I'm a physical trainer and also an athlete so I push sometimes my body to the limits… I can have random pains that appear and stay for a while. As a latin American I didn't know about osteopathy before moving to Belgium in 2019, but "lucky me" destiny put me just beside Osteopathy Tervuren. I started to go with Tina because of a pain in my shoulder that I had for ages and after a couple of sessions I couldn't believe that my pain went away after so many years. Now I go every few months just to make sure that my body is in his maximum capacity of recovery and healing by itself whenever he needs it. She's so gentle and transmit a peaceful vibes that I feel it's a reset of my body and my mind.

This is how osteopathy should be: holistic. He looks beyond the spot where it's stuck or hurts. How are you doing? Do you drink enough water? Do you sleep well? Stress? Every treatment is different, but each time it feels like a warm blanket. Sometimes there's 'cracking', sometimes not. The physio once sent me to the osteopath, frustrated, because she couldn't help me with my tailbone.
I regularly return to this warm 'family', whether it's acute or 'for maintenance'. Chris has golden hands!
I have now enjoyed three treatments with Hilde, and each time the impact of a single session amazes me again. Her method works particularly well for me: although some points can be sensitive, I experience the sessions as soothing and relaxing.
My physical complaints have noticeably improved, and my nervous system settles during and after the treatment. I owe that to her skill and to her attentive presence. As a highly sensitive person, that is a real added value: calm, focus, and no phone going off in between.
Hilde is warm and engaged. She looks beyond the complaint and shares valuable advice for home. She made me aware of my hyperventilation and gave practical tips, with which I already notice a clear improvement.
I go to every appointment with confidence and leave with more comfort, relaxation, and insight than I came in with. I therefore wholeheartedly recommend Hilde.
With a worn-out football knee and 50.000 km a year on the road for work, I struggled for years. Infiltrations, physio, pills, I've had it all, nothing helped. Until a friend sent me to Chris. A 'cracker', what's he going to do about my pain, I thought. But in the days after the first session the pain ebbed away, I walked better, slept better. I'm not completely rid of it, sometimes I overdo it with long drives. But then no pills, I just book a slot 'maintenance' at Chris and a few days later I can go wild again.

I visited the osteopathy clinic in Tervuren for two issues: a blocked neck and pain in my cheeks caused by teeth grinding. I was treated by Corentin Meese, who was very gentle and took the time to clearly explain each step of the treatment before proceeding.
My neck pain was relieved immediately after the session, while the cheek pain required a few additional visits, as my dentist had previously explained might be necessary. Corentin also provided me with helpful exercises and practical advice to improve my posture at work and help prevent recurring neck pain.
Overall, I had a very positive experience and would gladly recommend him.

Sport matters a lot to me. During a session at the golf driving range, I hurt my right wrist. For me that was a real setback, since it stopped me from playing tennis and piano. The doctor prescribed X-rays and physio. But the physio sessions brought no improvement, if anything the opposite. I had an almost chronic tendinitis. After two months of no progress, I decided to go see Yvan in Tervuren.
He released something in my wrist, and that kicked off my recovery. For me, a real game changer. Now I'm playing tennis, golf and piano again. I do have to stay careful and not overload my wrist, since it stays fragile under intense effort. Tendinitis is slow to heal, especially as I use my right wrist all the time. Thank you Yvan for your 4 osteopathy sessions, which started my recovery.
I had problems with my neck, knee, hip and back (stiffness and pain when moving). Previously I had already had a meniscus operation, a hip infiltration and medication for my back and numb feet... all with limited success.
For 15 years now I've been coming to your osteopathy practice (on my GP's recommendation) and I notice very clear improvement. The first years I came every 2 to 3 weeks; now every 6 to 8 weeks. I'm treated by Tina and Chris. At every session they ask how I'm doing, examine the whole body and always find exactly the painful spots.
Thanks to the treatments I no longer have numb feet, my hip and neck complaints have reduced considerably, and the arthritis, knees and lumbar stenosis have all improved greatly. I'm extremely happy with the approach, the results and the friendly service.

As a busy doctor with growing children, a good work-life balance isn't always obvious, and for me that sometimes shows up as physical overload. I have already visited Osteopathiepraktijk Tervuren several times, among others with Tina Wissmann, Jacqui Almond, and Vincent Gouwy, and I always feel in safe, professional hands.
The team is clearly well trained: they examine thoroughly, quickly find the cause, and usually estimate right away how many sessions are needed. Often I feel improvement after the very first treatment. Recently I had trouble with my shoulder, but the osteopath also noticed tension in my jaw joint, which was then treated in the same session.
As a doctor, I also often see complaints in my own practice that benefit from an integrated approach, and I am convinced that good cooperation between care providers offers a lot of preventive value.
The team is also very caring toward their patients. I am extremely satisfied and therefore wholeheartedly recommend Osteopathiepraktijk Tervuren.
