UwFysio

What UwFysio does

UwFysio is a privately-held physiotherapy practice headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, founded approximately in 2019 by Bryan, who serves as both owner and practising physiotherapist (fysiotherapeut/eigenaar). The practice operates three physical clinics across Utrecht neighbourhoods — Zuilen (original location), Ondiep (opened September 2021), and Lauwerecht (per September 2025) — and serves patients through a Direct-To-Fysio (DTF) model that does not require a physician referral, a positioning the principals trace back to 2006. Services span general physiotherapy, manual therapy, rehabilitation (post-surgical and post-CVA), oedema therapy, diagnostic ultrasound (echografie), shockwave therapy, dry needling, custom orthotics, home physiotherapy in postal codes 3551–3555, and condition-specific treatments for jaw, neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee, ankle, and claudication complaints. The named team comprises nine therapists, including specialists with MSc Manual Therapy, hand physiotherapy, oedema therapy, and shockwave credentials.

The practice's technology surface is clinical rather than software-based: pressure-plate foot scanning feeds custom orthotic production at partner The Footcare Group, while shockwave, ultrasound imaging, and dry needling are delivered in-clinic. Operations are supported by SmartFile for online appointment booking and Google Analytics for website traffic; no proprietary software platform, no public API, no mobile app, and no AI/ML components are disclosed. All physiotherapists are registered in the Centraal Kwaliteitsregister Fysiotherapie and the BIG-register, and the practice operates under Dutch Medical Treatment Agreement Act (WGBO) and AVG (GDPR) compliance.

UwFysio's commercial model is direct-to-consumer B2C. Treatments are unit-priced (intakes at €68, standard physiotherapy at €50, specialist sessions at €68–€95, diagnostics at €95) and the majority of revenue flows through Dutch supplementary health insurance (aanvullende verzekering) under contracts with all major insurers. The practice charges no additional fee for home visits within its postal-code range and offers a 48-hour first-appointment guarantee with extended evening hours. Reported operational metrics include approximately 350 treatments per week, a cumulative ~3,489 patients treated, a 9.5/10 average rating on ZorgkaartNederland from 200+ reviews, a 94% patient recommendation rate, and a 96% problem-resolution rate after five sessions. The business is privately funded, founder-owned, and discloses no external capital.
