Therapy

Physiotherapy focuses on individual treatments of up to 60 minutes a day. After a lesion of the nervous system the patient has to redevelop lost function or has to economize affected movement patterns in order to pursue his daily living as independently as possible. Trained therapists guide the patient's learning process applying the current standard of knowledge.

Movement/Exercise Therapy:

• Treatment according to the Bobath concept: This therapy approach is individually oriented towards the resources of each patient and integrates all neurophysiological systems for the training of motor activities: motor skills, sensory functions, biomechanical considerations, perception, cognition, and emotion.
• Therapists use manual techniques as an add-on, topical therapy to treat muscle and joint dysfunction.
• Physiotherapists supervise device-based therapies, which offer themselves the opportunity for self-training. Some examples are bicycle ergometer, Motromed, rope pull, leg press, etc.

Aquatic Therapy:

• Based on the Halliwick® concept the physiotherapist performs a 10-point program with the patient in the water. Its focus is on familiarization with the water, breathing control, balance reactions, moving the body independently and the relearning of fundamental swimming movements (breaststroke/backstroke/crawl stroke).

Group therapy:

• Movement exercises in the water: The patients in a group of 4 have the possibility to carry out exercises tailored to their needs either independently or under the supervision of the physiotherapist.
• "Awareness through Movement”©: This is a group learning process to move effortlessly, with the least amount of force and to discover previously unused physical abilities of the body.
