Why sports injuries are a different case
An injured athlete is not simply a patient in pain somewhere. They have a movement pattern, a discipline, a level of practice, a schedule. Rehabilitation that ignores these factors produces two common outcomes: a return too early leading to recurrence, or a stop too long that erodes fitness and confidence.
The goal of well-managed sports rehabilitation is to define what you can continue to do during treatment, to identify the objective milestones that mark return to sport, and to cross each one only at the right moment.
What sets me apart: my Master's at the Université catholique de Louvain is specialised in sports pathologies and manual therapy. Sports injury is not a side topic of my practice — it is the core of my training.
Injuries I treat
Sprains
Ankle, knee, wrist. All grades. Structured return-to-sport protocol.
Tendinopathy
Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff, Tennis/Golfer's elbow. Eccentric loading, progressive return to loading.
Muscle tears
Hamstrings, quadriceps, calf, adductors. Adapted protocol to the grade and the sport.
Shoulder
Instability, subacromial impingement, rotator cuff. Common in swimming, tennis, throwing sports.
Knee
Patellofemoral syndrome, meniscus, ligaments. Running, skiing, team sports.
Post-operative
ACL, meniscus, rotator cuff, Achilles. Protocol adapted to the surgeon and the sport.
Stress fractures
Gradual return to load with biomechanical correction to prevent recurrence.
Athlete's back
Sport-related low back pain, thoracic pain, disc herniation aggravated by physical activity.
How sports rehabilitation works
Sports rehabilitation is not a standard protocol applied to every sprain or tendinopathy. It is built around you: your sport, your level, your timeline, your tolerance for effort.
Sports history and full assessment
History, muscle and joint testing, movement analysis where needed. We identify the injury, but also the factors that caused it — often found elsewhere in the biomechanical chain.
What you can do now
We identify immediately what you can continue: cross-training, upper body, cycling, swimming. Staying active shortens recovery and maintains conditioning.
Progressive loading
Progressive muscle strengthening, proprioceptive work, sport-specific movement reintegration. Each exercise has a precise purpose in the recovery.
Return to sport
Objective criteria for return: strength, stability, functional tests specific to your discipline. No calendar-based return. Only criteria-based return.
