Had a brilliant time in Bergen, Norway, last week, where I was invited to be an opponent of Anne Gro Heyn Faleide while defending her dissertation entitled "It's all in my head now. Readiness for return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction." We had a thorough and very joyful discussion and she succesfully obtained her PhD title!
I'm thankful to Eivind Inderhaug for the invitation and to Per-Henrik Randsborg and Trude Gundersen for preparing me so well as a committee member. I really enjoyed my days in the snow and talking with everyone about common interests, which - by the way - did not only include ACL surgery and rehab.

I was invited to teach a course for SmartEducation in Ghent, Belgium, last Tuesday. A whole day talking about and practising diagnostic skills for acute knee injuries with an enthousiastic group of physical therapists!

Yesterday we had the kick-off meeting of the ESSKA consensus on meniscus rehabilitation. A very special consensus, since both orthopedic surgeons and (former) physical therapists are part of the steering group. The meeting was a very interesting with a good explanation about the consensus proces by Philip Beaufils and introducting of the members of the steering group. I'm thankful for the invitation and really excited to be part of this project!

Last Tuesday, I was invited to teach a course about return to sports after ACL reconstruction. A very enthousiastic group of Dutch physical therapists attended the course. We discussed the importance of on-field rehab and what the ideal return to sports battery should look like. I really enjoyed the day!

Last Thursday and Friday I attended the Dutch Orthopedic Congress. Besides listening to other interesting talks, I was on stage too. I was invited to speak about innovations in recovery of ACL patients and was allowed to present the results of one of our newest studies. I had a great time catching up with old and new friends in the orthopedic field!

Saturday 1st of October 2022
After 15 years of being a (sports) physio, with the knee always having my special interest, I decided to leave this job. It’s been a journey, it took me quite a while to make this decision, but being a physio doesn’t make me happy anymore. I will continue working as a post-doc researcher in sports orthopedics at the Anna Hospital, the Netherlands. I love doing this and ‘discovering’ things to make day-to-day practice a bit easier and better. This will still give me a connection with physios around the world, but in a different way than it used to be.
This new path creates an opportunity to finally realise an English version of my website!
