Jaap M. Switters
As a born Dutchmen I started in 1999 my Physiotherapy training at the International Academy for Physiotherapy “Thim van der Laan” in Utrecht, The Netherlands. In 2003, I graduated as a Physiotherapist and moved to Switzerland. Over the next four years I lived and worked in Switzerland. In 2008 I fulfilled a lifelong dream and I got an opportunity to go to Australia studied at the University of South Australia for the Master degree in Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy.
Since 2009 I live in Vienna, Austria. Where I work as a therapist in my own practice. I am also a lecturer at the University of Applied Science: “Fachhochschule Campus Wien” and “Fachhochschule Südschweiz – SUPSI (Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana)” in Landquart, Switzerland.
In 2018 I completed my second Master degree in Osteopathy at the Health University of Applied Sciences Tyrol, Innsbruck, Austria.
I am fluent in Dutch, English and German.
