Groep Lowette

What Groep Lowette does

Groep Lowette is a Belgian multidisciplinary physiotherapy and holistic therapy practice operating three physical locations in the Limburg region: Sint-Truiden (Zepperen), Sint-Truiden (Luikersteenweg), and Tongeren. Founded in 1994 and registered as a private limited company (BV) under Belgian law, the practice delivers kinesitherapy (physiotherapy) combined with complementary modalities including osteopathy, applied kinesiology, acupuncture, KPNI (Clinical Psycho-Neuro-Immunology), NST (Neurostructural Integration Technique), and orthomolecular nutrition. The practice is structured around two pillars — kinesitherapie (covering pediatric, adult, sports, pre/postnatal, and neuromotor rehabilitation specialties) and a holistic/complementary therapies pillar — with services coordinated across a multidisciplinary team of specialized therapists.

The company generates revenue through per-session professional service fees for individual treatment courses, with partial reimbursement available through Belgian health insurance mutualiteiten for certain treatments when accompanied by a physician's prescription. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by therapy type and session length. The go-to-market model is community-led and reputation-driven: the practice relies on word-of-mouth referrals, regional SEO, and the professional credibility of founder Dimitri Lowette, who served as physiotherapist for the Belgian national football team (Rode Duivels) during the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 European Championship, and has provided services to the national teams of Ivory Coast, Jordan, and Iran, as well as Belgian First Division clubs STVV and Limburg United Basketball. Customer segments include individual adult patients, pediatric patients, pre/postnatal women, and professional and amateur athletes. The practice is actively recruiting kinesitherapists across multiple specialties, indicating ongoing expansion.
