Neeltje Vercruyssen
Neeltje Vercruyssen is a Belgian physiotherapist who holds a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy from Ghent University since 2011. Before moving to the UAE in 2017, Neeltje worked in several hospitals and private practices in Belgium, concentrating on the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions with a strong focus on exercise specific rehabilitation.
In 2013, Neeltje attended the Dr Vodder School International in Belgium where she specialised in manual lymphatic drainage, the best treatment for swelling related issues. Her lymphatic drainage focus is mainly on treating patients diagnosed with breast cancer-related oedema and post plastic surgery.
Qualifying as a Pilates instructor in 2020 Neeltje began utilising Pilates exercises as part of her rehabilitation program, quickly producing noticeable results: patients are more aware of their posture and movement, more in control of their body, becoming stronger and flexible. Neeltje strongly believes that Pilates is a valuable tool within the rehabilitation process as the patient learns about the weakness and imbalances of the body, how to correct and control their posture and movement, as well as obtain greater strength. With the incorporation of Pilates, Neetlje believes it is the perfect practice for acute or chronic injuries and a long-term solution for injury or pain.
