John engele

Physical therapist

My name is John Engele. I have been working in Pijnacker since 2000. My passion for motion made me become a physical therapist. The sports I practice are biking, speed skating, running and swimming, but I also spent a lot of time with movement itself: To get people to move better in my job as a physical therapist, and to make them perform better in being a (speed skating) coach. I think medical rehabilitation is also a form of top-class sport.
