“The right balance of recovery and performance can take your body to a higher level.” – Julien Rysman –
J ulien Rysman (45) is an osteopath with a lot of hockey
expertise. From an early age, he has had an outspoken preference for all things medical and scientific. The choice of his studies and career was always guided by finding a balance between sport and his professional activities. In 2000 - with a recently earned degree from ULB in hand - he joined the medical staff of football club RSC Anderlecht, where he stayed for four years. He left because he wanted to focus more on his family life and because he wanted to start his own practice. Rysman became an assistant in osteopathy at ULB and signed a contract with the Royal Hockey Club Leuven, where he remained until 2016. Then he joined the staff of the Red Lions, who had just won a silver medal at the Rio Olympics.
