About
Bon Fysiotherapie
"Bon" means good in Papiamentu,
the native language of the Bonairean people.
It is also a natural descriptor for our
practice - as Bon Fysiotherapie is what
we provide! There are five Dutch trained
and certified Physical
Therapists working at Bon Fysiotherapie,
who are fluent in English, Spanish,
and German in addition to our native
Dutch. We are not only the largest,
but also the most diversely experienced
physical therapy practice on Bonaire.
Working in close contact with the islands
General Practitioners, we have extensive
experience at every level of therapy,
including long term rehabilitation, neurological
and orthopedic therapy, and specialized
therapy for children. And of course, we
can also provide at-home treatment for
the infirmed.

In every one of our four treatment rooms,
we use much of the same state-of-the-art,
high end equipment that you would expect
to find at any US practice, including
Enraf-Nonius equipment, which is considered
top of the line in the field today. This
includes ultrasound and electrical stimulation
machines (i.e. TENS) utilized to stimulate
muscles, increase circulation, reduce
pain and strengthen muscles. In addition,
we have two training rooms with Technogym
bikes and treadmills, as well as several
other pieces of Technogym fitness-equipment.
Technogym equipment is known for its superior
design and quality, as it supports the
body in anatomically correct positions
while offering weight systems that are
easily self-adjusted for any fitness level.
If requested, there is also the possibility
of heart-rate-controlled training.

competition, improve aerobic capacity, or

management program, Bon Fysiotherapie can
offer you a wide variety of professional
fitness programs in comfortable,
air-conditioned surroundings. |

Contacting
Bon Fysiotherapie
We are located in the center of Kralendijk,
which is no more than a two-minute drive from
most of the island resorts. And walking to the
waterfront from our practice takes no more than
one minute, which makes the ocean a possible
location for a part of your training.
With
flexible treatment times beginning as early
as 7:00 a.m. and extending as late as 6:00 p.m.,
it is easy to schedule an appointment that will
not interfere with your days plans or the enjoyment
of your overall vacation. We have a variety
of wheelchairs and crutches for rental or use
by our patients.

you are interested in beginning or continuing
your rehabilitation or exercise program on Bonaire,

we meet with you for an initial set of tests
