Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in Honduras is not government regulated, which means it can be hard to find a true professional. The search, however, is over. Ivonne van Leest is the answer – she is a true physical therapist, having received her education in Holland.

Ivonne got her postgraduate degree in sports physical therapy: intensive therapy tailored specifically to athletes and designed to get them back to top performance level after an injury or surgery. She uses that education and training,and a total of 29 years working in therapy and rehabilitation to create new methods of treating injuries of all ages and athletic levels.

Ivonne has dubbed her new method “Fysio Total,” and it is exclusive to her clinic. In Honduras the typical solution is a prescription, an ice pack or an injection, and the physical therapy centers that do offer medical gyms often don’t know which exercises are appropriate for certain injuries.

At Fysio Total, Ivonne makes good use of a variety of treatment methods, including exercise equipment and the Power Plate, an accelerated training machine.

Ivonne stated in an article for HondurasThisWeek.com:

Our mission is to get you in a state of well-being.We’ll teach you things you can do at home, how to prevent future pain or discomfort, and what exercises are best for you. We’ll do an assessment, which includes your analyzing your work environment, even your home environment if you’re interested in that.

We’ll get you back on your feet - that’s our goal. Not just pain free - we’ll get you back to your daily activities, back to your normal athletic performance level, no matter if it’s for fun, fitness or at the professional level. Our programs are like personal training: 45 minutes of one-on-one “Fysio Total.”
