ABOUT TAKEOFF.physio
takeoff.physio is a mediation agency that has been set up to guide foreign physiotherapists through the switch to Switzerland. We (Ben and Tijmen) moved to Switzerland a few years ago. Now we want to share our experience and knowledge to help you achieve the same! Our goal is to make the move to Switzerland as easy as possible for you.
ABOUT TijmeN
like challenges and always try to push my limits. That's why I rowed at a national level during my student days. Once I had finished my physiotherapy studies in Nijmegen, it was time for a completely new challenge. I found it in Switzerland, both for work and sports.
I'm not a seasoned world traveler like Ben, so Switzerland presented me with the perfect challenge: a foreign language, a completely different environment and a new adventure on my own in a place where I didn’t know anyone. That foreign language was perhaps the biggest challenge, because I didn't speak a word of German when I moved. My biggest tip is therefore to at least start with a German course before you start your own Swiss adventure.
ABOUT BEN
I have been working and living in Switzerland since 2019. I like working in Switzerland, namely the relaxed working atmosphere but the lower work pressure is a nice bonus. It also strikes me that the appreciation of the profession of physiotherapy is higher here than in the Netherlands. For me, the nature and outdoor sports opportunities that Switzerland has to offer have been the biggest reasons to work and live here.
I grew up on the beautiful island Texel and in January 2017 completed my physiotherapy training at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. After I obtained my diploma I started working for a while at a Dutch practice to save for a trip in Asia.

Why takeoff in Switzerland?
Switzerland is a very beautiful country with many opportunities in both nature and sports, and your income is typically higher than in any other country. It is only a few hours travel from the Netherlands and yet you are in a completely different environment. The country itself is very diverse: from palm trees in the southern part to glaciers and eternal snow at the top of the mountains. Other countries such as Italy, Austria, Germany and France are also within easy reach. In addition, each season has its own advantages: in winter you can ski while in summer you can swim in one of the many lakes
