Wendy Scholten

The research conducted by Wendy Scholten-Peeters focuses mainly on the efficacy, safety and underlying mechanisms (such as neurophysiological, immunological mechanisms) of manual therapy interventions in patients with musculoskeletal pain and neck pain in particular. In addition, she conducts research on diagnostic and prognostic models in patients with neck pain and cervical radiculopathy. She mainly conducts clinical studies in which the results are useful for clinical practice and education. As co-promotor from the SOMT University of Physiotherapy, Wendy is associated with the doctoral research of Martijn Stenneberg and Marije Sleijser.

Wendy has a physical therapy background and received her Master degree in Manual Therapy (summa cum laude) from the Free University of Brussels, Belgium in 1996. She obtained her PhD in 2004 on the study “Whiplash and its management” at the Catholic University of Nijmegen, Centre for Quality of Care Research. In the period from 1996 to 2008, she was a lecturer at the Free University of Brussels and guest lecturer at the University of Genoa, Italy. During this period, she also worked as a manual physiotherapist in the ‘Rugcentrum’ Uden and in 2005 started as a lecturer at the SOMT University of Physiotherapy. From 2009 to 2014, Wendy worked as senior researcher at the lectureship ‘Diagnostics’ at Avans Hogeschool, Breda and Erasmus MC, Rotterdam. Since 2014, she works as Associate Professor at the Faculty of Behavioral and Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
