The Running Collective | Physiotherapist, Kapiti

Fantastic experience: I saw Jeroen in March after breaking my ankle in January. He was such a great help to get me back to playing football in June. Jeroen's knowledge, genuine care and support was fantastic. Jeroen also provided me with a running plan which meant I was able to successfully complete a sub 4 hour marathon in November! I am definitely recommending to everyone for physiotherapy needs and running coaching!

Fantastic experience: Highly knowledgeable and nice. Able to get to the root of the problem easily and give me exercises to go home with as well. F.R

Fantastic experience: Jeroen has been a great help for me with diagnosing my achilles heel injury and building up a return to running. He's very knowledgeable and encouraging, and a very experienced runner himself. Jeroen put together a tailored set of specific exercises for me and checked in with followup appointments for me to build up progressively. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Three sessions with Jeroen got me back out running again pain-free! Great!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Jeroen enough. After seeing multiple physios and trying different approaches for an ongoing issue with my arm, I was almost ready to give up and just live with the chronic pain and not being able to rock climb. I came to Jeroen to see if he could help as he'd already been helpful with a separate issue. IN ONE SESSION, he was able to trace the pain back to my rips!! Unbelievably within one week I was back on the climbing wall almost pain free and so motivated to keep working on it. Jeroen's knowledge of the human body, passion for problem solving and enthusiasm for helping people make him an exceptional physiotherapist. His approach potentially saved me years of frustration!

Fantastic experience: After being a regular runner for 10 years I started suddenly developing knee pain over a month or two until could barely run anymore. I was worried my running days might be coming to an end. Fortunately, I found The Running Collective nearby and booked in an appointment with Jeroen. Over a few sessions we identified a few problems I had developed in my running style and arrived at a few exercises to help correct them. I quickly got back to my regular distance and feel like I'm running better, faster and more comfortably than I have for a long time. Jeroen is friendly, personable and very knowledgeable and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have had numerous visits to other physiotherapists over the years, but when I tore my rotator Cuff, full width tear, I encountered Jeroen, The Running Collective. I will never again, want anyone but him to assist in my recovery for any reason. He explained how my shoulder worked, provided me with exercises, gradually changing them as I gained some strength. Every step of the way he encouraged me, listened to me, Listening can be a huge issue with some professionals, giving instructions without explaining the why. In under 12 months, I have strengthened my other shoulder muscles to compensate for the lack of the Rotator Cuff and I am now ready to greet the world. I cannot thank you enough, Jeroen

Fantastic experience: Jeroen is a passionate runner and really got to the heart of my issues super quickly. I'm looking forward to many more years of quality running now, something I wasn't at all confident about!

Fantastic experience: I visited the running collective with a niggly injury and found jereon to be super knowledgeable and helpful. He was extremely professional and patient in working out what was causing my injury and answered all my questions. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen is a wonderful physiotherapist. He ensures he explores the root of the issue to make sure you make a full recovery. Assisted me immensely with my injury and I was able to complete my half marathon without any pain. Recommend him highly. Thanks mate.

Fantastic experience: Great treatment fixed issues

Fantastic experience: Great Physio, helped me work through some knee issues and left me with video content & exercises I can refer back to if problems arise in the future. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen took the time to find out which muscles were working and which not. His rehab plan was explained clearly along with the reasoning behind it.

Fantastic experience: Best physio I have ever seen !! Highly recommend he is second to none. I was so impressed by his assessment, explanations and my homework. Will definitely see him again, he is such a smart cookie love his work and I wouldn't be as far in my ankle recovery as I am without Jeroen

Negative experience: Very unethical and unprofessional. Will not be returning or recommending.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen is awesome to deal with. He has an in-depth knowledge of the muscles, ligaments and tendons, tailors exercises and treatment to work the problem area. Results were quicker than I expected, so a big plus there. Jeroen didn't push pain relief on me either, which was refreshing. Would recommend, 5 stars. Thanks

Fantastic experience: I have seen Jeroen intermittently over a few years now, he has helped with a variety of issues and is incredibly intuitive and knowledgeable with finding the sources of pain. He has given me fantastic information when training for a half marathon, and helped me recover really quickly from post-partum back pain, allowing me to return to my regular life of gym/soccer/nursing/running/being a fun parent. His care is impactful and thorough, I am really grateful and highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Jeroen to help me with a muscle injury affecting the knee. In every session he went above and beyond to come up with exercises to help first with the recovery of motion range of the knee and then to strengthen the muscle as well as helping with the incurred nerve damage. Without his help my recovery would have taken a lot longer than it already had and I am also not sure that I would have achieved the quality of healing on my own. I have found him to be very passionate and knowledgeable about his work. The videos of the exercises are a great help to remember how to do them afterwards at home!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Jeroen after dealing with ongoing knee pain for several weeks. Jeroen completed a thorough assessment and identified some weak spots elsewhere in my legs that were actually the cause. Within a week of seeing him and completing the exercises he showed me, I was free of pain while exercising. I throughly recommend Jeroen and will definitely be back should I do myself a mischief in the future.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen at The Running Collective has helped me immensely in getting back into my active lifestyle. I’ve never experienced a physio so thorough before. A lovely guy also, makes the experience 10/10

