Client stories and reviews

Since April 2022, I have been receiving treatment from Jop Mur.
When I first visited him, I had long COVID symptoms, including breathing difficulties. Jop loosened my diaphragm, which provided significant relief. I then visited him regularly because his treatments helped me enormously and I felt understood, thanks to his patient and calm approach.
Since then, I have been seeing Jop at intervals. I am a classical singer and need to be in top condition for this. Both the singing technique and the lifestyle of a singer demand a lot from the body. Jop knows exactly where complaints come from; sometimes it is in a completely different place than you think.
Jop Mur is a master of his craft and I am glad that I can go to him!

For years, I searched for someone who could help improve my hip/lower back and shoulder problems. Often, there was a brief improvement, but it always came back. And now… Jop has succeeded! I’m not done yet, but I’ve given my hip/lower back some time and it’s still going well. I can sit cross-legged on my cushion again :-)!’

“Jop has been a tremendous help to our one-year-old son! He is calm and pleasant with small children. The issues we came for have been completely resolved in four treatments.”

‘After a traffic accident, friends referred me to osteopath Jop Mur. Due to a fall on my left side, I suffered from paralysis in my left hand, pain in my left shoulder/neck and shortness of breath in traffic.
After countless (useless) hospital visits, Jop Mur’s treatment produced results after just one session! Jop Mur “reads” your body, as it were, and puts it back to how it should be (at least, that’s how I experience it). All this in a very calm and pleasant manner. The paralysis in my hand has completely disappeared, my shoulder and neck are much less painful, and I have my anxiety in traffic under control. I am very happy that I came into contact with an osteopath (I had never heard of them before).’

As a keen sports enthusiast, I regularly suffer from minor to sometimes more serious injuries. This usually leaves me feeling as though my body is locked up somewhere. You can no longer move freely. I cannot pinpoint exactly what the problem is or what happened, but I do know that it hinders me enormously. Through an acquaintance, I ended up at Osteopath Amsterdam Jop Mur. At first, I was always a bit sceptical about “alternative” medicine, but I’ve changed my mind. You can feel that something is changing. Jop Mur is an exceptionally skilled osteopath. He radiates calm, listens carefully and puts you at ease. During the treatment, he keeps you well informed about what he feels and what his diagnosis is. With every intervention he made, I felt a change. I felt less hindered almost immediately. He also clearly states what he can and cannot do, something I have never experienced before with a medical practitioner. Two days later, I went back to playing tennis, unhindered! In short, a very good experience! Try it for yourself.

‘As a legal secretary in the legal profession, I have had neck and shoulder problems for years (stress, high work pressure). I felt that physiotherapy was no longer helping until I heard about osteopathy through the grapevine. I started googling and was particularly impressed by the work experience of osteopath Jop Mur (formerly employed as a company physiotherapist/ergonomist). Jop is very friendly and, above all, calm. What I liked was that during his treatment, Jop explained a lot about what he was doing and why. This quickly put me at ease and helped me relax. I have certainly benefited greatly from Jop’s treatments (including no more headaches!). Really great! Thank you, Jop!’

My busy life (family, office job and active sportsman) occasionally causes tension to manifest itself in back pain. On the advice of friends, I decided not to go to the physiotherapist, but to an osteopath instead. In Jop, I found a real “miracle doctor”. In the five years that I have been seeing him (sometimes with long intervals), he always helps me get rid of my complaints. Sometimes it is caused by stress, but sometimes it is caused by, for example, a fall from my bicycle. Each cause requires a different approach, and Jop always knows how to find the cause and treat the pain where it originates. I also really appreciate his calm approach, combined with his explanations and advice.

About a year ago, I had surgery for appendicitis and a cyst on my ovary. Unfortunately, some nerves in my abdomen were damaged during the operation. After consulting several doctors at different hospitals, I finally ended up with Jop. I have now had five sessions with Jop and there is a clear difference! The pain in my abdomen has decreased significantly. I would recommend Jop to anyone. Not only because of his expertise, but also because he is a good listener. He has a calm manner and does not promise results he cannot deliver.’

Problems with my lungs during exercise. This started three years ago in the mountains at high altitude. After various courses of medication prescribed by my GP, I was referred to a very good pulmonologist a year ago. Underwent various tests and was also referred to a cardiologist. These tests did not result in a diagnosis. Referred to a professor at VU University, but he was also unable to help me. Heard about osteopathy through an acquaintance and ended up with Jop Mur. After three treatments, I cautiously tried to start building up my running again. This is going well. Jop… thank you very much!’

‘I went to Oosteopaat Amsterdam’s Jop Mur upon recommendation from my fysio. I was being treated for a sore shoulder that I developed in September last year, mainly through overuse, stress and tension. These problems had occurred from both stressful computer work as well as intense training, preparing for the Amsterdam Marathon. I was running with a waterbottle in one hand and put a lot of stress on my shoulder (yes I know running normally causes knee or other leg related problems….but for me it was the shoulder). I was in quite a bit of pain, and could hardly lift my arm up in a 90 degree angle. My fysio felt that my recovery process was not going well, after months of weekly treatment to release the tension; I still had a lot of days with so much pain that I could hardly use my arm. As soon as I walked in Jop made sure to make me feel comfortable while he asked me more about my condition. He examined me gently and started the treatment right away using different techniques of stretching, gentle pressure and resistance throughout my body and intestines. Jop asked me several times throughout the treatment if I felt any discomfort – but I really didn’t – the whole process helped me relax and by the end of the visit the intensity of my pain had reduced. An amazing experience during one of the sessions was when stabilizing of my gallbladder took away the pain in my shoulder almost completely! Today was my 4th visit with Jop over a period of 1,5 months and I experience such a difference in how my shoulder feels, but also in general how much better my body functions during normal daily activities as well as during heavy sports. Overall I am really impressed with the whole process. Now I’m finally able to after months of pain, start training with my fysio to strengthen and rebuild the weakened muscles in my upper body and shoulder area. I would definitely recommend Jop for his attentive and professional manner and osteopathy as a really effective treatment method.’
