Osteopath in The Hague, Osteo Elout in the Statenkwartier
Looking for an osteopath in The Hague? At Osteo Elout, located in the Statenkwartier, you can receive personalised osteopathic care for persistent, recurring or unexplained physical complaints.
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy takes a holistic approach, viewing the body as a whole. The source of a problem is not always where you feel pain. That is why I look beyond the symptoms themselves, exploring how other areas of the body may influence your recovery and physical resilience.
Using gentle hands-on techniques, osteopathic treatment aims to improve the mobility and function of different tissues and structures, including muscles, joints, connective tissue, organs and the nervous system.
About Elout
My name is Elout Kielman (born in 1989). As an osteopath, I take a broad approach to physical complaints, looking at how different parts of the body are connected and influence one another. My background in physiotherapy and manual therapy, combined with my knowledge of (exercise) physiology, allows me to carefully assess symptoms and approach treatment from different perspectives.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through running, swimming and cycling, and I regularly take part in triathlon events. This has given me a strong appreciation of how important it is for the body to move well, recover effectively and adapt to physical demands.
What conditions can an osteopath help with?
Osteopathy may be suitable for persistent or recurring complaints, symptoms that do not improve as expected, or conditions where the underlying cause is not immediately clear. An increasing number of doctors and other healthcare professionals refer patients to an osteopath when a broader approach to the body may be beneficial.
At Osteo Elout, I look at the body as a whole, exploring factors that may influence your symptoms, recovery and physical resilience. I provide osteopathic care for adults, athletes, women during and after pregnancy, as well as babies and children.
How much does osteopathy cost?
The cost of an osteopathic consultation depends on the type of appointment. After each treatment, you will receive an invoice that you can submit to your health insurance provider for reimbursement.
Osteopathy is often partially covered by supplementary health insurance. As osteopathy is not covered by the Dutch basic health insurance package, reimbursements are not subject to the mandatory deductible (eigen risico).
The amount reimbursed varies depending on your insurance provider and policy. I therefore recommend checking your coverage before booking an appointment.

During your first osteopathy appointment, we will take the time to discuss your symptoms, medical history and any previous treatments. This is followed by a physical examination, looking not only at the area where you experience symptoms but at the body as a whole.
To properly assess your posture, movement and tension in different areas of the body, the examination is preferably carried out in your underwear. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you are welcome to wear comfortable sportswear instead.
Based on our discussion and the examination, I will explain my findings and we will decide together on the most appropriate treatment approach.

Yes, babies and children are also welcome at Osteo Elout. I always tailor the assessment and treatment to the child’s age, development and individual needs.
