About Elout

My name is Elout Kielman (1989), and I am an osteopath based in The Hague. In my work, I take a comprehensive approach to physical complaints, considering the factors that may influence recovery, movement and physical capacity.

Symptoms do not always originate in the area where you feel them. Different parts of the body constantly influence one another. That is why, during an osteopathic assessment, I look beyond the area where you experience pain or tension and consider the body as a whole.

During a consultation, I take the time to listen carefully to your story. This is followed by a physical examination, where I assess factors such as mobility, tension and the relationships between different regions and systems of the body.

Based on our conversation and the examination, I develop a treatment approach tailored to your needs, your body and the physical demands of your daily life.

My Journey into Osteopathy

I have been working in healthcare since 2013. I started my career as a physiotherapist and completed my postgraduate training in manual therapy at SOMT in 2019.

Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in musculoskeletal conditions, recovery, physical demands and physical capacity. At the same time, I found myself increasingly wanting to look beyond the area where symptoms appeared.

Why do some symptoms keep returning? Why does recovery sometimes take a different course than expected? And what factors outside the painful area might play a role? These questions gradually led me towards osteopathy.

In 2022, I began my osteopathy training at the International Academy of Osteopathy (IAO). During this programme, I further developed my knowledge and skills in assessing and treating the body through a comprehensive osteopathic approach. I completed my studies with a degree awarded by Buckinghamshire New University (BNU).

Osteopathy allows me to combine my background in physiotherapy and manual therapy with a broader approach to assessment and treatment.

Careful and Personalised Care

No two people or physical complaints are exactly alike. That is why I do not follow a fixed treatment protocol.

I believe it is important to carry out a thorough assessment, clearly explain my findings and discuss together which factors may be contributing to your symptoms.

My approach is personal, attentive and down-to-earth. Your individual needs are always at the centre of the consultation, and I want you to understand what I am assessing and why.

Experience in Sport and Physical Performance

Since 2015, I have worked with various hockey teams competing at the highest level.

In this sporting environment, I have applied my knowledge of exercise physiology, recovery, physical demands and physical capacity. This has given me extensive experience in understanding how the body functions under physical stress and which factors may influence recovery and performance.

I bring this experience into my osteopathic approach, both when treating athletes and when helping people experiencing physical complaints in everyday life.

Movement as Part of My Life

I also enjoy staying active myself. I run, swim and cycle, and regularly take part in triathlons.

Movement, recovery and listening to my body are therefore not only part of my professional life, but also an important part of my everyday routine.

Whether you are an athlete, spend long hours sitting at a desk, are recovering from a period of physical overload or have been experiencing persistent symptoms, I am happy to work with you to explore what your body needs.
