Physiotherapy

The best-possible recovery of the patient's mobility is the central objective of neurological rehabilitation. In severe cases of paralysis the physiotherapeutic approach aims at step-by-step mobilization in a sitting position, improved head control and finally the isolated movement of paralysed groups of muscles in a variety of initial positions.

Recovery from paralytic conditions usually takes a long time. In the case of patients who have suffered a stroke many long weeks of inpatient rehabilitation are often needed before the patient recovers the ability to walk.

The clinic has a great variety of methods for treating motoric disorders. Walk-training and running-track therapy with partial support to relieve the patient’s body weight allow even severely inflicted patients to practice walking and bring faster results than the conservative methods.

In cases of ataxia (imbalance) a special training device, the Balance Master, can be employed.

The very well qualified physiotherapists have a wide range of professional capabilities and specialist know-how. Due to cooperating with medical retailers, the clinic has a wide spectrum of auxiliary material and remedial equipment at its disposal, which can be adapted to the special needs of the patient, fitted and tested - all in the clinic.

Physical therapy

The clinic has a variety of massage techniques, electrical treatments, tub baths and hydropathic applications to choose from. Lymphatic drainage in particular is of great importance in the treatment of paralysed arms and legs. With this and with special compression bandages, the extremities affected can be drained of excess water in the tissues. The restorative effect of baths with natural essences and oils, natural mud packs, electrotherapy with ointment application for the tissues and pain treatment by interference regulation therapy is only a small sample within the wide range of treatments applicable in this area.
