Alter Physio Amsterdam physiotherapy and acupuncture
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

Heal the root.
Not just
the pain.

Physiotherapy and acupuncture in Amsterdam.
Western precision. Eastern depth. One practice.

How It Works
SCROLL

Further than the symptom.


01

Grounded in science.

Every decision draws from current clinical evidence. Nothing more, nothing less.


02

Nothing in isolation.

Pain points elsewhere. We follow it — tracing tension, movement, and stress back to their origin.


03

Built to hold.

Not a temporary fix. A change that remains when the sessions end.

Two paths.
One body.

Begin where it makes sense. Both disciplines are available — separately, or together.

PHYSIOTHERAPY

For what hurts
when you move.

  • Acute and chronic pain
  • Sports injuries & rehab
  • Restricted movement
  • Athletic performance
ACUPUNCTURE

For what lingers
beneath the surface.

  • Stress & nervous system
  • Sleep and fatigue
  • Internal imbalance
  • Chronic tension

What happens
when you arrive.

01

Listen & assess.

Your history, your pattern, your concern — understood in full before treatment begins.

02

See the wider picture.

Beyond the painful area. We trace the source — through movement, tension, and context.

03

Treat with precision.

Physiotherapy, acupuncture, or both — selected for what your body needs that day.

04

Leave with clarity.

What we found, what we did, and what comes next. No ambiguity.

What we do.

“The body keeps score.
We help it settle.”

Who you will see.

Three specialisms — available together when needed.

Results that
speak plainly.

Hide kijkt op een andere manier als normale fysiotherapeuten. Hij zoekt naar de oorzaak van je klacht in plaats van alleen de symptomen te behandelen. Ik ben super tevreden en zou Hide zeker aanbevelen!

★★★★★
I had been struggling with persistent heaviness and pain around my ankle for a long time. Instead of just focusing on the painful area, the treatment took a whole-body approach, addressing balance and connections throughout my body.

Na maanden van rugpijn en een armblessure door Padel, bezocht ik Hide's praktijk. De professionele, vriendelijke sfeer viel direct op. Na enkele sessies was de pijn volledig verdwenen.
