To book an appointment, a referral letter from a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor at UZ Leuven is always required. First, schedule an appointment at the SMAC.
What can you come to us for?
The sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation department at the SMAC specialises in:
- The treatment of sports-specific injuries and post-operative rehabilitation, with the ultimate goal of achieving an optimal return to sport (competitive and elite level).
- Injury prevention, helping athletes avoid (recurring) injuries while engaging in sports.
Treatment process
The sports physiotherapist treats, guides, and advises competitive and elite athletes recovering from sports injuries.
- Each treatment starts with an anamnesis (assessment interview) and a clinical examination. Individual treatment goals are set in consultation with the athlete.
- The treatment follows an active approach, focusing on functional and sports-specific therapy.
- Depending on the individual case, additional techniques may be used (taping, manual therapy, dry needling, myofascial therapy, etc.).
- Home exercise programmes encourage the athlete to actively participate in their rehabilitation process.
