I know what it costs when the body doesn't keep up.
Sven Sindelar; Physio, athlete, coach — and dad. I built KINĒ Health because I believe performance and health are the same goal. Not two separate things you have to choose between.
Background
Sport is not what I do. Sport is who I am.
I've been moving my whole life — at four years old, I was already out on the field. What started as pure childhood joy became a true passion: athletics, combined events and middle distance, years of training, competitions, setbacks, and personal bests. By the time I was eighteen, sport had shaped not just my body, but the way I think.
At fourteen, I started giving back what I had learned. For eight years, I coached children in athletics — teaching them what it means to understand their own body, to respect their limits, and then quietly push past them.
When my competitive years on the track came to an end, movement stayed. Road cycling became my new rhythm. Then came a break — life, as it sometimes goes. The way back led through the gym, and from there back to the bike, back to running, and eventually into the mountains: trail running, open terrain, real challenges.
Along the way, I discovered physiotherapy. And suddenly, everything made even more sense. The years of body awareness, the understanding of load and recovery, the experience as a coach — all of it gained a new depth through the medical foundation of physio.
Today, I bring both worlds together: the athlete I was and still am, and the therapist and coach who understands what your body needs — not from a textbook, but from lived experience.
Experience
My foundation was built at one of Germany's most respected institutions — the Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, a hospital renowned for its expertise in trauma and complex injury rehabilitation. Training there set a high standard from the very beginning: precision, thorough clinical thinking, and a deep respect for the complexity of the human body.
After graduating, I joined an outpatient physiotherapy practice in Berlin, where I gained broad, hands-on experience across the full spectrum of physiotherapy. This chapter was formative. Working with a diverse patient population, I deepened my knowledge in orthopaedics and traumatology, but also developed a strong foundation in neurology — including the treatment of dizziness and vestibular disorders, an area that requires both clinical sensitivity and a sharp diagnostic eye.
Those years in Berlin taught me one thing above all: that no two bodies — and no two stories — are the same.
The next chapter brought me to Switzerland. Since joining AM Physio at Letzigrund in Zurich, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of people — from everyday patients navigating pain and recovery, to competitive athletes pushing the boundaries of what their bodies can do. It is exactly the environment where my background comes full circle: the clinical expertise, the athletic understanding, and the genuine passion for helping people move better and feel stronger.
Philosophy
Individual first
Your plan is built around your life — not the other way around. Family, work, stress, sleep: all of it matters.
What I actually believe about training
Long game only
No quick fixes. Real performance is built over time, with smart loading and proper recovery — not heroic training weeks.
Whole person
Physio and coaching are one system. Therapy informs training. Training informs therapy. That's the KINĒ difference
