Neurological rehabilitation

Switzerland is a global leader in providing advanced neurological rehabilitation, offering international patients the opportunity to recover and regain their independence in one of the world’s most renowned healthcare systems.

Neurological rehabilitation is a specialised form of therapy designed to help patients recover from neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.

This multidisciplinary approach involves physical, occupational, and speech therapy, alongside psychological support, to improve function, mobility, and quality of life.

Our neurological rehabilitation centres provide leading-edge services to restore or maintain speech, memory, thinking and mobility skills, affected by brain disorders.

Treatments available

In neurological rehabilitation, several therapies are used to address a wide range of conditions affecting the nervous system, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Therapies are personalised to meet individual needs and may include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, neuropsychology and speech therapy. During neurological rehabilitation programmes, each patient follows personalised therapies to regain function and an enhanced quality of life.

Stroke

A stroke is a sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain. Common stroke symptoms include speaking difficulties, weakness on one side of the body and balance issues.

Stroke Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy: Helps to regain movement, improve balance, and enhance coordination.
Occupational Therapy: Focuses on regaining daily activity autonomy e.g.: dressing and cooking.
Neuropsychology: Aims to restore cognitive (memory and attention) functions.
Speech Therapy: Helps improve speech and communication, as well as swallowing.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple sclerosis is a condition affecting the brain and nervous system. It occurs when the immune system attacks a protective cover on nerve wires, disrupting brain to body signals. This can generate movement difficulties, unusual sensations, fatigue and pain.

Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy: Maintains joint mobility, motor function, coordination, posture, and core stability. It aims to improve gait and mobility.
Occupational Therapy: Helps maintain autonomy in daily activities, teaches safe transfer techniques and improves sensory issues and coordination. This includes writing exercises and home environment adaptations.
Tailored Physical Activity Program: Helps manage exertion and fatigue while stimulating coordination through activities such as pilates, basketball, aerobics, and dance.
Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: Focuses on improving memory skills, executive functions and attention disorders. This is achieved through cognitive games, computer software, and paper-and-pencil exercises.
Speech and Language Therapy: Concentrates on boosting speech, voice, and swallowing functions. It includes different vocal exercises and techniques, food therapy along with alternative communication methods for improved social interaction.

While there is no cure for MS, the above rehabilitation therapies can significantly help individuals to manage their symptoms, preserve autonomy and improve overall well-being.

Parkinson's Disease

This is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the lack of dopamine, a neurotransmitter. It leads to the following symptoms: muscle stiffness, slow movements and/or tremors.

Parkinson's Disease Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy: Maintains muscle function, balance and mobility
Occupational Therapy: Aids in daily tasks and reduces tremors
Neuropsychology: Focuses on memory, attention and executive functions
Speech Therapy: Improves speech, voice and swallowing
