Pain in the body

I had very little energy for months. However, the main reason that I decided to have acupuncture applied was that for almost half a year I had suffered from severe anxiety and regular panic attacks, as a result of sexual abuse in my youth. The GP had advised me on psychotherapy, EMDR treatments and medication. – According to the psychotherapist, however, EMDR turned out not to be suitable for me; – The months of therapy did not reduce my fears; – The medication gave me nosebleeds (later it turned out that the medication had a vasodilator side effect that I could not tolerate). Jean-Paul listened carefully and extensively to my history. It was new to me to learn that acupuncture could also help with emotional anxiety. I have now had 7 treatments in total. Each time, a lot of attention was paid to how I felt and what complaints arose. Jean-Paul used to explain which treatments he wanted to use. After each treatment I needed a lot of rest, and therefore a lot of patience. I feel it's better to continue with the acupuncture for a while, but I don't have any fears anymore. This is such a liberating experience! I never thought it possible that I would be able to experience this again and I am especially grateful to Jean-Paul for his expertise and care.

I've been coming to Jean-Paul's for a few weeks now and I'm very satisfied. I have been suffering from my entire back for years (approximately 21 years) and for some time now I have been suffering from my knees, hips and ankles due to fibromyalgia, hypermobility and scoliosis. I have already tried many different treatments such as physiotherapy, back program, people dieck, osteopathy and a lot of medication. Nothing helped for a long time and I didn't want to stay on the medication for the rest of my life. My last hope was Jean-Paul and I'm so glad I did. Jean-Paul makes me feel really comfortable and he really listens to your complaints. Jean-Paul does everything he can to make me feel better. For me it has helped tremendously. I am now off my medication and the pain I still have is going very well. I recommend it to everyone because I really feel much better than 2 months ago.

I mainly suffered from insomnia, stress, pain in my lower back and a very restless feeling. I've had this problem for at least 25 years. At a certain point you don't know any better and you try to make the best of it: but in the end this is at the expense of your joie de vivre. I absolutely did not want to start with sleep medication. I've tried everything like melatonin, yoga, sleep music, every sleep ritual I could think of, devoured one sleep book after another. The result was that I became even more stressed and this made me feel very restless, until I discovered the acupuncture of THE WHITE OS. Here I have been in treatment for 5 weeks and believe it or not but I am now much calmer, less stressed and now sleep 6 to 7 hours straight. I am so glad I started this treatment and I thank Mr Jean-Paul for this. I have experienced the treatments as very pleasant.

After dozens of courses of antibiotics, examinations by a gynecologist and urologist and treatments by a pelvic floor physiotherapist to combat a chronic bladder infection, the general practitioner and the urologist suggested taking a small amount of antibiotics daily as a preventive measure. I heard from someone who got rid of her recurring bladder infections through acupuncture. So I ended up at De Witte Os at the beginning of November and thanks to the pleasant treatments by Jean Paul I have not had a bladder infection so far. I am confident that it also increases resistance.

I go once a month for an acupuncture and after treatment, I go to 'Praktijk de Witte Os'. Jean-Paul works professionally, with attention and respect. Because of the treatments my resistance has clearly improved and my energy has increased, I also sleep better. A very good way to take care of yourself; I recommend it to everyone!

With my many sports, the White Ox is my regular practice for keeping my muscles loose and flexible. Jean-paul asks where I am having trouble or where it is stuck, after which he massages the spot well. Thanks to Jean-paul I never suffer from major injuries and I can continue my training sessions. Last time I went to the White Os with the flu. After which Jean-Paul proposed to tackle the flu symptoms with acupuncture. No sooner said than done. After the treatment, the flu set in completely and I was able to go to bed right away. However, when I woke up the next morning, everything was gone. I still had a bit of a cold but the flu was gone and I was able to go to work.

Sunday February 10 2019 my back was so stuck that I could no longer sit nor stand. Hardly bearable pains kept me on the floor and withholded me from getting up to see a therapist. Jean-Paul Barbou van Roosteren from De Witte Os came to treat me. An hour after he started massage and acupuncture this lame man could go out for a walk. Perhaps not as fast as Jesus did it but as miraculous! Thank you so much!!!

There are many reasons and causes why people lose connection with their origin or destiny. Think, for example, of social pressure, expectations from society or the family, or having to bear too much responsibility at a young age, e.g. from a parent who died early, addiction in the family or other childhood problems such as […]

Walk like an African warrior

I go running about once a week. And to be honest, I have to admit that this is not always easy for me. Sighing and moaning, I struggle in half an hour to 45 minutes through a beautiful course in the Jekerdal on the edge of Maastricht. Likewise this afternoon. While I slowly catch up […]
