Fysiotherapie Praktijk Waterland

What Fysiotherapie Praktijk Waterland does

Fysiotherapie Praktijk Waterland is a privately held, owner-operated physiotherapy practice based in Spijkenisse, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands, founded in 1999 and operating for more than 25 years. The practice is jointly owned by manual therapist Shailindra Bhikhari and physiotherapist/oedema therapist Nienke Klaasen, and delivers multidisciplinary rehabilitation across two physical locations (Spijkenisse and Heenvliet) using a combination of hands-on manual therapy and hands-off exercise-based modalities.

The service portfolio spans general physiotherapy plus specialized verticals including manual therapy, pediatric physiotherapy, edema and lymphedema therapy, sports physiotherapy, orofacial/jaw therapy, hand therapy, oncology rehabilitation (a 15-week twice-weekly group program), dry needling, medical/sports taping, shockwave therapy (both radial and focused, using Enraf-Nonius equipment), andullation therapy on the Andumedic mat, and supervised medical fitness. The Heenvliet site adds focused shockwave therapy not offered in Spijkenisse. The practice serves patients from infancy through senior years and is recognized as a training institute by Hogeschool Rotterdam, Hogeschool van Amsterdam, and Hogeschool Leiden.

The business model is a per-session fee-for-service structure with transparent uninsured rates (e.g., €48 for a regular physiotherapy session, €67 for manual therapy, €68 for pediatric and edema sessions) and direct billing to virtually all Dutch health insurers for covered treatments. Patient acquisition is driven primarily by GP and specialist referrals, supplemented by self-referrals, local SEO, and a presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Revenue streams are diversified across at least seven patient segments and multiple therapy types, with only one disclosed commercial partnership (VV Spijkenisse football club), indicating a low-concentration, long-tail revenue profile.
