Honestly, I never expected that within 6 weeks with Emile I understood my chronic shoulder injuries and became stronger not only physically but also mentally. I could do things again without having to think about my shoulders. The vibe during the sessions with Emile is so chill that time flies. You realize that there is a big difference in movement and strength after the session compared to when you just arrived. I went to so many physios/chiros before I ended up with Emile, which finally made me believe in myself again. Loved every session and grateful that I got to know him.

Emile the miracle doctor, what a great presentation... the man with the golden hands!!! I had been suffering from shoulder problems for 4 years and within no time I was able to use my shoulder again!!! Thanx great!!

Having already worn out several (sports) physiotherapists, almost giving up hope, I ended up with Emile by googling. What appealed to me about his working method was 'chain thinking'. An injury does not always have to be treated locally. As you delve into the chain and how it moves, you may need to shift your focus to other parts of the body. And that is exactly how Emile worked. Now that I think back to the treatments; he did not touch the spot where the pain occurred. Emile is hands-on. Literally and figuratively. Spicy manual treatments in combination with exercises for home where he assumes you will actually do them. The result of that combination is beyond all expectations. While I had been living with this injury (hamstring) for so long, I improved week after week and was able to 'just' continue to do my running training. I am now virtually pain-free, I can resume sprinting and my confidence is returning. I am extremely grateful to Emile for helping me get back on my feet.

Last summer I struggled with persistent shoulder problems. An injury that had bothered me for over 5 years. You know it; are sent from pillar to post by specialists, who then tell you; “Maybe you should take a break for a few weeks!” The result is a completely immobile shoulder! Through a good friend, who plays baseball at a high level, I came across Emile Kool. There was an instant connection and he started working on my problems in a targeted manner. As a result, I train pain-free again and make weekly progress. Emile listens to your story and uses his extensive knowledge and professional conservative treatment methods to work with you. No more Physio for me!

Through a colleague I ended up at Emile, then still in Almere. I have been coming to Emile Kool from The Recovery Principle for over 5 years. He is the best physiotherapist I have ever met (and I have seen quite a few physiotherapists!). Where I kept coming back to other sessions for a long time without the desired result, Emile knows within the first intake how to use the treatment with the fastest results. He is broadly oriented and deals with all groups in society. Top athletes and also ordinary people like me come to him because he knows his trade. If you are looking for a physiotherapist in Hoofddorp and the surrounding area who REALLY knows his stuff, has a no-nonsense approach and provides quick results, then this is the right place!!!

If you're looking for a fysio who can help guide you to become healthy again, this is your man. Emile from the Recovery Principle has enabled me to be and stay healthy. I very highly recommend that anyone who needs help with injuries gives him a visit.

Through a colleague I came to Emile with a sprained/twisted ankle that had swollen. After treatment 1 or actually during the treatment I felt an improvement. Emile listens to the customer and explains clearly what the treatment plan is and took me through it every week. The goal of being able to do all daily activities pain-free again as quickly as possible was already achieved after 3 treatments. A satisfied customer who highly recommends Emile.

After four years with Emile, I have already been treated for several injuries and usually recovered after a few days. I call him “The man with the golden hands.” There is always a good atmosphere in the practice and he is always happy, which ensures that you also feel like coming to the practice. The communication is TOP. If you are in pain, it is easy to make an appointment immediately and come by.👍🏽👍🏽

Emile is a top physio! His treatment method is very professional and he helped me get rid of my shoulder complaints based on a well-considered plan.

Emile has been my regular physiotherapist for 11 years, as he has always managed to get me ready for important European and World Championships in no time. His treatments are very effective and also informative. Thanks Emile!
