PATIENT STORIES
What my clients say about me
“Due to very long hours behind my desk, mostly working on a computer, I experienced regular, painful muscle spasms and joint pain – especially in my neck, shoulders and lower back. During previous physiotherapy sessions, I found the treatments rather painful. So I usually waited until the pain was really bad. After visiting Mieneke Middel for the first time, my perception of physiotherapy changed dramatically. The treatment was given in the most gentle, caring way. I was pleasantly surprised with the tremendous relief from the dry needling therapy that Mieneke used. She also gave me valuable information about the correct posture while working, and even wrote a motivation to my employer, asking them to buy me a specifically shaped typist chair. After our treatment session, Mieneke demonstrated a few simple, yet highly effective stretches to prevent and self-treat muscle spasms. Well Mieneke, your advice is so helpful! Bad for your business, but great for my body! I highly recommend the expert physiotherapy services of Mieneke Middel.”
