I enthusiastically started using the Sylo pen. After just a few uses, I already felt a difference. What a fantastic invention! I'm too lazy to use it every day or every other day, but if I feel some pain around my tailbone coming back, or if I've been sitting on a wooden bench all day, I pick it up again, and the next day it feels much better. I'm very happy with it.

After suffering from lower back pain radiating into my right leg, as well as sore hips and legs, my daughter introduced me to Sytske. She's such a sweet and wonderful person; she took my complaints seriously and indicated that long-standing issues also needed more time to heal. After a few treatments, there was improvement, and I could walk better. Sytske uses the Sylo-pen and does dry needling for me. It's been very effective, and I've been losing the radiance in my right leg for a while now. That's why I bought a Sylo-pen for myself. Even my husband uses it for his back and finds it very helpful.

I had been dealing with severe tailbone pain for years. During that time, I had seen several therapists, but my symptoms persisted.
During a hospital visit, I was told I just had to learn to live with the pain. I couldn't accept this. Fortunately, while searching online, I came across Sytske's website.
The first treatments were very painful, but Sytske was hopeful, and her expertise gave me confidence.
She used the Sylo pen as a treatment method. The first time she treated the problem area with the pen, it felt like a stab in the back. After a few minutes of rest, she treated the area again. The intensity of the pain had already subsided somewhat. By the third time, you could feel the muscle tension decrease significantly. After each consultation, you notice you're making a step in the right direction. It's unbelievable that the Sylo pen has such a tremendous effect.
I bought the pen myself so I can monitor it at home.

Due to my fibromyalgia, I frequently suffer from persistent trigger points, especially in my shoulders, which regularly trigger severe migraine attacks. Last year, my physiotherapist treated me several times with the Sylo-pen, and each time with amazing results! Just one session with the Sylo-pen, and the pain was gone the next day.
Because I'm not always able to visit the physiotherapist, but I do need treatment, I decided to purchase a Sylo-pen myself. I've had it for over a month now, and what a lifesaver! I've already prevented migraines several times by treating the trigger points, and I've also used it on other areas/trigger points. Every time with success!
It's so worth the investment; I'm really glad I bought it. Highly recommended!

I went to the GP with painful symptoms in my left leg and buttocks. He referred me to a physiotherapist, but that didn't yield any results. Afterward, an MRI scan was performed, which didn't indicate any need for treatment. Meanwhile, I was referred to De Overwinning by a family member. Dominique treated me several times. She listened carefully and made me feel calm. She straightened my tailbone. The pain in my leg disappeared. I was also treated by Sytske. They both used the Sylo pen, which I also bought. I now also use the pen at home when I feel pain. I'm happy with the results and feel almost no pain anymore. Thank you for the excellent treatment and the pleasant atmosphere.

After at least 10 years of physical discomfort and frequent pain, I came under the care of Sytske Lohof. The discomfort mainly concerned lower back pain, frequent urination, and difficulty sitting for long periods. I enjoy cycling on a racing bike; after 20 minutes, that became uncomfortable. The treatments were incredibly helpful, and the Sylo pen was used during them. During the treatment, it became clear that I had many more physical discomforts. Very sensitive gluteal and thigh muscles, abdominal muscles, and even in my upper back. The Sylo pen was used on the painful areas, and I felt immediate results: less pain and relaxation. Unprecedented! I wanted that Sylo pen too! Fortunately, it was possible. The treatments with Sytske stopped; not many were needed. A miracle! I use the Sylo pen on various areas when they flare up (a little) and on other areas that cause discomfort. I haven't had such a supple and pain-free body in years. I've now built up my road bike riding to an hour and a half, and I still don't have any pain when sitting. I'm very enthusiastic and happy! I now know that with this Sylo pen, I can keep my body in this state. I'm a fan of the Sylo pen.

