About Costa Physio

Peter Van der Linden, founder of Costa Physio

Costa Physio was founded by Peter Van der Linden, a dedicated physiotherapist and manual therapist with over 30 years of experience. The clinic is based in the building of the welcoming Centro de Fisioterapia El Ángel in Estepona, right on the beautiful Costa del Sol, where Peter combines his expertise with a personal, patient-focused approach.

"Since the summer of 2024, I, together with my wife and three children, have made our home on the Costa del Sol in Spain. Here, I have been practicing in various clinics and practices in Torre del Mar, Torrox Costa, and Mijas. And since mid-November 2025, you are warmly welcome in Estepona!"

After ten years of studying physiotherapy, manual therapy, a Master’s in Manual Therapy (MSc), and lifestyle coaching, and with over eighteen years of professional experience in the Netherlands, as well as ten years running a large private practice in the Burgundy region of France, Peter now brings his expert care and guidance to Estepona, helping people move pain-free and enjoy life to the fullest.


"With my manual therapy / osteopathy expertise and an individualized approach to each client, I am highly skilled in functionally diagnosing the human musculoskeletal system.

Combined with lifestyle coaching, exercise programs, and personalized advice, the results of my treatments are especially long-lasting. This makes me highly effective in treating both acute and more complex, chronic conditions, always focusing on the whole person".

I strive for 100% client satisfaction and 100% results, which is reflected in all of my five-star reviews.
