Judith
I am Judith De Backer, the founder of kine mobiliz.
In 2018, I earned my Master's degree in physiotherapy at UGent, and in 2019, I obtained my manual therapy diploma at UGent. Additionally, I completed a dry needling course at the Trigger training institute.
After my studies, I gained 6 years of experience in a private practice in Ghent. Following this, I decided to pursue my dream and founded my own practice.
Through my education and years in the field, I have discovered the value of a personal and tailored approach to care. I strongly believe in the importance of listening to my patients and working with them to develop a treatment plan that focuses not only on recovery but also on the prevention of future complaints.
During my treatments, I switch between various techniques and therapies: from manual therapy or dry needling to exercise therapy, depending on what is best for you.
I find great satisfaction in motivating and supporting my patients during their rehabilitation and look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
Manual
therapy
Manual therapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on treating joint and muscle problems through specific movements or mobilizations of joints and tissues. This can help restore normal joint function, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall mobility. Manual therapy is often used for complaints such as neck and back pain.
Dry
needling
Dry needling is a treatment method used to relieve muscle pain and muscle knots. It involves inserting a thin needle into tense muscles or trigger points (specific painful spots in the muscles) to reduce tension and relieve pain. The needle directly stimulates the muscle fibers, which can help improve blood circulation, relax the muscle, and reduce muscle tension.
Sports
rehabilitation
Sports rehabilitation focuses on various types of injuries, including sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. A key aspect is the targeted restoration of the specific movement pattern required for the sport practiced by the patient so that he or she can perform at their peak again. The ultimate goal of sports rehabilitation is to return the athlete not only pain-free but also stronger and better prepared for future physical challenges, minimizing the risk of relapse.
Orthopaedic
rehabilitation
Orthopedic rehabilitation includes a specialized treatment plan aimed at restoring physical functions of joints, muscles, or bones after orthopedic surgery or conditions, such as fractures, prostheses, etc.
Cervicogenic
headache
My special interest lies in the treatment of headaches that originate from the structures of the neck, such as the joints, muscles, or nerves. The pain is felt in the head but is caused by problems in the neck. Characteristics of cervicogenic headaches often include occipital pain or unilateral pain that can radiate to the forehead, temple, or around the eye. These problems often arise from poor posture (e.g., screen work) or trauma such as whiplash. Treatment often consists of manual therapy and posture correction.
Viktor
Hello, my name is Viktor Coppenolle.
In 2026, I graduated as a physiotherapist from Ghent University (UGent), specialising in musculoskeletal disorders. My education has given me a strong foundation in physiotherapy, with a particular passion for sports rehabilitation.
Every body and every injury is unique. That is why I combine manual therapy and exercise therapy, tailoring the balance between both approaches to your individual condition and stage of recovery.
I am committed to continuous professional development and plan to further specialise in Manual Therapy and Dry Needling. I also aim to expand my expertise in sports rehabilitation, helping athletes return to their previous level of performance - or even exceed it - after an injury.
My goal is simple: to work together with you towards the fastest and most effective recovery possible while helping to prevent future injuries.
Manual
therapy
During treatment, I make targeted use of a wide range of manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilisations and traction techniques. Thanks to my training, I apply these methods with precision to restore joint mobility, reduce mechanical stress, and effectively relieve pain.
Further postgraduate education in Manual Therapy is part of my future development, but even today I am committed to helping you regain comfortable, unrestricted movement with care and precision.
Sports
rehabilitation
My greatest passion is working with athletes.
Every sport places unique demands on the body in terms of movement, technique, and physical load. That is why I take the time to understand your specific sport so I can determine exactly what you need - not only to return safely - but also to perform at your best.
Together, we analyse your movement patterns and develop an individualised rehabilitation programme. The objective is not simply to get you back to your sport as quickly and safely as possible, but to help you return as a stronger, more resilient atlhlete.
Orthopaedic
rehabilitation
Recovering well after orthopaedic surgery or a traumatic injury requires the right guidance at the right time.
Together, we focus on restoring your joint mobility, strength, and stability, allowing you to regain confidence in your body and return to your daily activities as efficiently as possible.
Vestibular
rehabilitation & BPPV (dizziness)
Dizziness and balance disorders can have a major impact on your daily life.
During my university education, I specialised in vestibular rehabilitation and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) through dedicated coursework. Using evidence-based repositioning manoeuvres and targeted balance exercises, we address the underlying cause of your dizziness directly.
Our goal is to help you regain your balance, confidence, and stability as quickly as possible.
