Kinderpraktijk Almelo

What Kinderpraktijk Almelo does

Kinderpraktijk Almelo is a privately held Dutch pediatric physiotherapy practice operating from three locations in Almelo (Zuid), Netherlands. The practice is co-owned by Sandra Kroeze-Lüers and Marika Buil, who took over and rebranded the original practice of Ab van Heijningen in April 2018. It serves children aged 0 to 18 with developmental delays, motor difficulties, sensory processing issues, orthopedic complaints, and rehabilitation needs, using play-based therapy, standardized observation tests, and sensory processing assessment. The team comprises six pediatric physiotherapists — all holding post-HBO qualifications with several holding Master's degrees in pediatric physiotherapy — plus one administrative staff member (Marian Oude Weernink). The practice holds BIG registration, NVFK membership, and the Fysiotherapie Keurmerk quality mark.

The practice operates a direct-to-consumer model with no physician referral required; patients or parents can book directly online or by phone. Revenue is fee-for-service billed per session, with publicly disclosed tariffs of €62 for a standard consultation, €88 for a home visit, €105 for screening/intake/examination, and €72.50 for a one-time physiotherapy report. All Dutch health insurers are contracted, and children under 18 are covered under basic insurance without deductible, with 18 treatments per calendar year standard and unlimited coverage for chronic conditions referred by a specialist. Beyond in-clinic appointments, the practice offers home visits for infants and on-site therapy at special education (SO) and after-school care (BSO) schools in Almelo. There is no proprietary software or technology product; the underlying capability is the clinical expertise of the therapists and their participation in the Kinderteam Almelo multi-disciplinary network for integrated developmental assessments within six weeks.

The business model is local healthcare services with a horizontal segmentation targeting parents and caregivers of children with developmental concerns. Customer acquisition relies on the practice website, Facebook and Instagram presence, direct phone contact, and referrals from consultation bureau doctors, school doctors, and teachers. The practice is actively recruiting an additional pediatric physiotherapist and shows no signs of geographic expansion outside Almelo or product diversification beyond pediatric physiotherapy.

Broad incumbents

• FysioHolland: Largest physiotherapy franchise chain in the Netherlands with hundreds of locations offering general physiotherapy and several specialty programs. Comparable as a Dutch outpatient PT provider operating at scale, though it does not specialize in pediatrics.
• TopzorgGroep: Dutch healthcare group encompassing physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and related paramedical services across multiple locations. Comparable as a multi-disciplinary Dutch outpatient care operator with broader scope than Kinderpraktijk Almelo's pediatric focus.
• Xpert Clinics: Dutch chain of specialist physiotherapy and orthopedic clinics with multiple locations. Comparable as a multi-site Dutch outpatient PT provider, though its clinical focus is orthopedic/specialist adult care rather than pediatrics.
• Equipe Fysiotherapie: Dutch physiotherapy group (formerly FysioTopics) operating multiple practice locations across the Netherlands. Comparable as a multi-site Dutch PT operator with broad insurance contracting, though not pediatric-focused.

Direct peers

• FyNeT: Dutch cooperative network of physiotherapy practices focused on quality, professional development, and shared back-office functions. Comparable as a Dutch PT operating model that emphasizes quality standards and insurer contracting — a structural alternative to independent local practice.
