Our Practice

In our private practice for physical therapy and Heilpraktiker in Düsseldorf Derendorf we have two treatment rooms, changing rooms (one with a shower) and a training area.

Michael Boettcher

Grown up in Florida, I was already a sports fanatic as a child and was able to achieve athletic success during my time at college as an athlete and wrestling. I am always fascinated by the perfect interaction of body, mind and soul and how to actively influence it through targeted training.

My role models are Gray Cook, the founder of the Functional Movement System, and Mark Versteegen, the American fitness expert who has already led the German national football team to success. At the age of 23, I came to Germany where I started my training as a physiotherapist at the Heinrich Heine University and successfully completed it in 2000. Since then I work as a physiotherapist and personal trainer.

Inspired by my American role models and based on my therapeutic training, I develop individual training programs that specifically target the weaknesses in the entire movement. In 2013, I founded American PT and realize my holistic training approach based on the American principle of the Functional Movement. In order to achieve optimal treatment and training successes, I have continued my education. Each person is individual, no body is the same. My personal claim is to find the right concept for everyone to enable him to live an active and pain-free life.
