Welcome to Orofacial Physical Therapy Eindhoven

The orofacial physical therapist can help when you are experiencing discomfort in muscles and joints located in the head, neck or jaw system. Also referred to as a “jaw physical therapist”, this term only covers the area of expertise partially. This type of physical therapist specialises through extensive schooling in the areas of posture and movement limitations for the head, neck and jaw system.

About us

Truus Michielsen
My name is Truus Michielsen. I have been a physical therapist for many years specializing in manual therapy and lymphoedema therapy and in 2006 I have added the specialization oral facial therapy to my area of expertise. Through combining these different specializations and the passion I bring to my profession, I have been treating patients with specific complaints in the head, neck and jaw areas for many years. A special area of attention is the treatment of dizziness and headaches in all their different shapes and forms. To provide the best possible service I collaborate with the other physical therapists in my practice, Fysio Michielsen – van Rossem. Complaints in the head and neck area can be complex and elaborate. Therefore, we collaborate with other specialists like dentists, gnathologists, oral and maxillofacial  surgeons, orthodontists, ENT physicians and neurologists.

Laura van den Groenendaal
My name is Laura van den Groenendaal. Besides physical therapist, I am also MSc. in manual therapy and MSc. in orofacial therapist. My main focus is on the variety of complaints in the face, head and neck, such as headaches, mastication and jaw disfunctions and dizziness. Complaints in this specific area can vary and can be complex, which makes working with it extra grateful. The goal is to get in control over your complaints and working with the person behind the complaints is what makes me enjoy our job. 

Since 2020 I’ve been working with great joy at Fysiotherapie Michielsen & van Rossem, where me and my colleagues have a good collaboration and we offer a variety of specializations.
