The Physio is led by Senior Physiotherapist, Pieter Van Der Kooij. It is Pieter’s passion for delivering superior musculoskeletal care and his strong biomechanical background that saw the conception of The Physio in 2018. Pieter’s vision is to see Toowoomba optimise their health and realise their full potential at work, in sports and in their home environments.
True to his hard-working and inquisitive nature, Pieter holds degrees in both Physiotherapy and Podiatry, alongside being a qualified Pilates instructor. When combined with over a decade of experience in both hospital and private practice settings, he is a true expert in the field and is a wealth of knowledge for both his patients and team members.
As well as being an advocate for a balanced lifestyle, Pieter is also involved in cricket, running, gym, tennis and slacklining. He has also been through multiple serious injuries from collapsing his lung and requiring surgery to car accidents and from this offers invaluable first-hand experience to recovery.
