MAJA/CLINIC Leiden

I went to Maja clinic to rehab from a lower back pain and some shoulder stiffness from February to June this year, so around 4 months of treatment. After having had back pain for around 9 months and have tried different PTs, I decided to go for the "best" and give it a 110% importance to the rehab, no matter the price or effort as long as it'd produce results. Despite corona, Maja reinforced that she'd be in touch for giving next exercises after our first two consultations, and that I could contact by WhatsApp to ask doubts. So I did, but received no response for over a month until they texted back that they were going to open again. So far I didn't feel any progress, and since I completely stopped my previous training, lost of strength, motivation, and still same or worse back pain. I let them know but they insisted there was progress... for every session I went, they said there was progress even though I never felt so. After continuing rehab for a bit more, I decided to insist that there was no progress, so after they checked a MRI I gave them a couple of months before, they came up with a new diagnose and they decided to change the approach. Moreover, they checked all the videos I sent about my technique when doing my previous training as well as my actual exercises, and gave me a table of exercises with some explanation on them that had exercises really similar to the ones I did before and didn't work... but I'm not the PT, so I obviously trusted. I have to add that they gave me the material to do the exercises and continue the rehab, for which I'm grateful that I didn't have to buy it, and they were really nice when in consultation and discussing stuff. Unfortunately, that doesn't heal my injuries neither make me progress. More sessions, more "progress" seen from their side but not mine, until I decided to tell them I wanted to quit for obvious reasons. We appointed a meeting to return the material and discuss the reasons with the PT and the doctor. They apologised because the rehab didn't work and they were sorry that I had lost my time and motivation with the programme, and that they could see that the progress was minimal. But what strikes me is that they added that "progress should had been seen from 2-6 weeks into the program". I have been 4 months into this rehab program with sessions and apparent "progress" for them, and then when I quit, they admit there was no progress. I have to add that they referred me to another PT in Leiden but have not yet booked an appointment, I'm currently trying to rehab by myself, stretching and progressing at a slow rhythm. To summarise, they were nice to me and the diagnose looked reasonable and logic. However, they didn't help with the injuries, I lost money (it's not a cheap place), motivation, and time.

I had a shoulder subluxation after a skiing accident and got very good and professional help resolving the issue with both an in-house doctor, physio appointments as well as an adapted gym schedule and regular checkups. Everyone are very helpful, professional and friendly and can explain medical issues, treatments as well as exercise plans in English well. The clinic has a physiotherapy treatment facility as well as a gym, both very good.

If you are looking for a good physiotherapy in Leiden then definitly go here! I was at FMT before I went to Maja clinic and the difference is almost frightening! Here, they have more interest in your condition so that you actually get better again. They have the expertise, personal interest and experience!

I've had great experience with Maja Clinic! I went to Maja for the first time in August last year with knee pain from running long distances. Maja and Ferdinand immediately diagnosed the problem and started me on a set of knee stability and core exercises to support my recovery. After less than 8 months my knee problems were gone and I can run again pain-free! I would definitely recommend Maja and Ferdinand!

Finally got answers that confirmed the pain I've been experiencing the past 7+ years in my shoulder. The doctor that works here is super specialised and found something on my MRI that many had missed for years. Currently in treatment with the physical therapist and very happy with the friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the clinic. Definitely recommended!