After a difficult delivery three years ago, I was experiencing severe pelvic pain.
I couldn't sit, and I couldn't stand for long periods either.
I was referred to a reputable pelvic floor physiotherapist, who diagnosed my tailbone as misaligned. She straightened it. However, the pain didn't disappear. I was then referred to the pain clinic. The pelvic floor physiotherapist there quickly indicated that she couldn't help me if the aforementioned pelvic floor physiotherapist hadn't already been able to help me. She then referred me to Sytske. I'm so glad I met her! It turned out my tailbone was still misaligned, and after a simple treatment, Sytske managed to straighten it. The muscles around my tailbone had been through a lot and needed proper treatment. The "stick-pen" offered a solution. What a relief! After the first treatment, I felt improvement and regained some confidence in my body! After a few treatments and the purchase of a "backjoy," I was able to sit again! After several visits, the symptoms had completely disappeared. I had renewed confidence in my body and was ready to embark on a second pregnancy. Sytske had already treated me with the "Sylo-pen" during my pregnancy, and the delivery was fantastic. I could immediately walk, sit, and do everything I wanted to do.
Now, four months after my last delivery, we've stopped the treatments because things are going so well! I've purchased a Sylopen so I can practice at home if I still have any symptoms.
Sytske, thank you for your physical, but also your reliable, mental support. My life has been completely changed by you! You're an angel!
Hello Sytske
In 2009, I had a serious car accident, which fractured my pelvis and left me with a torn back. I've undergone many different treatments, including periods of treatment by a pain team.
I've come a long way. During
my treatments with Sytske, she regularly uses the Sylo-pen. The Sylo-pen works very well for me in loosening my body. It causes a brief pain that subsides almost immediately after use and is very effective.
The Sylo-pen causes a brief and quick pain, a shorter duration than massage, and it feels as if everything can be loosened much more effectively and quickly.
The effect after using the Sylo-pen is difficult to describe or compare.
But it also helps me enormously... my body is becoming more and more relaxed, more and more unlocked.
Kind regards, MG (Oosterwolde)
I have nothing but positive things to say about the Sylo-pen.
It's been a year and a half since I gave birth to my first child.
From 20 weeks pregnant, I developed pelvic and back pain and spent a long time searching for the right help. I
visited both a physiotherapist and a chiropractor, but nothing really helped. My symptoms worsened, and the pain intensified.
When my tailbone became misaligned during labor, I was practically incapacitated. I
underwent numerous hospital tests, and no one really knew what to do.
It wasn't until six months after giving birth that I stumbled across Sytske through a TV program.
She knew immediately what to do; she straightened my tailbone and immediately treated my muscles with the Sylo-pen.
From that point on, I continued to improve. I
've had numerous treatments, and I still go to the practice every two to three weeks for Sylo-pen treatments.
It's always a bit painful, but the effect is fantastic.
My muscles are immediately loosened with the Sylo-pen, and it's so much more effective than regular massage.
I always go home feeling much better than when I arrived. Sometimes I have a soreness for a day or two, but afterward, it's much better.
I've said I wish I had a Sylo pen at home so I could do it myself if I'm in pain.
Sytske has given my life back with the Sylo pen treatments, and I would recommend them to everyone!
Greetings, CC (Ter-Apel)
Sytske designed and marketed the Sylo-pen herself. I'm sure it will be a success! There's a picture of a girl from Africa hanging in her office; I asked her about it. She explained that she'd love to go to Africa with her Sylo-pen (original name) to help people there too. That's precisely what I love about Sytske: she's a therapist who thinks about her patients and fellow human beings. She genuinely loves her profession, which she practices with so much love and passion. For me, the Sylo-pen is amazing. It addresses all the pressure and tension points; it feels unique, and it always makes me laugh. It's different, yet so wonderful, so simple yet so effective. Best invention ever!
Big hug for you, JH (New Amsterdam)
I purchased the Sylo-pen.
After decades of sometimes severe pain and various treatments, I came to Sytske through good references regarding back/pelvic problems.
Ultimately, a simple diagnosis revealed that my tailbone was misaligned.
(It's still a shame that this is an unknown problem for "regular" physiotherapists.)
Sytske's NIMOC treatment has completely changed my life.
The entire treatment, including follow-up, took about six months. The distance (52 km) was more than worth it. I can now make do with occasional visits to a local physiotherapist.
Because my body was incredibly stiff and blocked, Sytske used her self-developed Sylo-pen.
I have experience with dry needling. This is more painful, can only be performed on one side of the body, and the treatments take longer.
By purchasing my own Sylo-pen, I hope to be able to (or have) myself treated to become and remain even more flexible and mobile.
Kind regards, AV (Uithuizermeeden)
In 2011, I had a car accident and suffered a fracture to my tailbone. This went unnoticed/unrecognized by various doctors and specialists for a long time, and I therefore let it go for far too long. After many visits to various doctors and specialists who couldn't explain it, I ended up with Sytske through my chiropractor.
I was amazed that she was able to properly realign my tailbone and that I had been dealing with it for so long. However, the high muscle tension in my body persisted, and we're still working on that.
I find it amazing what Sytske does in the short time I'm with her for a treatment, and I'm specifically referring to what she does with her "Sylo-pen." In a short time, she can treat a large area, and I leave feeling much better than when I went in. Unfortunately, the high muscle tension doesn't disappear long enough and returns.
But now you can finally order the Sylo-pen and use it at home. I've been looking forward to it for a long time, ordered it, and I'm very curious to see what it will bring.
So far, Sytske has been very helpful, and I'm very grateful that she's relieved my tailbone pain.
Keep up the good work, Sytske!
Thank you, RS from Emmer-Compascuum
