About us

SOMT University of Physiotherapy is a Center of Expertise that offers physical therapists powerful, challenging blended learning. Development-oriented physical therapists are encouraged, both independently and in collaboration, through a constantly (self) critical, questioning attitude to find the best and directly applicable solutions in uncertain and complex situations within their specialist field. Science and practice go hand in hand. Taking into account everyone’s (learning) characteristics, the activating education of SOMT University of Physiotherapy offers physical therapists the challenge to rise above themselves. This individual growth process is closely monitored with continuous assessment and adjusted where necessary.
