The therapist
Alice de Jong
Osteopath
U herkent een NRO (Nederlands Register Osteopathie) geregistreerde osteopaat aan de merktitel D.O.-MRO.
The way of treating looks beyond the place where the symptoms, as a complaint, manifest themselves. The body functions as one whole, everything is connected. Every complaint tells a story about why the body gives off signals and what it needs to recover. Together we will look for the cause of your complaints and work on optimizing your self-healing capacity, so that your body comes back into balance to recover.
Every treatment is unique, because I adapt techniques and the treatment to who you are and what your body needs at this moment to get in balance. My knowledge and experience from my background as a physiotherapist, craniosacral therapist and edema therapist contribute to a treatment and look from different treatment techniques and visions.
Deeper insight into your complaints, what your body tells you and also how the body works, is very important for recovery. In addition, it is the case that when you understand where the complaints come from and what maintains them, you can actively contribute to recovery yourself.
My goal is not only to tackle the 'puzzle' of your complaints and support the body to get into recovery 'mode'. But also to let you leave with more confidence in and understanding of your own body, with a smile.
At Flow Therapies we work with a team of like-minded professionals who all operate from the same holistic vision. In addition to osteopathy, you can also come to us for various yoga classes and workshops, to support your health in a broader way.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in experiencing confidence and recovery again!

Vision
Flow Therapies stands for the combination of techniques so that your body comes in a healthy 'flow' and this is noticeable. With a background as a physiotherapist and cranio sacral therapist, the osteopathy treatments are also a flow of unique combination of treatment techniques. Art and skill are combined where the body is really listened to. In order to get to the source of the complaints instead of just symptom control.
The holistic view of complaints means that I look at the person in his totality and not just at the place where the complaints manifest themselves. In this way we find and treat the source of the imbalance that caused the complaints in the first place.
With the aim of 'turning on' recovery again and gaining insight into what your body indicates. Insight into the cause, recovery and the wisdom of the body.
The body has a natural self-healing capacity. In osteopathy this is called the 'self-regulating capacity'. This recovery capacity of the body can be limited by various factors. By using the right therapy (stimulus) in the right place, the body will achieve more balance (homeostasis). This is one of the conditions for the body to recover optimally. The nervous system comes to rest and health is 'turned on' again.

Holistic vision
Almost every cell renews itself completely within a certain time. At the cellular level, we are a new person every three months, this is the body's self-healing ability.
In addition, the body is designed in such a way that it can keep itself in balance and regulate itself. As a result of which all processes in the body work together perfectly to keep you optimally in shape.
If the body is out of balance physically, emotionally or due to environmental factors and can no longer compensate, this will sooner or later manifest itself in complaints.
The symptoms that the body give are often felt as more 'little pains', your weak spot or the well-known complaints that come up the surface again and again during periods of stress. These often manifest themselves in a different area than where the cause lies.
As a therapist or (para) medics it is important to look further than where the complaints manifest themselves. When a therapy looks at people not only locally but also globally, this is called a holistic approach.
The combination of regular physiotherapy, Cranio (sacral) therapy and Osteopathy gives me the opportunity to examine and treat the body in its totality. If you would like to learn more details about a specific therapy, please refer to treatments.
The different therapies that I apply are focused on what your body needs at that specific moment in order to move forward.
