Specialist Mathias Thoelen

Mathias Thoelen, MSc Sports Physio & Lecturer Blood Flow Restriction Training

I'm a Belgian Sports Physical Therapist working in The Netherlands at Sports Medical Center Anna TopSupport Eindhoven. Besides that, I'm a member of The BFR Pros (USA). A worldwide authority in translating the BFR research into practice. I'm active as an international speaker, “clinical instructor”, for The BFR Pros and I'm engaged in research on training with BFR in post operative patients.

At Anna TopSupport I'm daily working with Sports Doctors and Orthopedic Surgeons regarding the conservative and post operative rehabilitation of athletes of all levels, from recreation to elite athletes. I'm responsible for on-field rehabilitation, I regularly see second opinions and I'm screening athletes with acute traumas every week.

I have built an international network and my ambition is to bring therapists, doctors, physical coaches, researchers and students in touch with BFR to improve the knee rehab of our patients. Simultaneously, I want to make sure that BFRT is applied safe and objective, by giving evidence-based courses and participating in scientific research.
