Florentien qualified as a chiropractor after completing a 5 year Masters degree in Chiropractic with Merit at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic. She has taken Professional Development training in Chiropractic Paediatrics and is taking the Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioners Program to specialise in treating peripheral joint problems.

She last worked in Bournemouth where she enjoyed seeing people from a variety of ages including babies and the elderly. This is also where she developed a keen interest in treating sports injuries and enhancing sports performance, working with long distance runners, weight trainers and semi-professional football players.

 By taking a holistic approach, Florentien aims to remove the cause of the problem rather than just the symptoms, in order to reduce the risk of recurrence and get the patient in control of his/her problem.

She uses a variety of techniques to treat conditions affecting joints, muscles, ligaments and the nervous system, as well as the effects of these on general health.

 Her main treatment techniques include spinal and peripheral joint manipulation and mobilisation, massage, trigger point therapy, stretching, flexion distraction, blocking and rehabilitation for improving posture and reducing joint and muscular imbalances.

 Treatment techniques for infants and children include very gentle spinal mobilisation and massage.

 As a teenager, Florentien was introduced to chiropractic by her older brother, also a chiropractor, who treated her successfully for a knee injury, and who sparked her enthusiasm for studying chiropractic.  

 Florentien is originally from Belgium and came to England to study chiropractic. It is at the Chiropractic College that Florentien met her partner who kept her in England!

Besides chiropractic, she enjoys exercise such as running, tennis and skiing. Also, she fills her free time having dinner parties with family and friends and playing the violin and piano.
