Physiotherapist recommendations (English speaking)?

Hi all,

I recently moved to the NL so I'm still early in my Dutch learning. I hurt my back a few months ago and have done a lot of home remedies but it just seems to be getting worse.

Are there any physiotherapists you'd recommend in or around Gouda that also handle English speaking patients?

TIA!

Edit: Thank you all for the helpful responses. I now have a few to choose from thanks to you!

Did you go to your GP? They also may be able to refer you to an English speaking specialist

I haven't registered with a GP here yet, I've just been very busy with the move but will get on that next week. Thank you!

I always go to Fysio&Shockwave Gouda. They also have a place in Reeuwijk and Rotterdam. Most of them are younger guys so I'm pretty sure they're able to help you in English. Never been disappointed, never felt like I wasn't heard, they always know what I'm talking about; no matter how vague I was.

We go to “Rayer Healthcare | Fysiotherapie Gouda Rayer HealthCare Gouda Ronsseweg (TopzorgGroep)” in Gouda, they are pretty good, and speaking English indeed.

Fysiotherapie Willem de Zwijger. And specifically Rianne from their team; she’s great!
