My name is Barend van Zelm van Eldik and I am an osteopath and acupuncturist by profession.

I am 42 years old, married and father of 2 children. I started my career as a physiotherapist. In 2009 I set up practice Doortast.

During my work as a physiotherapist, I specialized in all spine-related complaints and conditions and guiding athletes before and after their injuries.

I have also specialized in dry needling, ultrasound and lifestyle advice that I can include in my treatment.

I gradually discovered that many complaints could be treated effectively, but that the cause of the complaints was not always identified. That frustrated me and at the same time I saw that there was more than just muscles and joints.

Because I am always interested in different treatment methods, I first studied acupuncture and then osteopathy.

These studies have given me a lot of information about our body and have given me many options to properly treat my clients with their complaints.

From acupuncture I have specialized in treating all kinds of hormonal problems (menstrual problems, infertility complaints, burn out, allergies, headache complaints and stomach and intestinal complaints.

As an osteopath, I focus on long-term physical complaints. In particular hormonal problems, stomach and intestinal complaints, allergies, unwanted infertility, etc.