Fantastic experience: I happily recommend. I'm so thankful that I was referred to Jeroen. My jaw pain is significantly better now, and I have the tools to aid me in the future. Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: This guy really knows his stuff. Knows every exercise to give me for the pain area and keeps updating me every session with new ones to target different areas of recovery. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great physiotherapist, hard to find these days! I found Jeroen to be a great professional with great knowledge on his field. Thorough assessment of the injury and body functionality. Definitely recomend.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen was methodical and relentless in finding the cause of my problems whilst also supporting my mental wellbeing throughout my appointments with him. He has helped me greatly and I highly recommend the running collective and Jeroen.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen was great, he was extremely thorough and made sure he got to the bottom of the issue. He provided really good advice around nutrition and exercises to help with my injury. I highly recommend Jeroen as a physiotherapist and will be using him for any future injuries.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Physio. Thank you Jeroen! Outstanding service, support and knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen was amazing and really works to get the bottom of the injury or reason for the visit. He is a physio that really understands his craft and he is invested in getting you right. He goes above and beyond with exercises, videos, and is so easy to deal with. I normally don't bother with Physio's but I wouldn't hesitate to use Jeroen outside of an injury and my body feels the best it has felt in years. High recommended!

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I went to see Jeroen after aggravating an old ankle injury. In addition to solving the pain in my ankle, he explained that the original injury had thrown out a bunch of other parts and gave me simple exercises that quickly remedied these problems. I've gotten back into tramping and running much quicker than I expected. Thank you so much Jeroen!

Fantastic experience: I started going to Jeroen after I picked up an injury whilst running. With Jeroen being a runner also, he help me understand my injury and his in-depth knowledge of NeuroKinetic Therapy got me doing recovery exercises that aligned and strengthen my weak spots. Jeroen also did not try and rush me back giving my body time to heal. Highly recommend Jeroen for anybody looking to sort out injury and pain. He is also a very good runner

Fantastic experience: We would have not known how to help our son without your assistance! Two visits to the medical centre and you're the only one that could pick up what's the problem. Thanks so much for your guidance and for helping him heal!

Fantastic experience: Jeroen is absolutely brilliant. I had ongoing issues with spraining my ankle since having it reconstructed a few years ago. Jeroen quickly identified that there were issues further up my leg and gave me exercises to improve how I used my leg when walking. I now am able to confidently go tramping and exercise without being nervous about spraining my ankle (again!). I just wish I'd been working with him earlier!

Fantastic experience: I am so glad to have Jeroen as my physiotherapist for scoliosis. I really like his style of looking at the whole picture, not just focusing on my back. He fixes the root of the issue and helped me from head to toe. With his approach, the frequency of my back flaring up was significantly reduced over the sessions. He also took my lifestyle and work envious into consideration, and gave tailored advice. I would definitely recommend this friendly and knowledgeable physio to anybody that’s in need to see one!

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Jeroen and his services to anyone. He takes a holistic approach which is great because injuries might be because of something that you might not realize.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen, you supported me all the way from post injury, pre surgery and post surgery and beyond. You taught me how to walk again and did so much more than that too. Not only did you really help me understand the injury and how to support recovery, but you checked in with me and supported my attitude (adjustments) toward my healing journey. This made a huge difference to me and helped me through a really tough time. I 100% recommend you as an incredible physio, and a great person too. Thanks Jeroen

Fantastic experience: I feel very lucky that Jereon was recommended to me. I am so grateful for his help and holistic treatment which has made a big improvement with the pain and discomfort I was experiencing. Additionally he has provided me with the techniques and understanding how to maintain those gains. To say he has greatly improved my quality of life is no understatement. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Jeroen was so great to work with for my rehab after surgery. He took time to assess my goals, and was flexible with the ups and downs of my recovery. I am now fully recovered thanks to Jeroen!

Fantastic experience: Jeroen is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about running! He’s made my mind up to get back on the pavement after surgery. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Jeroen. He helped me recover from a frustrating elbow injury through a wide range of exercises. If you need help with running long distances and nutrition, he's your man too!

Fantastic experience: Jeroen has been a fantastic physio for me. He was quickly able to diagnose my shoulder issues and give me exercises which remedied the issue. He has also helped me with my running by isolating various weaknesses and focussing on improving them. I highly recommend Jeroen.

Fantastic experience: Jeroen is a very good physio who has helped me overcome an injury I had sustained by strengthening muscles around the knee. We also looked at how balanced I was when undertaking general tasks and particularly when I was engaging in building my running with walking distance. Jeroen was able to explain why doing certain exercises would be beneficial to me. And, the exercises themselves to be "on the button' for activating certain muscles.

Fantastic experience: 7 months ago I went running occasionally, but could never run for longer than an hour or 7 to 8 km at a time. In October, Jeroen motivated me to participate in 4 parcruns in New Zealand and showed me what to pay attention to when running and how to avoid injuries. Since December I follow the running plan that he made for me, with the goal to complete my first 15 km run at the end of March. I’m so motivated that I haven’t missed any training sessions yet and I’m excited to plan the training of my first half marathon this summer. Thank you for the valuable tips and the great support.
