My name is Frans van der Weijden, physiotherapist, BSc and sports physiotherapist, MSc. and I run the new competence center for sports physiotherapy in Zug.

Three quarters of the Swiss population say they do sport. Sport contributes to a healthy life and fulfills various human needs. On the other hand, this positive side of sport is overshadowed by injuries and complaints. Overloading and incorrect loading, a lack of flexibility and short recovery periods are some of the factors that contribute to the risk of injury in sport. You know this less pleasant side of sport very well. This is where I come in as a qualified sports physiotherapist, MSc. and would like to support you in the rehabilitation of your/our patients in the future.

What sets me apart
I have the specific know-how and many years of experience in the field of sports physiotherapy. I rely on proven and innovative therapy methods and use state-of-the-art tools. I will build a professional team that combines various disciplines (fitness, massage, performance measurement, nutrition) and can provide patients with targeted support. In addition, I am an enthusiastic sportsperson myself and can therefore understand the needs of patients.

What do I do?
My core activities are: Therapy and rehabilitation after injuries, entry/return to recreational and elite sport (build-up training), improving the performance of the musculoskeletal system, injury prevention as well as performance measurement and movement analysis. Of course, we also support and accompany athletes during injury-free phases.
