Multiple SclerosisFor many years, our staff has been highly specialized in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. In our Multiple Sclerosis Treatment Program, patients receive up to 6individualized therapy sessions per day (30 to 45 minutes per session) to achieve their rehabilitation goals. The therapy programs are tailored to the patient and planned together with the patient and their family. Stroke RecoveryTime is of the essence in stroke rehabilitation. The first few months after a stroke offer a unique window of opportunity when the brain is most receptive to healing and adaptation. Acting quickly can make a significant difference in restoring movement, speech and cognition, while delays can make recovery more difficult. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, our early rehabilitation unit maybe the best place to start your rehabilitation. We recognize that the severity of a stroke and its complications vary greatly from person to person. Our holistic approach combines world-class medical expertise with a comprehensive range of therapies, all under one roof in our private clinic. Each patient benefits from a personalized treatment plan developed by our dedicated team of neurologists, therapists and rehabilitation specialists to ensure the best possible outcome. Parkinson’s DiseaseOur Parkinson's Center offers a comprehensive rehabilitation program tailored to Parkinson's patients. A specialized team of physicians, nurses, and therapists with many years of experience in treating Parkinson's patients will welcome you. The goals of inpatient treatment are to improve quality of life, achieve lasting control of key symptoms such as slowness of movement or muscle tension, manage activities of daily living, improve safety of movement, and achieve targeted control of accompanying symptoms. We assess your individual needs and treatment goals with the involvement of your family. Early RehabilitationAfter treatment in an acute hospital, early neurological rehabilitation enables our patients to train their everyday skills at an early stage. If the patient's condition still requires close medical monitoring, our patients benefit from the many years of experience and extensive expertise of Rehaklinik Zihlschlacht. Our interdisciplinary team of doctors, therapists, nurses, social workers and chaplains work closely together and apply proven therapy concepts. We use state-of-the-art therapy equipment such as technology-assisted standing and gait therapy and video endoscopic examinations. Furthermore, electrical stimulation is used to improve swallowing function. A key component of early rehabilitation is weaning patients off the ventilator. Our specially trained team educates patients and relatives in this stressful situation. This is part of our holistic approach.
