Flora Muijzer – Physiotherapist in La Cala de Mijas
Fed up with back pain or neck pain? Flora finds what's causing it and fixes it.
Flora Muijzer is a Manual Therapist and Physiotherapist at Costa Health in Mijas Costa with 14 years of hands-on experience. She's not interested in patching you up temporarily – she wants to get to the root of the problem and give you lasting results. Whether it's your back, neck, a sports injury or you just want to move better, Flora combines Manual Therapy, McKenzie Therapy and tailored exercises to get you back to your best.
Flora takes a holistic, evidence-based approach, combining Manual Therapy, McKenzie Therapy and exercise rehabilitation. She's focused on one thing: finding out why you're in pain and sorting it out at the source – not just managing your symptoms indefinitely.
She spent nearly three years working at a top physiotherapy and sports performance clinic in Shanghai, treating international clients alongside leading specialists. That experience raised her standards and gave her a global perspective on what excellent care looks like.
While she loves working with athletes, her real expertise is spinal health. Most of her clients come to her wanting to reduce chronic pain, fix their posture and get back to living comfortably. Flora's goal is simple: help you move better, recover properly and stay active for the long term.
"Movement is at the heart of everything I do. I'm not interested in treating you forever – I want to get you better and keep you that way."

Why choose Flora?
She gets to the root cause.
Flora doesn't do sticking plasters. She works out exactly why you're in pain and treats the source – so the problem actually goes away.
Evidence-based, holistic approach.
Manual Therapy, McKenzie Therapy and targeted exercises – brought together in a treatment plan built specifically for you.
Proper hands-on treatment.
Mobilisations, manipulations, dry needling – Flora uses her hands. You won't spend your sessions just talking.
Exercises that actually stick.
You'll leave with the tools to stay strong and pain-free. Flora's aim is to fix you properly – not to see you back with the same issue in six months.
Speaks Dutch, German and English.
No language barrier, no miscommunication – just clear conversations about your health.
Outside the clinic
Flora practises what she preaches. She's a keen cyclist who recently pedalled to Everest Base Camp at 5,200 metres – a ten-day adventure through some of the toughest terrain on earth. As a triathlete, she raced at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship 2024 in Taupo, New Zealand. When she's near the coast, you'll find her surfing – Indonesia and Australia are particular favourites.
She's visited over 40 countries and shows no signs of slowing down. When she's at home, she's happiest with good food on the table: a proper steak or fresh pasta, a decent glass of wine, and good company.
