FREEDOM TO MOVE.


pellikaan’s new medical centre The concept for the multi-disciplinary centre will now be rolled out


The Pellikaan Health & Racquet Club in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, held the grand opening for its new Medical Health Clinic in February. The multi-disciplinary centre


is operated in conjunction with sports physiotherapy company Daan Spanjersberg. Pellikaan has worked with Spanjersberg for a number of years, but until now this has been a case of renting out treatment rooms within the facility. The new eight-room clinic – open to


members and the public – is used by physiotherapists, dieticians, orthopaedic specialists, a kids’ physiotherapist, GP, occupational health expert and so on. Regular meetings between Spanjersberg


and Pellikaan staff ensure full integration between club and medical centre. Designed as a concept for ‘total health’


via three Cs (cure, care and control), the clinic offers everything from treatment – supported by health insurance – through rehab and dietary advice to a focus on healthy lifestyle and the notion of ‘exercise is medicine’, encouraging individuals to take responsibility for their own health. Special programmes are also available for the over-50s, over-70s, anti- obesity and smoking cessation. V-Check (see HCM Oct 10, p29) is used as a screening and coaching tool. The concept will now be rolled out across the Pellikaan estate.
