1.About The KneeClub

1. The primary objective of The KneeClub is to provide a platform for clients who are interested in understanding their injury and seeking a suitable healthcare professional. In addition to providing information to clients, The KneeClub also aims to establish a high-quality network of healthcare professionals as a secondary goal. Facilitating networking, referrals, and the exchange of knowledge and expertise in an accessible manner form the foundation of this objective.

  1. The KneeClub strives to be a distinctive network of healthcare professionals where quality is paramount. To ensure this, we maintain a profile that a healthcare provider must meet. Membership can be obtained by means of an application form. The application is assessed on the basis of criteria (see conditions), motivation and letter of recommendation/references. The final application follows after a sounding board round with several relevant professionals. Members are individuals working as dieticians, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, psychologists, sports physicians or Strength & Conditioning specialists. In addition, the health care provider must be enrolled in the registry of their profession.
