About the website
It’s good to see you on this website! This means that you’re genuinely curious about my Doctor Pelvis site, how fantastic! On this page I will briefly explain what this website is about so that you can have a good idea of what you can find here. I will also explain why I’ve started to write and what my thought process/intentions are for Doctorpelvis.com
Two birds, one stone
I’ve noticed that most people don’t really know a lot about pelvic issues, let alone about their own pelvis, while my head and bookshelves are filled with information about it. After a big search on the internet, I’ve found out that a lot of specific information isn’t being shared. There are a lot of therapists with information on their websites, but it’s never enough to actually help someone with pelvic issues.
Logically, because a therapist wants people to visit their practice. But that’s not my goal. I’ve yet again started to study and analyze every symptom and issue related to the pelvic girdle. With that I managed to freshen up my knowledge that I’ve gained from my first graduated study. I’ve noticed that there was a lot of interesting information in my books, but still in my memory as well. I couldn’t really find this information back on the internet. That’s where I saw my opportunity, an opportunity to share my gained knowledge and to inform and help people. If you have pelvic issues or you’re looking for more information, you will often not find what you’re looking for on one clear website. I want to change that by handing solutions to you. And that’s how Doctor Pelvis was born.
The website
Articles, articles and more articles. Ah yes, and a lot of pelvic floor exercises! I’ve written a lot of articles throughout the years. These are filled with information, tips and advices. They are about pelvic issues, pelvic pain, pelvic instability, incontinence, prolapses, sex, pregnancy, and even your toilet habits. Essentially, they are all about the problems that you can experience in or around the pelvis. Next to providing information, I also wanted to offer you something else, something that will immediately be useful to you. I am a physical therapeutic practitioner, so I’ve prepared a lot of suitable exercises for you. Exercises for a lot of different situations. Whether you want to strengthen or relax your pelvic floor, I’ve got them all memorized. These pelvic floor exercises can immediately have effects on the issues that caused you to visit my website. This website is an all-inclusive package. One environment where you can find information AND the solution.
Affordable exercises
I’m sure you’re thinking, “Nice, those exercises, but I have to pay for them.” That’s true, I’m asking a small compensation, solemnly because running a website does cost money. Maybe something I didn’t really keep in mind. But alright, it’s to keep the website running. I’m not a big commercial enterprise that’s trying to make easy profit. I’m genuinely trying to decrease your issues by explaining those issues to you. I can also share preventative information with you so you won’t develop any more issues. For the rest, if it goes well with the incomes, I hope to be able to get this website translated. This to help ladies and gentlemen in different counties or in the Netherlands who haven’t really managed to master the Dutch language yet. Relevant information about the pelvis and pelvic issues for everyone! Isn’t that a beautiful goal?
We’re a highly collaborative and supportive team.

About me
I’ve officially graduated from the university of applied sciences at the Hogeschool in Amsterdam for exercise therapist-Mensendieck (a group of licensed therapists) in 2010. It can be compared to a physical therapist (but don’t let them hear about this!). The economical crisis started at the same time I was studying. It was incredibly hard to get a job, let alone one that’s adhesive to your graduation papers.
After a long search, I got in touch with a giant Dutch store company. After a wonderful conversation with my former manager, I’ve decided to go for that opportunity. It worked out well when I think back about that time. I could grow rapidly and together we managed to achieve a lot of beautiful projects. But we ate the cake, and were left with just crumbs. Speaking of cake… hold on.
The idea to start Doctorpelvis.com started a while ago. I decided to leave my former employer in June 2019. I was ready for a new challenge and I had an employer who I could be really proud of. I worked in retail, where I choose for 7 years ago, out of desperation. In my search for a new employer I kept a few different scenarios in the back of my head. I started to freshen up my therapist knowledge and gathered the right books from the attic. I’ve made a lot of annotations during the refresher. From those annotations I made texts, and those texts became articles.
Without knowing what I would eventually do with those articles, I started to research the information on internet. It quickly became clear to me that the information that I had collected wasn’t present on the internet. That’s how the idea for Doctorpelvis.com was created.
But alright, who am I next to that?
Next to being the creator of this website, an exercise therapist graduate, and a Retail adventurer, I still have something else to tell you about. I am Martijn van Oostveen and extremely dyslexic. Please don’t worry about the quality when you so happen to stumble upon a few typos. I simply don’t see them. Next to that, I’m happily married to my fantastic wife Alicia. We are in our early thirties, and we love to travel a lot. If it wasn’t for corona, we were spotting buffalos in America. But alright, it is what it is. Fortunately we also enjoy our home and especially our garden. We especially enjoy each other and our life together. We both find family and friends very important, and Netflix is a solid task on our to-do list. We’ve also become proud parents of our wonderful son Frenkie Jay, and I could support Alicia throughout her pregnancy with unasked facts and exercises.
“Doctor Pelvis has an amazing team of hard working professionals. Everyday is a pleasure to work with them.”
