Osteopathy in Hilversum

Many symptoms keep coming back or seem unexplained.
As an osteopath, I look for the underlying cause behind your complaints.
By treating the whole body, I help it regain the space and balance it needs to recover.

  • Digestive & Abdominal Issues
  • Breathing & Shortness of Breath
  • Stress & Fatigue
  • Muscles & Joints

Digestive & Abdominal Issues

Do you often experience bloating, cramps, or irregular digestion? These symptoms can result from stress, scar tissue, or limited organ mobility. Osteopathy focuses on releasing tension and improving movement in the abdominal area — helping your digestion function properly again and restoring overall balance.

Breathing & Shortness of Breath

Shallow breathing or pressure on the chest often means your diaphragm isn’t moving freely. Stress, posture, or abdominal tension can all play a role. Through gentle manual techniques, I restore space and balance in your breathing system — helping you breathe deeper, calmer, and with less effort.

Stress & Fatigue

Chronic stress affects your nervous system, digestion, and breathing patterns. This can lead to fatigue, tension, or restlessness. Osteopathy helps your body switch from survival mode to recovery mode — restoring natural balance so you regain energy and calm.

Muscles & Joints

Pain or stiffness in your neck, back, or shoulders doesn’t always come from the muscles themselves. Often, the real cause lies deeper — in restricted organ movement or imbalances in the body’s structure. Osteopathy finds and treats these connections, improving mobility and reducing pain long-term.

What we don’t treat

At GCK Osteopathy, we focus on chronic or unexplained complaints that haven’t improved elsewhere.
For acute sports injuries, rehabilitation, or typical physiotherapy-related problems, our colleagues at GCK Physiotherapy are the right specialists to help you.

Together, we make sure you always receive the right treatment, in the right place, for your specific situation.

Why choose GCK Osteopathy?

  • Unique specialization: gut–brain axis & stress-related complaints

    At GCK Osteopathy, we have a special focus on the connection between the gut, brain, and stress regulation. This link often plays a key role in persistent or unexplained symptoms. And it’s where our expertise makes the difference.

  • Personal approach: we always look at the whole body

    We don’t just treat the area where you feel pain. By examining the entire body, we uncover the real cause behind your symptoms and create a treatment plan that’s more effective and long-lasting.

  • Risk-free start: your first consultation is 100% free of risk

    Not sure if osteopathy is right for you? Your first consultation is completely risk-free. If you’re not convinced we can help, you pay nothing. It’s the perfect way to experience what osteopathy can do for you, with no obligation.

  • Proven results: many patients notice improvement quickly

    Many of our patients feel clear progress after just a few sessions. From less pain and tension to better energy and mobility. Our results speak for themselves, especially for those who’ve struggled for years without lasting relief.

We are affiliated with and collaborate with, among others:

Exclusive yet accessible

I help people with persistent abdominal, breathing, and stress-related complaints who haven’t found lasting results elsewhere

Google review

"Ruud is erg prettig en kundig. Ik heb de behandelingen als fijn ervaren en het heeft goed geholpen. Hij neemt de tijd om te luisteren wat er speelt en onderzoekt waar de klachten vandaan komen. Vervolgens legt hij duidelijk uit wat hij gaat doen en gaat secuur te werk. Echt een aanrader! Dank je wel Ruud."

Klachten aan middenrif

"Ik kwam met klachten aan mijn middenrif bij Ruud. Had kortademigheidsklachten en pijn bij lopen. De plek waar ik pijn had op mijn rug bleek de aanhechting van mijn maag te zijn. Ruud wist dit snel te achterhalen en behandelde de onderliggende oorzaak. Mijn klachten zijn nu weg en ik kan weer normaal bewegen."

Algemene klachten

"Na behandeling door Ruud zijn mijn klachten enorm verminderd. De behandelingen waren prettig om te ondergaan, de bejegening vriendelijk en ik kreeg duidelijke uitleg en goede instructies voor oefeningen om thuis te doen. Het heeft mij zeer geholpen, dus ik ben erg tevreden."

Problemen met zicht

"Ruud heeft mij goed geholpen met de lichtflitsen in mijn oog waar ik al een tijdje last van had. Na een paar behandelingen, tips en oefeningen om zelf te doen heb ik er geen last meer van. Ik ben er later nog een keer geweest omdat mijn schouders vastzaten en dat was na 1 behandeling verholpen. Ruud is zeker aan te raden vanwege zijn expertise en vakkundigheid"
