Physiotherapy and acupuncture in Amsterdam.
Western precision. Eastern depth. One practice.
Every decision draws from current clinical evidence. Nothing more, nothing less.
Pain points elsewhere. We follow it — tracing tension, movement, and stress back to their origin.
Not a temporary fix. A change that remains when the sessions end.
Begin where it makes sense. Both disciplines are available — separately, or together.
For what hurts when you move.
With Hide Kuwabara
For what lingers beneath the surface.
With Haruki Sakai or Soichiro Funo
Your history, your pattern, your concern — understood in full before treatment begins.
Beyond the painful area. We trace the source — through movement, tension, and context.
Physiotherapy, acupuncture, or both — selected for what your body needs that day.
What we found, what we did, and what comes next. No ambiguity.
In partnership with The Recover Factory — specialized muscle recovery available alongside your treatment at Alter Physio.
"The body keeps score.
We help it settle."
Movement. Internal medicine. Clinical precision.
Three specialisms — available together when needed.

Meet Soichiro →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. Not only did I experience immediate relief, but I was also given clear guidance on exercises to manage any future pain.

Na maanden van rugpijn en een armblessure door Padel, bezocht ik Hide's praktijk. De professionele, vriendelijke sfeer viel direct op. Hide analyseerde mijn klachten grondig en stelde een op maat gemaakte behandeling voor. Na enkele sessies was de pijn volledig verdwenen.
