Robert Arkesteijn

Arkesteijn – who was always passionate about sport, exercise and health - studied Physiotherapy in Amsterdam after completing the CIOS in Arnhem. He founded FysioCity, a collective of ten physiotherapists that works from early in the morning until late in the evening. Arkesteijn keeps himself fit with training sessions in the gym, and of course cycling through the city every day. “Wherever I go, I see things through the eyes of a physiotherapist. Sometimes I have to restrain myself - it’s tempting to give people a quick piece of advice. I admit that I suffer from professional deformation in that sense. It’s a delicate balance, the difference between waking up in pain and waking up fit is often a small detail.”
