Johan is more than a teacher. His drive for educating the medical community is only surpassed by his evident passion for the patients who benefit from his expertise. As an instructor, Johan is dynamic and engaging. He easily adjusts his communication style to suit his audience. Johan not only clearly explains the available evidence but also encourages you to pursue the additional research so desperately needed in the field. It is clear why Johan is the leading expert in Halliwick Water Specific Therapy and a principal voice in aquatics.

Dayana Rajagopalan

Physio, Dubai

Johan is an absolute authority in the field of aquatic therapy. I have never met anyone who can explain and scientifically support the therapy as well as he can, even to a layperson. Besides his extensive academic knowledge, Johan has a strong practical background, which allows him to effectively demonstrate what he explains and teaches in the classroom. Johan is a proficient speaker who can captivate an audience with lively presentations. He plays an active role in the proliferation of knowledge on aquatic therapy by publishing his own work and supporting the publication of others’ work through the EWAC Library, where he serves as a member of the consultancy board.

Eric Legdeur

Owner/Manager

The teacher who has no inhibitions about sharing knowledge and leads us to think systematically through evidence, assignments, and clinical cases is the right person to learn from. With vast experience in teaching, a clinical background, and having worked with founders, Johan Lambeck is the right ambassador for shaping Aquatic Physical Therapy. We were happy to have him with us in India to begin the chapter of WST & BRRM, the first certification program.
