Physiotherapy Practice Pauline Baars
Pauline does research and treat the musculoskeletal system in two ways:
- Active: through exercise therapy in the fitness area, to make the muscle-ligament system stronger and more durable.
- Passive: via friction and pressure points and through advice to relieve muscle and ligament tissues. Lymph drainage and sports massage techniques are also used to improve the recovery.
Edema therapy
Pauline is, as one of the few within Wassenaar, specialized edema physiotherapist. Edema is excessive accumulation of fluid in the body. This can be caused by chronic venous insufficiency, leaving moisture in the feet and lower legs. Edema can also be caused by defects in the lymphatic system, infections or wound fluid as a result of surgery. With edema physiotherapy, fluid retention within the musculoskeletal system is remedied or kept stable.
It consists of:
- Compression therapy.
- Targeted exercises that improve drainage in a natural way, without medication.
- Manual lymphatic drainage, a specific form of massage that can drain the lymph fluid 3-8 times faster.
