What DBC does
DBC Re-integratie B.V., trading as DBC behandelcentrum voor bewegen en functioneren, is a Dutch multidisciplinary rehabilitation and reintegration treatment center headquartered in Enschede, Netherlands. Founded in 1999, the company treats clients with musculoskeletal complaints (neck, back, shoulder) and mental overload (stress, burnout, trauma), operating across two service domains: Arbeidsverzuim (occupational absenteeism) and Letselschade (personal injury recovery). Its service portfolio comprises structured programs including Duurzaam herstel na ongeval, Vitaal terugkeren naar de werkvloer, Aan de slag!, and Weer fit!, supported by modular components (Fysiek herstel, Mentaal herstel, Werkplekoriëntatie, Belastbaarheidsonderzoek) with an average trajectory duration of 6-18 weeks.
The company's clinical model rests on specialized rehabilitation equipment developed in Finland (designed to prevent compensation movements and make progress measurable), adaptive virtual reality training (both on-site and at-home with remote physiotherapist supervision), and functional eye-cooperation testing. Multidisciplinary integration of physiotherapists and psychologists under a single treatment protocol, combined with a no-waiting-list policy (intake within 5 working days, treatment start within 3), underpins the operational offering. Externally validated outcomes include 80%+ of clients returning to work during the program and 90% returning to work and life with enjoyment post-treatment, measured continuously since 2016 via QC Insurance independent research.
Commercially, DBC operates a referral-based, professional-services revenue model funded through Dutch occupational absenteeism insurers, personal injury insurers, employers, occupational health services, and claims bureaus. Referrers include a.s.r. (the largest Dutch absenteeism insurer), Nationale-Nederlanden, Achmea, Allianz, ArboNed, Human Capital Care, Wibbens, Kloppenburg, Heling & Partners, and employers such as Politie and VIB Netwerken. The company holds 7 treatment centers across the Netherlands and is credentialed with the Nationaal Keurmerk Letselschade, OVAL, and Vereniging Herstelgerichte Dienstverleners. DBC is privately held with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
