D.O.-MRO, Utrecht # Stuck in the 'paracetamol and wait' culture of the Dutch healthcare system? As a professional in the Netherlands, you don't have time for vague diagnoses. If you feel your physical performance is declining and fragmented care isn't giving you answers, you need a different strategy? # Perhaps this sounds familiar: "you've tried everything, but it feels as though the bigger picture is being overlooked." ## Thomas M. Pfaff (MSc. D.O.): ## "I analyse your entire care pathway and guide you towards a targeted solution — with osteopathy and medical care coordination.  I help international professionals in Utrecht find direction and a clear plan when the system has become rigid." Book your Intake and get the whole picture ### How can I help you? At Enlace IMC, we believe your body consists of interconnected systems, not isolated islands. Do you recognise any of the complaints below? Discover how we can help you. ##### You have symptoms. Perhaps for months already: - Back, neck or shoulder pain that won't go away - Vague complaints without a clear diagnosis - You've already seen multiple doctors or therapists without a clear plan - Or you simply don't know where to begin in the Dutch healthcare system Meanwhile, you continue to live with pain and uncertainty. Your body is your most valuable asset. When chronic pain, fatigue or exhaustion start limiting your ability to work, you can't afford to wait months for an appointment. Many professionals come to me when the continuity gap in the Dutch system has left them without a coherent overview. Many international professionals in Utrecht come to me when their pathway has become stuck: disjointed treatments, various specialists, but no one overseeing the whole. In such cases, I don't just look at your complaint, but at your entire care pathway. **Chronic complaints often have roots in prolonged stress or unprocessed emotions. Thomas integrates manual techniques with psychosomatic insights.** - Burn-out and chronic fatigue - Unexplained pain and pressure on the chest - Hyper-sensitivity (HSP) - Neck/shoulder tension from overthinking/overstimulation #####   ##### "I connect scientific knowledge with the trinity of body, soul and spirit."  - Thomas ### Book your intake Are you unsure whether your situation is more complex?

