Types of discomfort
Are you experiencing physical pain? Or do you have a restriction in your posture or movement? Then you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to Vitaal.nl. We can also help you if you would like to prevent pain, become more conscious of your movement or feel more comfortable in your body.
Each person is unique. That is why we offer treatments that are customised to your individual needs.
If you don’t see your discomfort or physical pain listed here, then don’t hesitate to contact us for personal advice. You might not realise – or expect – it, but much of the pain and discomfort we experience is most likely caused by a physical imbalance.

Treatment
All of our treatments are focused on rebuilding your body’s own vital posture from the inside out.
With postural and movement exercises of the Niek Brouw Method, you restore your body’s natural balance, as well as the cooperation between different systems in your body.
1e Consult
Your first consult will be an intake. By going through a list of questions together, we can form a better idea about who you are and the possible source of your discomfort or symptoms.
After that, we will conduct a posture diagnosis and draw up a personal treatment plan.
Client experiences
Treatment Plan
We will draw up a customised treatment plan consisting of a series of exercises. Together with your therapist, you will go through a few of these exercises during each consult.
Exercise 10 minutes per day
By repeating the exercises at home, you can once again find and experience your very own, personal vital posture. And, all you need is 10 minutes per day
Although our treatment is primarily focused on physical movement, many of our clients experience more mental freedom and stability as well.
Vitaal Scan – Posture Diagnosis
Are you curious to know just how healthy and vital your posture is and if there are any indications for health problems in the future? We offer a one-off Vitaal Scan – Posture Diagnosis.
Better insight into your posture and physical blockages, instantly.
The diagnosis focuses on the cooperation between your bones, muscles, joints and connective tissue. To do this, we use a treatment table with mirrors (designed by Niek Brouw, MD).
The Vitaal Scan takes about 1 hour.
If you like, we can draw up a personal treatment plan for you based on the results of your Vitaal Scan.
Personal Growth
Growth requires taking the step from the familiar into the unknown.
With our postural and movement exercises, you can discover new skills, emotions and intuition within yourself. And, with that, explore new ways of expressing yourself to the outside world. Through individual treatments and person-oriented courses, we can contribute to your overall well-being and personal growth.
Even when we’re all grown up, we continue to grow.
Are you also interested to explore your undiscovered side?

Job Coaching
Personal development
In your work, your body is an important tool to help you perform and express yourself. Blockages in the body that you don’t feel might be holding you back and can lead to physical pain or discomfort. Without realising it, you are using up more energy than necessary and find yourself running into the same problems. This is unfortunate, since it stands in the way of your concentration, your creativity and the enjoyment of your work.
Vitaal.nl offers you a tailor-made programme. Please contact us if you would like more information.
Personal development for you and your employees
As a company, would you like to further support the qualities and talents of your employees?
To help them be more efficient and work together with more motivation and enjoyment? This is an effective way to decrease sickness absence among employees. We offer various workshops, lectures and practical training sessions to effectively address these topics.
A more vital posture for each individual ensures a more open communication in the workplace.
Very suitable as an inspiring day of team-building, customised to meet the needs of your organisation.
Please contact us if you would like to find out about the possibilities.
Singers, athletes and musicians
It’s not having great running shoes or the perfectly-tuned guitar, but it is in fact your body that allows you to perform your best. Tensions in your body – that you sometimes don’t even know are there – can cause you to use up your energy unnecessarily. This can lead to injuries in the long term or it can limit you in expressing yourself.
Every instrument needs to be tuned regularly. Otherwise it loses its sound and beauty. This also applies to your body, your very own instrument.
With our postural and movement exercises, you will be able to express yourself optimally from the inside out, when it comes to passion, creativity and performance.
