Many people ask us where to look after them.
Unfortunately, there is still little expertise in this area. It can therefore unfortunately be that getting (the right) care is difficult. But caregivers without specific expertise can also mean a lot. Refer your healthcare provider to the information on our website. The right information at the right care provider can be crucial to a process regardless of whether there is expertise or not. Many healthcare professionals want to learn, but they lack the handles and information. If you have any questions, healthcare providers may also contact us.
Because of the many questions we have an overview* made of healthcare professionals from different disciplines throughout the Netherlands:

Physical therapy:
Unfortunately, we have no (yet) physiotherapists with this expertise in our file.
In case of lung problems due to premature birth, a lung physiotherapist can be helpful. They are trained to treat various lung diseases.
In many cases a psychosomatic physical or exercise therapist may be helpful. They are trained to treat physical complaints caused or aggravated by stress and emotions. They have no expertise on early birth, but many complaints from adult prematures overlap with other common stress-related complaints.

Unfortunately, we do not have (yet) ergotherapists with this expertise in our file.

Logopedia:
Unfortunately, we do not (yet) have a logopedist with this expertise in our file.
A logopedist examines, advises and treats people who experience problems in terms of voice, speech, language, hearing and swallowing.
We know that there are preverbal logopedists, but as far as we know they only treat young children.

Somatic experiencing:
We hear a lot of stories aboutSomatic experiencing (SE). This method pertains to the completion of natural reactions to profound events and the understanding of feelings of impotence and despair. Due to unprocessed traumatic experiences, the natural rhythm, the regulation of the nervous system, is disturbed. Resilience is decreasing. This can lead to all kinds of physical, emotional and psychological complaints. By integrating that stored survival energy you restore the original vitality and resilience.
This method may be helpful, there is some knowledge and expertise about preverbal events within this method. There are a few cases known about early birth. However, this is different per therapist whether this knowledge is present or not. We do advise to work with a BIG-registered therapist, preferably someone with a physical or practice-therapeutic background.
