The story behind Move the Brain
Rianne Schorel is a former professional soccer player in the USA and the Netherlands, CEO of Move the Brain, author of two books, and a thought leader in sports-related brain and head injury prevention and recovery.
As a professional athlete, she suffered a life-changing head injury from heading the ball. After nearly ten years of recovery and a long path to diagnosis, she realized that the field of brain trauma prevention and treatment needed change.
Together with her twin sister Nanja, she co-founded Move the Brain, a multidisciplinary recovery and training center helping clients return to life after brain injury, concussion, burnout, and PTSD. Today, she leads international programs in the Netherlands, soon Switzerland, and opens in Sweden, integrating evidence-based, advanced neurofeedback, and holistic recovery.
Since 2018, she and her team have supported over 600 clients, with measurable results.
"Your head controls everything. If it doesn't anymore,
Phew, that's so scary”
