Sports physiotherapist in Molenbeek
Sprain, muscle tear, tendinitis or cruciate ligaments: we support you from day one of the injury until you are back on the pitch.
Sports rehabilitation is physiotherapy specialised in sports injuries. It combines treating the injury, progressive strengthening and return-to-sport testing, so you get back to sport safely and limit the risk of re-injury. Ali Assbane, sports physiotherapist, works with recreational and competitive athletes in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels.

Getting back to sport, and staying there
We start with your sport, your level and your goal: a match, a race, a season. The assessment looks at the injury, but also at strength, mobility and the movements your sport demands.
The programme moves in stages: easing pain, restoring mobility, rebuilding strength, then training speed, changes of direction and sport-specific movements. Before you return, objective tests help us choose the right moment together.

Your questions about sports rehabilitation
Do I have to stop sport completely?
Rarely. We adapt your activity so you stay active without making the injury worse.
How long does rehabilitation take?
A few weeks for a mild sprain, several months after cruciate ligament surgery. After the assessment we set a realistic timeline.
Do you work with clubs?
We are open to working with local clubs: injury prevention, follow-up of injured players and advice for coaches. Call Ali to discuss it.
Do I need a prescription?
For reimbursement by your health insurance fund, yes. Ask your doctor or sports doctor for a physiotherapy prescription.
