Portrait of sports physiotherapist and personal trainer Dennis Lemmens at Peak Physio Antwerp

Get to know Dennis

Hi, I’m Dennis, a physiotherapist and co-founder of Peak Physio Antwerp.

I focus on helping athletes recover from knee and ankle injuries, including ACL tears, meniscus injuries, impact injuries, tendon issues, and recovery from fractures or sprains.

Movement and sport are at the heart of how I understand the body. With experience in strength training, long-distance running, and jiu-jitsu, I understand the impact of injury and guide athletes through every step of recovery.

Rehabilitation to me is a team effort: we regularly track your progress with objective tests and set clear goals that help you return to sport safely, confidently and keep you motivated along the way.

Alongside rehabilitation, I provide targeted screenings like running analyses and maximal exercise tests. These help identify risk factors, physical abilities, and performance potential, perfect for those looking to avoid injuries or enhance their sports performance.

Ready to get back to the field, the mat, or train even harder? Together, we’ll create a strong, resilient, and ready-to-go body.
