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.
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.

Manual therapy is a specialization within physiotherapy. This therapy goes one step further than physiotherapy in complaint analysis and treatment.
Persons who engage in intensive sports can also come to a manual therapist for advice on movement to prevent sports injuries or for efficient treatment of their sport injury.
How does it work?
Each manual therapeutic treatment is preceded by a screening and interview with a subsequent elaborate physical examination.
Special competency
