Lof: Specialized Physiotherapy for Lymphedema, Lipedema, and Cancer Patients
Lof is a specialized physiotherapy clinic that provides expert care to clients suffering from lymphedema, lipedema, and cancer. With locations in Assen, Groningen, and Harkstede, Lof has become a trusted name in the field of oncology physiotherapy.
At Lof, we understand the unique challenges faced by those living with lymphedema or lipedema. These conditions can cause significant discomfort and impact daily life. Our team of experienced therapists is dedicated to providing personalized care that addresses each client's specific needs.
Our Approach
At Lof, we take a holistic approach to treatment. We believe that effective therapy requires more than just addressing physical symptoms; it also involves addressing emotional and psychological factors that may be contributing to the condition.
Our therapists work closely with each client to develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. This may include manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), compression therapy, exercise programs designed specifically for those with lymphatic disorders or cancer-related fatigue (CRF), education on self-care techniques such as skin care and bandaging techniques.
We also offer specialized treatments such as Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) which is considered the gold standard in treating lymphatic disorders like lymphoedema or lipoedeem. CDT combines MLD with compression bandaging followed by exercises aimed at improving muscle strength & flexibility while reducing swelling & pain.
Our Team
The team at Lof consists of highly trained professionals who are passionate about helping clients achieve optimal health outcomes. Our therapists have extensive experience working with patients suffering from various types of cancers including breast cancer survivors who often suffer from post-surgical complications like axillary web syndrome (AWS).
We are committed to ongoing professional development so our team stays up-to-date on the latest research and techniques in the field of oncology physiotherapy. This ensures that our clients receive the most effective and evidence-based care possible.
Our Facilities
At Lof, we believe that a comfortable and welcoming environment is essential to healing. Our clinics are designed with this in mind, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere where clients can feel at ease.
We use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that our clients receive the best possible care. Our facilities are equipped with specialized equipment such as compression pumps, bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) machines for measuring lymphatic fluid volume changes & muscle strength testing devices.
Our Commitment
At Lof, we are committed to providing exceptional care to each of our clients. We understand that living with lymphedema or lipedema can be challenging, but we believe that with the right treatment and support, it is possible to achieve optimal health outcomes.
We work closely with each client to develop an individualized treatment plan tailored specifically for their needs. Our goal is not just to manage symptoms but also improve quality of life by reducing pain & swelling while increasing mobility & function.