At Enlace IMC, you are not a passive patient. We help you to regain balance and agency over your own life and vitality. **We do this in 4 steps:** - ### 1. The Timeline Analysis Within your own Enlace Smart Private File, we analyse your medical history 24 hours prior to the intake and create a timeline of 'stressful life events'. This way, we spot patterns that others miss. - ### 2. Total Health Check No longer looking solely at "the pain spot", but at the source of physical blockages in time, your medical history and lifestyle, and fixed patterns in the psyche, neuro- and immunology, your medical history and lifestyle — so you receive an osteopathic treatment tailored to your body and situation. - ### 3. We Orchestrate With osteopathic treatment, you often experience rapid relief from pain and tension. Where necessary, I use advanced analyses to find connections that are frequently missed in conventional pathways. - ### 4. CEO of Your Own Health Within Enlace Care, you learn through Deep Learning how to protect your own health in the future, by doing or avoiding specific things. Through Vision on Health and Prevention! ### Beyond the therapy: Your Healthcare Concierge In a system as fragmented as the Dutch one, the greatest risk is that details get lost between specialists. My Healthcare Concierge approach acts as the definitive bridge: I coordinate with other professionals, interpret complex reports, and translate medical language into an action plan that protects your "inzetbaarheid" (sustainable employability and performance). I work alongside your doctor to ensure that no detail is lost in the continuity gap. You are no longer a number on a list — you are the CEO of your own health. This service is Enlace Care. Osteopathy is IMC. Two levels, one commitment to your health. #### You no longer have to navigate the healthcare system alone! ## Thomas M. Pfaff, MSc. D.O. **With my 20+ year background in osteopathy, health sciences, kPNI and multidisciplinary collaboration, I view health complaints differently than a standard practice.** In addition to **osteopathy**, I am specialised in **psychosomatics**. In this unique combination, I focus on the **interaction between body and mind**. Many physical complaints actually originate in prolonged stress, unprocessed emotions or trauma. These tensions can become lodged in the body and lead to complaints such as chronic pain, fatigue or unexplained physical symptoms. Through a combination of **classical osteopathic techniques** and **psychosomatic methods**, I help you resolve both physical and emotional blockages in the body. --- ![](https://imc.enlacecare.nl/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/IMG_3801.jpeg) #### At Enlace Premium Osteopathy Care, you don't just receive a treatment — we oversee your pathway and help you adjust course, with a Holistic Vision on Health and Prevention! ### From Treatment to Total Overview For clients whose complaints are more complex or involve multiple systems simultaneously, I work differently. In addition to my work as an osteopath, I also offer:Within this pathway, we don't just look at one complaint or treatment, but at the complete picture:  - Coordination of various care providers - In-depth analysis of underlying patterns - Personal guidance over a longer period - Strategic choices in treatments and care pathways ### Which approach suits you? Some clients start directly within an extensive care guidance pathway. For others, a first osteopathy intake is a logical and low-threshold beginning. **Important to know:** If during the pathway it becomes apparent that more is going on or a broader approach is needed, we can always scale up together to a form of guidance that better suits your situation. [ → Thomas M. Pfaff MSc. Healthcare Concierge ](https://enlacecare.com/en/enlace-personal-care-in-english/) ## For Whom & Complaints? **Many clients who visit my practice in Utrecht and the Marina Alta initially come for a concrete complaint — back pain, tension, fatigue or persistent physical discomfort.** But in practice, I often see something else. ![](https://imc.enlacecare.nl/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/03/IMG_3821-1.jpeg) ### When Osteopathy Is Not the Whole Answer The complaint is rarely standalone. Multiple factors are at play simultaneously — physical, mental and sometimes also lifestyle- or care-related. Perhaps you recognise this: • You've already tried various treatments • Complaints keep returning or change form • There is no clear diagnosis, but it feels that "more is going on" • You lack overview or agency in your health  #### In such situations, osteopathy can be valuable — but it is not always sufficient as a standalone intervention. **In situations where multiple care providers are involved, complaints persist for a long time or previous treatments have been insufficient, a standalone treatment is often no longer adequate.** **Then agency, overview and coherence in the care pathway are essential.** # Sustainable & Affordable ### Fee Overview #### Most clients choose a pathway, because it delivers faster and more sustainable results and offers more certainty. ### Intake & First Treatment For initial insight €120,-/50-60 min. - Online screening - Physical examination - (Differential) Diagnosis - First treatment - Lifestyle advice During the intake, we jointly determine which level best suits your situation. → Book your Intake ### Recovery Pathway For structural improvement €450,-/5 treatments* - Personal treatment plan - 5 treatments of 40-45 min each - Interim evaluations - Follow-up planning MOT - Telephone advice & support → Book treatment program ### Premium Care & Advocacy For complex pathways. €850,-/ Per month, full care guidance** - Active coordination between involved care providers - Structuring and monitoring of the entire pathway - Guidance in complex or urgent situations - Substantive preparation and follow-up of consultations - Direct access for questions and interpretation — no doubt afterwards — you can act quickly when you need advice or explanation **Important nuance**: This pathway is specifically intended for situations with increased complexity, time pressure or high stakes, where continuous involvement is essential.   [ → Thomas M.

That is understandable — especially in another country and with a complex pathway. Stop searching and trying to solve it yet again on your own.

Healthcare Concierge ](https://enlacecare.com/en/enlace-personal-care-in-english/) 0 + ##### Liaison Spain — International ### For international professionals, expats and retirees who regularly move between the Netherlands and Spain, continuity of care is often a challenge. That is why I work alternately in Utrecht and Dénia, according to a fixed rhythm of 21 days in the Netherlands and 9 days in Spain. I am regularly in the Spain for consultations with care partners and institutions, so that lines remain short and coordination runs efficiently. Do you need to align or organise matters (partially) in the Spain? We can easily incorporate this within your pathway. ### (+31)64 4248 260 ## Enlace IMC ### Together we know more than alone. ### High-Tech Diagnostics Before you step inside, our AI builds your health timeline (your 'film') via the secure 'Enlace Smart Private File App'.
