Profile:
My name is Dustin van der Sluis, I am from Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and have recently moved to Amstelveen. Since the beginning of September 2024, I started my senior internship at FRISKFYSIO. This internship is an important step in my development as a future physiotherapist. I have always been passionate about sport and exercise, and as I became more active in different sports myself, I started to get more interested in how the human body works and recovers. This eventually led to the decision to study physiotherapy at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam.
Physiotherapy combines my interest in movement with my passion to help people recover and improve their quality of life. Helping people overcome physical limitations so that they can move again pain-free and confidently is incredibly valuable to me. For me, every case is a challenge and an opportunity to learn. I find it fascinating to analyse exactly what is going on with a client and together arrive at the best solution.
What motivates me most is the moment when I see someone getting stronger, feeling better and reaching their goals. The feeling that I can have a positive impact on the recovery of others through my knowledge and commitment gives me great satisfaction. The idea that I can help people function optimally again in their daily lives is what drives me to keep developing myself as a physiotherapist.
Besides my sporting pursuits, in which I am actively involved in strength training, running and other physical activities myself, I try to inspire others to pursue a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy helping people improve their physical health and adopt healthier habits so that they feel fitter and more energetic. This fits perfectly with my vision as a physiotherapist: it is not only important to treat people when they are in pain, but also to work preventively to promote their health and vitality.
At FRISKFYSIO, I get the opportunity to put my knowledge and enthusiasm for the profession into practice. I work with a team of experienced therapists who help me develop my skills and expand my insights. I am convinced that this internship will make an important contribution to my education and my further career as a physiotherapist.
I look forward to meeting you in practice at FRISKFYSIO and working together on your recovery and health!
