I became an online health coach after years of dealing with injury, declining health, and losing balance while becoming a high-level gamer (Global Elite CS:GO, Grandmaster LoL). My own recovery taught me how complex health truly is and why people deserve more than quick fixes. In this channel, I help you understand your body, your pain, and your potential, with clear, evidence-based guidance.

I am Sjoerd van Burken, a graduated physical therapist from Fontys in the Netherlands and now an online health coach.

I grew up active and athletic until an Achilles tendon injury took me out of sports for years. Around the same time, I became obsessed with gaming and I got very good at it: Global Elite in CS:GO, Grandmaster in League of Legends, Ruby division in Guild Wars 2. Gaming made me happy, but my physical health slowly collapsed.

Visits to specialists gave me quick fixes, not understanding. My health declined until I eventually found the gym and rebuilt myself step by step. That led me into personal training, physiotherapy, and behavioral science approaches like ACT and motivational interviewing.

During physiotherapy training, I realized real change doesn’t come from treating a single structure it comes from understanding the whole person: pain, sleep, stress, habits, beliefs, lifestyle and identity. Humans are complex, and we deserve more time, attention and guidance than the traditional setting often allows.

That’s why I started online health coaching instead of registering immediately as a practicing physical therapist. Online, I can spend more time with each client, offer deeper support, and help people build resilience, autonomy and confidence.

I offer a free 30-minute intake to explore your goals, struggles and context and to see if working together is the right fit.
