Quality

In the professional register, I am listed as having a Master’s Degree in Geriatric Physiotherapy. And I comply with all legal and professional registration requirements. However, I always do far more than is stipulated by these minimum requirements. I am devoted to the profession of physiotherapy, so you can count on my total commitment in the treatment room every time. I bring the same level of commitment to consultations with colleagues, during continuing professional development and at conferences. I still travel nationally and internationally to learn and am always keen to share with fellow professionals what I have learned from you as a patient. I believe these efforts increase the chance that both your health and my professional skills will improve.

Quality standards

My practice meets the requirements for inclusion in the Netherlands Central Physiotherapy Quality Register (Kwaliteitsregister Fysiotherapie NL (KRF NL)). I, Gertrud Pijnenburg, am registered in accordance with the Dutch Individual Healthcare Professions Act (Wet op de Beroepen in de Individuele Gezondheidszorg). I keep up with the latest developments in the field by continuing my education, attending conferences and reading professional literature. I am committed to applying the internationally accepted principles of Evidence Based Medicine and Evidence Based Practice.
