Asser Fysiotherapie Praktijk

What Asser Fysiotherapie Praktijk does

AFP-Fysiotherapie (operating as AFP-Fysio, legal name; doing-business-as includes AFP-Fitness) is a multidisciplinary physiotherapy and rehabilitation practice founded in 1988 and headquartered at Industrieweg 10, Assen, Netherlands. The practice operates a single 20-room, ground-floor facility that consolidates diagnostics, hands-on treatment, supervised rehabilitation, and adjacent fitness services under one roof. It serves regional patients in the Drenthe province via direct access, general-practitioner referrals, walk-in consultation hours (inloopspreekuur), and online booking, with intake channels spanning phone, email, WhatsApp, and web forms.

The service portfolio is unusually broad for a practice of its size: eight specializations (manual therapy, general physiotherapy, pelvic floor and pregnancy, MSK ultrasound imaging, hand therapy, edema therapy, psychosomatic physiotherapy, and sports physiotherapy) are supported by nine distinct treatment methods (dry needling, EPTE, shockwave, fascia integration therapy, VSO custom orthotics, NIMOC coccyx mobilization, sports massage, dance physiotherapy, and VALD functional assessment). Rehabilitation programs cover cardiac, oncological, stroke (CVA), COPD, and claudication intermittens, plus newer wellness offerings such as the 2026-launched Fit & Sterk Programma (6- or 12-month supervised training/recovery/nutrition). The practice advertises KNGF quality-house compliance and NVFS-certified sports physiotherapists, and hosts a clinical epidemiologist on the team for evidence-based practice and research participation.

Commercially, AFP-Fysio generates revenue from fee-for-service physiotherapy (tariffs published at /de-praktijk/tarieven), often covered under Dutch basic health insurance with the patient's deductible excess applying, and from adjacent AFP-Fitness subscriptions plus a Virtuagym e-commerce shop (afpsport.virtuagym.com). Distribution is entirely regional and direct-to-consumer (with GP and medical-specialist referrals), and no funding rounds, M&A, ownership change, or external investment signals appear in the data. Recent product and program launches in early 2026 and an ongoing facility renovation indicate continued reinvestment and incremental service-line expansion.
