Hank Hallegraeff

Dr. JM Hallegraeff is content manager for continuing education at SOMT University of Physiotherapy, the Lifelong Learning program.

Aspecific low back pain and the associated factors that negatively affect its course is a scientific topic that has my attention. Further research into this is still necessary and new knowledge is being generated. Additionally, substantiation of the role of psychosocial and cognitive factors in low back pain is an important part of my scientific interest.

In addition, his scientific interest is focused on diagnostic and therapeutic research of nocturnal cramping as a still little known nonspecific musculoskeletal disorder.
