Therapies
Rehabilitation only achieves first-rate outcomes if the various dimensions of health integrity and disability are systematically taken into account for every patient. This is why we pool the expertise of our rehabilitation specialists from the most diverse fields to obtain an interprofessional rehabilitation concept that is consistently based on individual needs. In this process, job descriptions such as physiotherapist and occupational therapist merge into “spinal cord injury therapist” and, drawing on state-of-the-art robotics and extensive cooperation with other leading institutions, we extend our leadership in this area every single day.
Outpatient therapies
Our therapists offer you specific therapeutic advice and treatment based on your individual situation and treatment goals. We support you as you achieve the greatest possible freedom of movement and independence. We adapt procedures and interventions to your requirements. We plan therapy in close cooperation with the attending doctors.
