Portrait of sports physiotherapist Shanti Verhaegen at Peak Physio Antwerp

GET TO KNOW SHANTI

I am Shanti, a physiotherapist with a strong passion for movement.

Sport has been a constant thread throughout my life. From the age of six to twelve I was on the football field, until an injury abruptly ended my childhood sports dream. But when one door closes, another opens. That is when I discovered my fascination with the human body.

For the past six years I have challenged myself as a runner, with a personal goal of completing my first marathon in 2026. Besides running, you will often find me on the bike or in the mountains on a hike.

 

As a physiotherapist I combine my own experience as an athlete with up to date, evidence based insights. I support patients not only in recovering from injuries, but also in returning to their sport stronger, more efficient and with greater confidence. My focus is on sustainable solutions, tailored to your goals and your body.
