Physiotherapy

What can we solve?

Our department offers rehabilitation care for a wide range of conditions. We focus on stroke recovery, carefully choosing the right approach according to the extent of the disability. With subsequent rehabilitation, we support the return of brain function and prevent the development of complications. We rehearse daily activities with the patient, or train speech. We try to improve self-sufficiency and return to the previous lifestyle.

We teach patients how to rehabilitate properly after spondylosurgery. According to the patient’s possibilities, we try to start rehabilitation early. We carefully choose the right procedures and attend to each individual.

We treat patients with central and peripheral paresis and plegia of various causes. We always aim for the maximum possible mobility within the given diagnosis.

Patients after various types of injuries (fractures, amputations) can also visit us. We will teach you how to use compensatory aids. If necessary, we will practice normal daily activities that lead to self-sufficiency.

We also attend to orthopaedic patients after joint replacements (total or partial), rheumatic diseases and any degenerative diseases.

You can also come as part of prevention. Back pain and musculoskeletal pain in general is a disease of civilization. You can aggravate them by improper exercise. An experienced physiotherapist will teach you how to exercise properly.

Interventions performed

Our primary method of treatment is the so-called therapeutic physical education (LTV). The range of exercises is determined on the basis of an initial examination by a physiotherapist and aims to prevent, improve or modify the body’s functions.

In LTV, we exercise with patients on labile surfaces that help engage the muscles of the whole body and make exercise more effective. LTV also includes active and passive movements, conditioning exercises and last but not least, breathing rehabilitation, which is a supportive treatment for respiratory diseases.

Methods used

You can meet us for example with postisometric relaxation, which is a combination of manual therapy and rehabilitation. This method seeks to eliminate muscle spasms and relieve overloaded muscle fibres.

We also use so-called soft techniques designed to treat the skin, muscles, tendons and subcutaneous tissue. Soft techniques include stretching, stroking, pressure and draping. Although they may resemble massage techniques, they are not the same method.

You will also encounter massage techniques in our clinic. We provide reflexology, sports and restorative massage. There is also manual lymphatic drainage.

LTV, soft techniques and massages can be further supported by kinesiotaping and yoga lessons with an experienced teacher.
