Bart Rouhof — Physiotherapist, Manual Therapist & Sonographer

My name is Bart Rouhof. I am the co-owner of FysioMoov and have been working as a physiotherapist since 2013, specializing as a manual therapist. Since 2017, I have added a specific expertise to my practice: ultrasonography.

Why ultrasonography? Because I do not believe in treating symptoms alone. I want to know what is truly going on. An ultrasound provides direct and reliable insight into what is happening inside your joint, tendon, or muscle — without detours or guesswork.

This insight is the starting point for a treatment plan that truly works. Not a one-size-fits-all approach, but a targeted solution tailored to your symptoms and situation.

Specialist in tendon complaints

My particular interest and expertise lie in tendon complaints — one of the most persistent and underestimated conditions of the musculoskeletal system. Chronic tendon pain often does not respond to standard treatment because the cause lies deeper than the pain itself. Using ultrasonography, I accurately visualize the condition of the tendon, after which we begin targeted treatment.

I offer three proven methods for the treatment of tendon complaints:

• Exercise therapy — focused on stabilization and strength around the affected tendon. The foundation of any sustainable recovery and scientifically the most proven approach for tendon complaints.
• Shockwave therapy — stimulates blood circulation and the tendon’s self-healing capacity through targeted sound waves.
• EPTE — Percutaneous Electrolysis Therapy, a minimally invasive technique where a very weak electric current is delivered directly into the affected tendon via a small needle. EPTE is rapidly emerging as an effective treatment for chronic tendon complaints and is preferably combined with targeted exercise therapy for stabilization and strength.

Osteoarthritis of the knee and hip — movement as medicine

In addition to tendon complaints, FysioMoov offers a specially developed program for people with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. Because with osteoarthritis, too, the right movement is one of the most powerful treatments available.

Our osteoarthritis program consists of:

• Tailored exercise program — specifically developed for knee and hip osteoarthritis, focusing on muscle strength, stability, and symptom reduction.
• Lifestyle advice — personal guidance regarding movement, nutrition, and daily habits. Because what you do outside the treatment room largely determines how you feel.

Working closely together for the best results

Within Joint Care Clinics, I work closely with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Pieter Klitsie. Together, we perform ultrasound-guided injections — he as the treating physician, and I as the sonographer. This combination is unique: the ultrasound ensures that the injection is placed with millimeter precision in the correct location, significantly increasing the effectiveness of the treatment.

In this way, injection treatment and physiotherapeutic guidance form one cohesive trajectory — for you as a patient, it feels like one team fully focused on your recovery, from diagnosis to rehabilitation.
