OncoCare Center

Information for Referring Physicians

Physiotherapy Health Centers Haarlemmermeer is affiliated with the Onco Care Center, a network of collaborating BIG-registered disciplines in the region.


De oncologie fysiotherapeut behandelt, begeleidt en geeft advies aan patienten met kanker of restklachten na kanker. Specifieke klachten als gevolg van de kanker of de behandeling daarvan kunnen zijn: pijn, vermoeidheid, verminderde spierkracht, verminderd uithoudingsvermogen of bewegingsbeperking in één of meerdere gewrichten. De behandeling is dus niet gericht op de kanker zelf, maar op de gevolgen van deze ziekte. Indien nodig, kan er binnen de praktijk samen gewerkt worden met de manueel therapeut, schouder fysiotherapeut, oedeem fysiotherapeut of kaak fysiotherapeut of psychosomatische fysio- en/of oefentherapeut. Daarnaast is er een multidisciplinaire samenwerking met onder andere ergotherapie, diëtetiek, podotherapie, psycholoog en de thuiszorg organisatie Bloezem en Amstelring betrokken. 


Nikkie de Haan, Cheryl Brunt en Doris Matlock zijn fysiotherapeuten, gespecialiseerd op Oedeem en Oncologie, en zijn de casemanagers bij het Onco Care Centrum voor de locatie Hoofddorp.
