What Bewegingsvisie does

Bewegingsvisie B.V. is a Dutch orthopedic collaboration network headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands, wholly owned by holding company POB Groep B.V. The entity aggregates 10 independent orthopedic instrument makers (members include Buchrnhornen, ForMotion Orthopedie, Gardeslen, Guido Schoenen Ortho, Heckert & van Lierop, Meijer Orthopedie, OTNN, OTH, Stel Orthopedie, and Van Meenen Orthopedie) operating 30+ physical locations across the Netherlands and embedded presence in multiple hospitals. The network employs 310 nationally trained specialists delivering custom and standard orthopedic devices to patients referred by general practitioners, rehabilitation physicians, physiotherapists, and orthopedic surgeons.

The product portfolio centers on six categories: custom-made prosthetics (arms, legs, breasts with mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electronic joints), orthoses for support and correction, orthopedic corsets, redressiehelm (corrective helmets for babies with positional skull deformity and post-endoscopic craniosynostosis cases), custom insoles, and therapeutic elastic compression stockings. Manufacturing relies on high-quality materials (plastic, textile, cork) and proprietary design elements such as a two-shell helmet system and a 6mm ultra-thin helmet construction. Production lead times are 5-10 working days for custom items and immediate availability for confectie (standard) products.

Revenue is generated primarily through Dutch health-insurance reimbursement under contracts with virtually all major Dutch health insurers, supplemented by direct-to-patient sales where applicable. The go-to-market is referral-driven from prescribers in the care chain, supported by a content website, LinkedIn presence, and the registered BEVI Kwaliteitskeurmerk quality mark. Strategic partnerships span global manufacturers (Ottobock, Ossur North Europe), an academic medical center (UMC Radboud for craniosynostose and osseointegration), and an innovation partner (Polymer Science Park). The organization self-positions as a top-3 orthopedic instrumentmaker in the Netherlands.

Revenue model

1. Orthopedic device sales and manufacturing: Sale and manufacture of custom orthopedic devices including prosthetics, orthotics, corsets, corrective helmets, insoles, and therapeutic elastic stockings. Products are either custom-made or standard/confectie (off-the-shelf). Revenue is primarily collected through health insurance reimbursements with contracts with virtually all Dutch health insurers.
2. Health insurance billing and administration: Administrative handling of insurance claims for patients. When patients bring the application and insurance card to the first appointment, the member handles the administrative processing of the insurance portion. Some products go directly to insurance, others to the patient who may then claim reimbursement.
3. Custom-made orthopedic products: Custom-made orthopedic devices produced after measurement and authorization. Made-to-measure products include corsets, ortheses, and prosthetics tailored to individual patient specifications.
