Where physical therapists learn together

Babette Biemans

Babette Biemans: Mountains, people, cycling, running and food are all part of my weekly routine. After 3,5 years of practical experience as a physiotherapist in a primary care practice, I am currently pursuing the master’s degree Human Movement Sciences which I am doing part-time at the University of Maastricht. When I'm not studying, I like to put all my enthusiasm into developing new ideas that either fail or succeed from time to time. I largely fulfill the latter aspect at Denkfysio and I love it.

At Denkfysio I am mainly responsible for participant contact, which means that every now and then you may receive one of my emails! In addition, I arrange the delicious lunch that you get served during the training, I make sure the speaker has a pleasant overnight stay in Nijmegen and on top of that I do accreditation requests. When I am less occupied arranging things concerning the courses, I keep myself busy with the projects 'tailor made training courses' (check it out!) and 'health'. The latter project is currently not much on the foreground, but I assure you, behind the scenes we are working on it! Think of: prevention, lifestyle, positive health, district and patient-oriented work. Do you have any inspiration for me!? Send me an email: babette@denkfysio.nl.

Youri Derksen

Youri Derksen (intern): I have been working at Denkfysio as the new intern since a few weeks ago. This is part of my full-time Communication studies at the HAN in Nijmegen. During my studies I learn all about organizing events, writing press releases, thinking up plans and making a website. I will perform these activities at Denkfysio as well.

I have been playing soccer for 20 years with R.K.H.V.V. in Huissen but also enjoy sports such as running and swimming. I am confident that I can show my creativity at this young company and my goal is to mean heaps for Denkfysio. In a Tuesday challenge I will introduce myself further, so stay tuned for that! Curious about me or any other questions? Feel free to send me a message at youri@denkfysio.nl

Sanne Kerkers

At Denkfysio I hope to share my interest and enthusiasm for the human body, injuries, sports and physical therapy. And to encourage others to continue to develop, make each other better and together raise the profession of physical therapy to a higher level.

Besides my work at Denkfysio, I work as a sports physical therapist at Sports Medical Center Papendal. I love this combination, partly in the middle of the field, patient contact and practical work, and partly working on the development of our profession where I can go loose with todo lists, writing, thinking and creating.

In my spare time you can find me on the tennis court, at Crossfit Nijmegen, on my mountain bike somewhere in the woods around Nijmegen or with my camera around my neck.

As a physical therapist you never stop learning, we have a profession that is constantly changing, so move along and keep developing yourself. Do you have great ideas or topics to spar about? Send me an email: sanne@denkfysio.nl

Hidde van Dijk

My name is Hidde and i am part of the team of Denkfysio. 

People around me know me as cheerful and enthusiastic, with a practical approach. I always try to approach everyone i interact with, with an open and positive attitude.

I love sports and traveling. For example, i have lived in Uganda and worked there as a physical therapist and as a soccer coach. Before that, i spend many years in top sports as a soccer player at Vitesse. This experience has made me determined and goal-oriented in everything i do. 

I like to keep developing myself, both in sports and in my work as a physical therapist. My goal is to get the best out of myself and inspire others to do the same. This way, together we can improve the care for our patients. 

Do you have any questions or great ideas? Feel free to send me an email: Hidde@denkfysio.nl
