Klaas is a Physiotherapist and Orthopaedic Manual Therapist. After graduating with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands in 1999, Klaas started working as a Physiotherapist in a private practice in Amsterdam. In order to develop a more evidence-based background Klaas went on studying on the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, to graduate as a Master of Science in Physiotherapy in 2002. In the mean time he had started his own private Physiotherapy practice in Amsterdam in 2000. Driven by the ambition to have expert skills in treating musculoskeletal patients, Klaas started studying Orthopaedic Manual Therapy in 2002, following the Nordic system of Kaltenborn and Evjenth. He successfully completed this specialisation in 2007.
As an Orthopaedic Manual Therapist Klaas has a particular interest in diagnosing and treating spinal problems and he is also keen to treat sports injuries, as he has extensive experience at the highest levels of sports, treating many Olympic medallists. Klaas has been working on an international level for 8 years with Olympic Athletes as Physiotherapist for the Dutch Volleyball Team, the Dutch Rowing Team and on a national level with the Amsterdam Basketball Team, Ricoh Astronauts.
In 2008 Klaas decided to continue his Physio career in Australia. Klaas has been in the Gladstone region since April 2009 and loves to live and work in this area, close to the beautiful Great Barrier Reef.
In recent years Klaas has done many courses to keep his clinical level high, dry needling being one of them. Klaas is also a clinical instructor for students from the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Griffith University, Australia.
