“He explains well the process we are embarking on and what the end goal is. Moreover, Luca’s enthusiasm is very nice for the mental support in this rehabilitation process…”

– Part of a review written on Zorgkaart Nederland

“I have been helped very well by Luca Zijlstra. He carefully monitors you and draws up a plan together with you for a quick, but also good rehabilitation! He knows what is needed for a speedy recovery.”

– Review written on Zorgkaart Nederland

“Very good and professional guidance. I went to several physiotherapists, but no one could figure out what was bothering me, except Luca. Complaints disappeared very quickly with a good training schedule. I came back stronger than I was before my injury.”
