About us

Annabel Bonten-Jennissen started the Life is Motion Osteopathy Practice in Son en Breugel and Eindhoven in 2012. By now she has four colleagues. They all started their career as a physiotherapist, and all five of them had a wish to be able to offer more to their clients. They went back to school and followed an Osteopathy training. They gained knowledge about anatomy, physiology and neurology, and learned to make connections between pain and the functioning of organs and the locomotor apparatus, among other things. Every year, they take extra training and refresher training courses in order to maintain their knowledge and to continue learning. “This is how we continue to grow as practitioners.”

Annabel, Ellen, Bob and Lindsey search for the cause
of your physical problems and stimulate the body to heal itself.

Annabel Bonten-Jennissen

I graduated as a physiotherapist in June 2007. During my study, I saw people returning with the same problems several times. Physiotherapy could not provide them with a solution. I met an osteopath and was intrigued by his way of working. In October 2007, in addition to my job as a physiotherapist, I started with the five-year part-time course to become an osteopath at the International Academy of Osteopathy. I successfully completed this study in June 2012. During this study, I started to view various problems in a different light. Since then, I am able to make more connections, which makes my treatment much more efficient and effective. I see and treat the body as a whole. I am a member of the Dutch Osteopathy Association (NVO) and am listed in the Dutch Register for Osteopathy (NRO).

Speciality: general osteopathy, (gynaecological) pelvic problems, osteopathy during pregnancy and after childbirth, osteopathy in babies and children

My greatest passion is treating gynaecological problems that are often misunderstood, such as pain during intercourse, pelvic pain and vaginal pain after childbirth, and pelvic instability. I can achieve very good results for such problems with Osteopathy. By means of various extra training and refresher training courses I have studied more closely the treatment of problems during pregnancy and after childbirth, fertility problems and the treatment of babies and children.

In 2015 I graduated as a physiotherapist from Avans University of Applied Sciences. This degree programme provided me with a good basis, but I continued to have many questions as to how and why certain problems arose. The holistic vision of Osteopathy appeals to me very much. As osteopaths, we try to find the cause of problems by looking at the whole body. Because back pain that does not go away in spite of intensive training and stretching may, for example, be caused by a disruption in the intestines.

Whether you are troubled by headaches, neck, shoulder, knee or foot problems: Osteopathy provides relief for various problems. You can also come to us with an earache or tinnitus, stomach ache or migraine. We gladly make time for you. Clients often tell us that they wished they had visited an osteopath years ago. They did not know, for example, that we can also treat fibromyalgia and arthrosis!

Speciality: general osteopathy, osteopathy in children

In 2019 I graduated from the International Academy of Osteopathy. I am now following the additional training for Osteopathy in Children. As an osteopath, I am registered with the NOF (Dutch Osteopathy Federation).

Bob van den Enden

After I graduated as a physiotherapist from Fontys University of Applied Sciences, I worked as a physiotherapist for 6 years. I started studying Osteopathy at the Flanders International College of Osteopathy (FICO) because I wanted to learn more about the human body and wanted to make my treatment techniques more efficient. I graduated in 2020. I am currently taking the Osteopathy in babies and children specialist course.

Speciality: general osteopathy, osteopathy for problems caused by whiplash or concussion

One of my specialities is treating problems caused by a whiplash or a concussion. Osteopathy can often bring relief in these cases, even if people have been having pain for months or years, and in case of concentration problems for example. I look for mechanisms that maintain problems, such as a changed posture. In addition, I specialise in dry needling. This is a treatment method that quickly reduces muscle tension and that can be applied to numerous chronic or acute muscle problems. I exercise a lot, and I assist athletes at all levels to help them return to the sports field as quickly as possible after an injury. I am starting with the Osteopathy in babies and children specialist course at the end of 2021. As an osteopath, I am listed in the Dutch Register for Osteopathy (NRO).
