About Mathias Thoelen, MSc Sports Physio & Lecturer Blood Flow Restriction Training

Trying to solve clinical problems with evidence based solutions by literature reviews. Loving to work in innovative ways when there is no solution while collecting data and educating possible solutions.

I'm a Belgian Sports Physical Therapist working in The Netherlands at Sports Medical Center Anna TopSupport Eindhoven. Besides that, I'm an international speaker/ "clinical instructor" on BFR training. I'm a member of Integrated Performance Training and I'm engaged in research on training with BFR, Achilles Tendon ruptures and Velocity-Based Training.

At Anna TopSupport I'm daily working with Sports Doctors and Orthopedic Surgeons regarding the conservative and post operative rehabilitation of athletes of all levels, from recreation to elite athletes. I'm responsible for on-field rehabilitation, I regularly see second opinions and I'm screening athletes with acute traumas every week.

I have built an international network and my ambition is to bring therapists, doctors, physical coaches, researchers and students in touch with BFR and other innovative modalities to improve the ACL rehab of our patients in a safe, objective and evidence-based way.
