Online consults can be an effective method for runners who have an injury but are unable to come to our practice. With our years of knowledge of running injuries, we are able to provide sound and tailor-made advice remotely.
For whom is an online consultation ideal?
- The injured runner who does not live close to our practice. This can be a runner from the Netherlands or from another country.
- Runners with a full agenda that have no possibility to come by the practice due to lack of time.
- Runners who have been treated by us and need extra advice that does not require physical treatment.

What can we not do during an online consultation?
There are a number of elements of a consultation in practice that we cannot do during an online consultation.
The manual (hands-on) treatment is not possible during an online consultation. In most cases this is not a limitation for a successful consultation.
If a manual treatment is required, we can advise you to go to a local therapist.
Does my insurer reimburse an online consultation?
