Sascha van Zweden

My name is Sascha van Zweden, mother of two adventurous and happy boys, Joep (2012) and Tijl (2014). I am creative, have an eye for detail, sporty, love skiing, travelling and much more. In short, I am active, versatile and interested in a lot. I’m always looking to develop myself.

In 2005 I completed my physiotherapy training and almost immediately started to specialise as a children’s physiotherapist (professional master’s degree in Utrecht 2010). Since then I have enjoyed working as a child physiotherapist and I have gained broad experience related to gross or fine motor development, sensory information issues, ASD, HB or ADHD, writing challenges, infants, (pre)adolescents with scoliosis or children with developmental problems due to a congenital disorder/syndrome, including Down syndrome. I have specialized in Sensory Information issues, (SI therapist). In addition, I have completed additional training in Schroth therapy (scoliosis-oriented therapy) and I am a certified Schroth therapist (2021). I am a certified baby wearing consultant and can help parents find and use the right baby wearing method for carrying infants and young children.

Every child is different and needs a different approach. That’s what makes my job so much fun! The central question I ask the parent(s) and, where possible, the child to ensure the right approach for them: what are the problems and wishes with regards to the development of the child? I will involve parents and if necessary others, such as teachers, in the treatment process, in order to work together for the best solutions and results.
