FACULTY
This is our team with teaching and support staff
We have a small team of experienced, dedicated and passionate lecturers. The teaching staff contains a true mix of cultures, experience and expertise in order to fulfil our vision to provide a small scale and intensive program in which the “extended family” concept is an important value in our daily work. Our team consists of physiotherapists, human movement scientists, psychologists, medical doctors and manual therapists, from The Netherlands, India, Germany, Italy, Israel and with even more international experience in teaching and research.
