Welcome to the website of practice for Physiotherapy and Manual Therapy in Melsbroek.

My name is Sofie Lagrin and I am an experienced, motivated and ambitious therapist. Still associated to the academic world (Practice Assistant of the Manual Therapy program, Free University of Brussels).
You may be confident that your treatment is based on the most recent scientific developments within the discipline.

We strive for a focused approach with regard to improving your complaints in agreement with you, the patient, and in close cooperation with your medical practitioner.

 

COVID-19 MEASURES:

  • Stay home when you feel sick, have a fever, cough, or sneeze.
  • Stay home if you had contact with someone who was ill during the past two weeks.

We, therapists, will

  • wear a face mask;
  • disinfect our hands before and after each treatment and wash our hands regularly;
  • disinfect and clean the surfaces after each treatment, who may have been in contact with body fluids;
  • aerate the practice as much as possible.

You, as a patient

  • are recommended to wear a face mask (fabric or if possible a surgical face mask) to prevent asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19 between patient and therapist.
  • will come alone and enter the practice just a few minutes before your appointment. If you are too early, please wait outside (for example in your vehicle).

About Sofie

In 2006 I started my studies for Physiotherapy and in June 2011 I successfully completed my Master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy, majoring in Manual Therapy at the Free University of Brussels (VUB). I went on to obtain my Advanced Master of Science in Manual Therapy also at the Free University of Brussels (VUB). During my training, some of my courses were given by Bart Van Keymolen, where I have done my internship. Later on, since August 2011, I started working as a therapist in his Manual Therapy practice in Steenokkerzeel for five and a half year.
