Ster Fysio Coumans

What Ster Fysio Coumans does

Ster Fysio Coumans is a privately held, independent physiotherapy practice operating from a single clinic at Clavecymbelstraat 72 in the Caberg district of Maastricht, Netherlands. The practice delivers a broad range of musculoskeletal and rehabilitation services — general physiotherapy, medical taping, musculoskeletal ultrasound (echografie), shockwave therapy, manual therapy, sports rehabilitation, dry needling, pediatric physiotherapy, edema therapy, and geriatric physiotherapy — to a horizontal patient base spanning children, adults, athletes, and the elderly. It functions as a direct-to-consumer clinic with no referral required, while also accepting referrals from general practitioners and medical specialists, and offers home visits for mobility-limited geriatric patients. The practice is led by practice holder PJA Coumans and physiotherapist Peter Koumans within a 5-person team.

The practice is differentiated by its specialization breadth within a small-team footprint, its use of diagnostic and treatment equipment (ultrasound imaging, shockwave), and its memberships in curated regional and national clinical networks — BiBo with Maastricht UMC+, the SNMH shoulder network, ClaudicatioNet, and Maastricht Sport — which provide referral flows and quality-credential visibility, including a listing on ZorgkaartNederland. Technology is conventional for Dutch primary-care physiotherapy: IntraMed electronic patient records compliant with Dutch data protection law, musculoskeletal ultrasound for diagnostic support, and shockwave therapy hardware. There is no proprietary software, AI tooling, or digital product surface.

Commercially, Ster Fysio Coumans operates a unit-pricing model with 2026 contracts in place with all Dutch national health insurers. Standard sessions are billed at €44 and specialized sessions at €56, with examination/intake pricing of €61–€74 and surcharges for home and facility visits. Revenue derives from insurer reimbursement for covered treatments and direct self-pay for non-covered services. The practice has no disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity and is a founder-owned micro-enterprise by any reasonable measure.
