Physiotherapy for international students in Groningen
Affordable, supervised physiotherapy in English, by physiotherapy students of Hanze University of Applied Sciences.
Physiotherapy for international students
The Dutch healthcare system can be confusing when you are new to the country. Our student-run clinic offers international students easy access to physiotherapy at a price that fits a student budget. A place where you do not need a Dutch insurance.
Are you experiencing muscle or joint pain, movement restriction, or limitations? Do you have ongoing problems for years, or perhaps acute problems? Are you recovering from an injury? Do you have neck or back complaints? — We can help you! You are welcome to book an appointment. We take the time to understand your complaint, give a clear explanation of what is going on, and make a treatment plan together with you.
Please note: Student Physio Groningen is a student learning clinic, not a regular physiotherapy practice. Treatment is given by physiotherapy students as part of their education, under the supervision of qualified physiotherapists. We offer physiotherapeutic care, with a maximum of three appointments. This does not replace regular physiotherapy or medical care. If your complaint needs more than 3 sessions, we will refer you to appropriate care.
We work together with two partners: Expertisecentrum Fysiotherapie, which provides our treatment rooms, and Hanze University of Applied Sciences.

How it works
Check
A supervisor checks with you whether our learning clinic suits your complaint, or whether regular physiotherapy is a better fit.
Assessment
A student examines your complaint, with a physiotherapist present and a teacher observing.
Advice and exercises
We explain what is going on and give you advice and exercises you can continue yourself.
Up to 3 sessions
A maximum of three appointments. Need more? We help you find a regular physiotherapist.

A mix of students, physiotherapists and teachers
Treatment is given by first- and second-year international physiotherapy students of Hanze University of Applied Sciences.
A qualified physiotherapist is always present in the clinic and observes the sessions. Students learn to explain each step of the physiotherapeutic process, so you will always know the reason behind what we do.
