Fysiotherapie de Goffert

What Fysiotherapie de Goffert does

Fysiotherapie de Goffert is a private physiotherapy practice founded in 1965 in Nijmegen, Netherlands, operating under its current name since 1978. It delivers primary-care and specialized physiotherapy from three Nijmegen locations (Dobbelmannweg headquarters in Hazenkamp, Medisch Centrum Sint Anna, and My HealthClub), supplemented by home visits and video consultations via Clickdoc. The clinical portfolio spans more than twenty specialized treatment modalities — including manual therapy, McKenzie exercise therapy, dry needling, medical taping, echodiagnostics, functional gait training (FLT, a method developed at Radboud UMC), neurorehabilitation, oncology rehabilitation, lymphedema therapy, pelvic health, pulmonary rehabilitation (COPD/post-COVID), diabetes exercise programs, vestibular rehabilitation, and the Valpreventie 'In Balans' fall-prevention program. The practice holds direct-billing contracts with all Dutch health insurers, operates under BIG-register and KNGF Kwaliteitsregister (CKR) accreditation, and uses Directe Toegankelijkheid Fysiotherapie (DTF) allowing patient self-referral.

The practice is staffed by eight physiotherapists plus one lifestyle coach, each with defined specializations (e.g., Kim Keeling for lung therapy, Desirée van den Boom for manual therapy and headache/jaw, Ian Donnelly for medical taping and sports/orthopedic care, Maureen Völler for the Combined Lifestyle Intervention/GLI program). Strategic partnerships anchor the business: Avalon Fitcentre (since 2009) provides rehabilitation training facilities; Medisch Centrum Sint Anna (since 2008) creates an integrated multi-disciplinary environment alongside GPs and allied health; and memberships in Chronisch Zorgnet, Coöperatie Fysiotherapeuten Nijmegen (CFN), Oncologisch Netwerk Zuid Gelderland (ONZG), Orthoparc, and Plexuspoli Radboud UMC secure access to specialized reimbursed care pathways and academic referral pipelines.

The business model is per-session fee-for-service priced at €48-€90 per treatment (first visit €66, manual therapy €59.75, edema therapy €66, ultrasound screening with report €90, complex care €75, telephone consultation €48), with home-visit surcharges of €23.50 and full no-show fee enforcement (€48). Most services are reimbursed through Dutch supplementary (aanvullende) and basic insurance, billed directly to all zorgverzekeraars. Patient segments are diversified across neurological, orthopedic, geriatric, sports, respiratory, diabetes, oncological, lymphedema, pelvic, overweight, and vascular use cases, served via self-referral (DTF), GP/specialist referral, and community channels including Vierdaagse walking-event massage. The practice is privately owned by its clinicians with no parent company, institutional investors, or M&A activity disclosed.
