Maatschap voor Fysiotherapie Dokkum Damwoude

What Maatschap voor Fysiotherapie Dokkum Damwoude does

Maatschap voor Fysiotherapie Dokkum Damwoude, operating as Fysio Dokkum-Damwoude, is a regional physiotherapy partnership (maatschap) serving the Noordoost Friesland region of the Netherlands from three clinic locations in Dokkum, Damwâld, and Anjum. The practice provides general physiotherapy and exercise therapy alongside a broad portfolio of specialized services including pediatric physiotherapy, manual therapy (including HCFS for infants), orofacial therapy, edema therapy, Cesar exercise therapy, oncological physiotherapy, vestibular rehabilitation, COPD training, Long-Covid recovery, Parkinson/Multiple Sclerosis care, and Schroth scoliosis therapy. Its digital infrastructure is limited to the third-party MijnZorgApp patient portal used for appointment management, SMS/email reminders, and home exercise programs; the underlying technology is fundamentally manual hands-on therapy and exercise-based intervention rather than software-driven.

The practice operates a direct-to-consumer model under Dutch Directe Toegankelijkheid Fysiotherapie (DTF), allowing patients to self-refer without a GP for most treatments, while leveraging contracts with virtually all Dutch health insurers for direct billing. Revenue is generated primarily through insurer-reimbursed treatments (including basic-insurance coverage for claudication training, pediatric care, and COPD), supplemented by private out-of-pocket payments, no-show fees (€37.50), home-visit surcharges (€19), and a growing slate of subscription and course-based group programs (Pilates at €110/3 months, Bekkenfit at €117.50/10 weeks, medical training therapy at €117.50–€235/3 months). Patient acquisition is driven by GP and specialist referrals, insurance network listings, condition-specific SEO content on fysiodokkumdamwoude.nl, and community word-of-mouth through group classes held at the De Donia community center in Damwâld.

The team comprises 13+ staff including approximately 10 clinical therapists with multiple MSc-level specializations and affiliations to national clinical networks (ParkinsonNet, ChronischZorgNet, MS Zorg Nederland, Onconet/NOFF, Duizeligheidsnet, HoofdpijnNetwerkNoord). The practice is owner-operated under Greetje Risselada as praktijkeigenaar, with no external investors, parent company, or funding history. Operating hours run Monday/Wednesday to 21:00 to improve accessibility, and group programs are delivered through community partnerships rather than fully self-contained facilities.

Revenue model

1. Health Insurance Reimbursed Treatments: The majority of revenue comes from treatments reimbursed through Dutch health insurance (zorgverzekering). The practice has contracts with virtually all Dutch health insurers. Patients with supplementary insurance are billed directly to the insurer. Children under 18 receive the first 18 treatments from basic insurance at no cost to the family. Chronic condition patients receive treatments after the first 20 sessions from supplementary insurance.
2. Private/Out-of-Pocket Payments: When insurance coverage is exhausted or for uninsured services, patients pay private rates. The practice also charges for missed appointments (€37.50) and home/institution treatment surcharges.
3. Group Programs and Medical Training Therapy: Revenue from group exercise classes (Pilates, Bekkenfit, Bekkenbodemfit, Zwanger en Fit) and medical training therapy subscriptions. Pilates: €110 per 3 months; group courses (10-week programs): €117.50 including individual intake. Medical training therapy: €117.50 (1x/week) or €235 (2x/week) for 3-month subscriptions.
