Our osteopath
Meet
Vincent Komen
From physical therapy to the discovery of osteopathy’s true power.

About the osteopath
Il am Vincent Komen, a dedicated osteopath with a passion for the human body and its self-healing ability. During my physiotherapy internship, I encountered osteopathy for the first time. The holistic approach to a client and perspective on health caught my attention. While a physiotherapist usually focuses on the pain area, an osteopath looks at the whole body to find the cause of the complaint. The cause of the complaint can be located elsewhere in the body than where the pain is felt.

Education and career
From physical therapy to experienced osteopath
After completing my physiotherapy studies, I immediately embarked on a new challenge at the International Academy of Osteopathy. During my four years of study, I worked as a physiotherapist and increasingly integrated osteopathy into my practice. Upon earning my osteopathy diploma, I spent five years working in a practice in Amsterdam, gaining extensive experience with clients suffering from neck, back, abdominal, and shoulder complaints, as well as recurring sports injuries.
I further specialized in treating scar tissue, adhesions, and post-abdominal surgery issues, such as after a cesarean section. From September 2021 to March 2023, I attended Frank de Bakker’s course on integrated techniques, where I honed my skills in neurology, pediatric osteopathy, and manual visceral techniques, and gained substantial knowledge in embryology. My specializations for babies include treating preference postures, colic, and reflux issues.

Our philosophy
Where care and welfare meet
At OsteoPlaza, we believe that happiness in life is closely tied to a healthy, pain-free body. Our philosophy is that an optimally functioning physique forms the foundation for a content existence. We see the human body as an integrated system where each part influences the whole. By addressing the underlying causes of physical complaints, we provide temporary relief, sustainable recovery, and improvements in overall health. Every treatment plan at OsteoPlaza is customized to the client’s specific complaints and needs, aiming to enhance both physical health and overall well-being.
At OsteoPlaza, we take great joy in resolving physical complaints; the puzzle that the human body can sometimes be, and the search for the deeper causes of pain and discomfort is what makes osteopathy so fascinating. We find it important not only to identify these causes but also to explain in clear language what happens during treatment. This combination of care, education, and personal involvement makes OsteoPlaza unique.

Approach and treatment
Searches for the deeper
underlying cause
Osteopathy is a treatment method in which I use my hands to restore balance in your body and stimulate your natural healing ability. The goal is to help you move smoothly again and improve your health. During a treatment, I look at your entire body, whether you have complaints in your ankle, back, abdomen, head, or shoulders. I focus not only on the symptoms you feel but also on the underlying causes. By addressing these root causes, I not only solve your current problems but also help prevent future complaints.
