My profile:
My name is Keren Krige and I am originally from South Africa. Since three years, I have been living in the Netherlands with my husband and daughter. My academic background comes from the University of Cape Town, where I completed my training as a physiotherapist. After my studies, I worked in South Africa for three years, where I gained experience in various physiotherapy treatments. During this period, I specialised in treating skeletal-related complaints, as well as a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from muscle and joint problems to rehabilitation after injuries.

Since moving to the Netherlands, I have been working at FRISKFYSIO, where I have been able to further develop my expertise. At FRISKFYSIO, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of patients, treating both preventive and curative physiotherapy. FRISKFYSIO's multidisciplinary approach enables me to guide patients optimally in their recovery process, which motivates me enormously in my daily work.

In addition to my clinical experience, I have developed extensive knowledge in the field of sports physiotherapy, with a focus on improving athletes' endurance and overall physical performance. As sport has always played an important role in my life, I have attended several specialised courses in sports physiotherapy to further expand my expertise. My own experience as a high-level athlete fuelled my passion for physiotherapy and enabled me to put my knowledge of sports injuries and prevention into practice.

What appeals to me most about my work at FRISKFYSIO is the opportunity to support people in their recovery process. It gives me great satisfaction to see how, through targeted and tailored treatments, patients are able to resume their daily activities or sporting achievements. I am convinced that a personal and holistic approach to physiotherapy is the key to achieving optimal results.

In my spare time, I am active in various sports, including running, cycling, hockey, tennis and sailing. I consider sport an essential part of my life and continue to challenge myself both physically and mentally. Besides my professional and sporting pursuits, I value my family and friends. They are the basis of my support and inspiration, and I always try to make time for them, regardless of my busy schedule.
