so that they feel better.
QUALIFICATIONS
Introduction
I am a qualified Massage Therapist and have a degree as a Manueel Praktizijn®, consisting of Shiatsu Ryoho, Classic Massage, Segmental Therapy, Feet Reflex and Chair Shiatsu (Chair Massage). Besides that I followed many different courses in the field. I am also a certified Physiotherapist (non-practising). Although I have worked for many years as a Physiotherapist, I work in Portugal only as a Massage Therapist. I obviously still have the knowledge and the experience as a Physiotherapist.
I have worked as a Massage Therapist in a health and wellness resort where people came to relax in the spa but where also people came with physical complaints. For 9 years I had my own practice, first for massage then also for physiotherapy. I also worked as a physiotherapist in various physiotherapy practices for several years. I can help you with neck and shoulder pain, back pain, arm and leg pains, as well as headaches, stress and burnout. You are also welcome for just a relaxation massage.
Due to my emigration to Portugal, my practice in The Netherlands ceased. When the practice ended, it had a patient satisfaction score of 9.4.
My methods
Shiatsu Ryoho
It is a manual therapy, using the fingers, thumbs and palms to apply pressure to the body.
Shiatsu is about balance.
Shiatsu restores energy and balances it. This makes you more balanced.
Areas that can be massaged include for instance neck, back, arms, legs and head.
Chair Shiatsu
In chair shiatsu / chair massage, you sit on a special massage chair.
A pressure point massage will lower your stress levels.
It also has an invigorating effect.
Areas that can be massaged include for instance neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands and head.
Classic Massage
This is a therapeutic massage in which the muscles are loosened up so that blood circulation is improved and waste products can be disposed of better.
This massage also has a relaxing effect and lets you unwind like a relaxation massage.
Areas that can be massaged include for instance neck, shoulders, back, legs and head.
Foot Reflex
This is an experiential therapy.
Foot reflexology can give good results. Even when other therapies have been unsuccessful.
Areas that can be massaged include feet and lower legs.
Liesbeth
(reaction to physiotherapy)
'Due to a move, I had to look for a new physiotherapist. I heard about Gaby through a friend who was also undergoing treatment with her. Because of my medical history, I had already seen quite a few physiotherapists. And that made me quite critical.
But I really like Gaby. She is patient and radiates calmness, which makes you feel at ease very quickly.
She is also very professional and knows exactly what she is doing. She immerses herself in your problem or clinical picture.
She knows exactly where to find my problem muscles. In short, a very professional and good physiotherapist'.
Aly
'Surrounded by beautiful artwork, I had a lovely, relaxing and expert neck and shoulder massage from Gaby. Highly recommended and I will definitely come back'.
Marianne
'Through the massage and treatment of trigger points, my pain symptoms in neck, shoulders and lower back fortunately diminished quite quickly.
I found the treatment very professional and also very pleasant. After the treatment I always felt relaxed and better in my own skin. Gaby took her time to get a good picture of the complaints and possible causes. She listened well and also paid attention to the person behind the complaints. That did really good. Thanks for that!'.
Happy clients
