Roy
Standwell – Your Partner in Postural Well-being
Roy’s journey to bodywork didn’t begin with textbooks or anatomy charts, but on the rugby field — where his ability to move large people using seemingly little effort earned him a spot at an Ivy League university. What once seemed like a strength soon revealed its physical consequences. Sports injuries lingered, pain crept in, and eventually, even daily movement became difficult. Out of concern, Roy’s mother booked him a chiropractic appointment — choosing a clinic from a phonebook she’d impulsively taken from a college-town police station after a dispute over a parking ticket. It was a fittingly unconventional start to what would become a completely different approach to healing. What followed was the familiar cycle: stretches, spinal cracks, electrical stimulation, and weekly appointments that felt like routine maintenance — but rarely led to lasting change. Everything shifted when he encountered a radically different approach: Advanced Biostructural Correction™. From the first visit, it was clear something was different. There was no massage table, no gadgets — just precise, test-driven corrections that didn’t rely on explaining symptoms but rather focused on structural function. The results? Life-changing. Over one summer, Roy lost 40 kg, no longer needed asthma medication, and saw long-standing issues — from chronic aches to a lazy eye — disappear. He felt taller, stronger, and more energetic. For the first time, he wasn’t managing symptoms — he was healing. This was more than a personal transformation. Roy became deeply curious: Could the body be “solved” structurally, like a Rubik’s cube? The consistent testing, recursive process, and dramatic outcomes suggested it could. That question launched a new chapter. Roy pursued formal training in ABC™, traveled the world to learn from leading instructors, and eventually relocated to the Netherlands, where he now brings this method to a wider audience through Standwell. At Standwell, Roy’s mission is simple: to help people feel at home in their bodies again — effortlessly upright, pain-free, and reconnected to their physical potential.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about our sessions, approach, and what to expect.
Are treatments covered by insurance?
Yes, if alternative care is part of your package. Consult your policy for exact details.
Do I need to be in pain to benefit from Standwell treatments?
Not at all. While many people come to us with pain or discomfort, others seek us out to improve posture, reduce fatigue, breathe better, or perform at a higher physical level. Standwell is about proactive care — helping you function and move at your best, no matter your starting point.
Is Standwell only for adults, or do you treat children too?
We welcome people of all ages — adults, children, and students alike. Early posture correction can have a powerful impact on a child’s development, while adults often come to us to unwind years of structural compensation. Our pricing reflects these different life stages, but the method remains the same.
How do I book an appointment, and what should I expect?
You can book your appointment easily online through our booking page, or reach out if you need assistance. Your first visit includes a full postural assessment and your first treatment. From there, we create a tailored plan that helps you stand well — not just today, but for the long run.
I was recently injured or in a serious accident, should I schedule an appointment right away?
A full medical workup must be conducted first. We will immediately refer you to your GP if serious contraindications to care are suspected.
I’m only in Amsterdam temporarily — is it still worth booking an appointment?
Yes, absolutely. Even a single session can have a noticeable impact. Many of our clients — including travelers, digital nomads, and Republica guests — book short-term packages or one-off sessions to reset their posture and relieve built-up tension. You don’t need a long-term commitment to benefit from postural correction.
