. You don’t have to be a pro to get the same serious care.

  • Knee injuries, such as ACL, meniscus and patellar tendon problems
  • Ankle sprains and unstable ankles
  • Hamstring and calf injuries
  • Groin pain, common in footballers
  • Rehab after surgery, for example after an ACL reconstruction
  • Ultrasound (echo): we look at muscles, tendons and ligaments during your assessment and use it to track your recovery
  • Dry needling for trigger points and overloaded muscles, as part of your treatment

How it works

01

Assessment

We map out your injury, your sport and your goal, with movement and strength tests.

02

Personal plan

Exercise therapy and, where needed, manual techniques or dry needling. Strength tests show where you stand.

03

Back on the pitch

Sport-specific on-field rehab bridges the gap to team training. You return to competition when the tests say you’re ready.

One physio guides you from the first session to on-field rehab. Where needed, we work with sports doctors, orthopaedic surgeons, nutritionists, podiatrists and strength and conditioning coaches.
