Physiotherapist
Jörgen Puis helps people overcome various injuries, whether these are fears of moving after surgery, neck stiffness behind an office desk or a ‘pulled’ quads injury while playing football. These are just few of the problems that can be solved by Dr Puis.
Jörgen doesn’t think of himself as a scientist or superman; his job title is physiotherapist. However, with his many years of experience and continuous self-development, he also calls himself a good practitioner.
Puis enjoys working together with people. The emphasis is on the word ‘together’ because a great recovery needs good cooperation and consistency with the client. “Together we will build a strong foundation, and consistency makes it even stronger,” Dr Puis promises.
Jörgen’s goal is to find more efficient ways to restore people’s health and quality of life so that they are able to do the things that matter most in their lives without being preoccupied.
Putting the mottos aside, in his free time he likes to play disc golf, go to the gym and read both professional and investment literature.
