Specialists in movement development and control
After your operation, our physiotherapy and massage specialists will be at your disposal. The aim is to provide good support for the healing process. Physio techniques help to heal impairments of the musculoskeletal system, alleviate damage to the nervous system and diseases of the internal organs. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy also provide support in the treatment of psychological problems. In other words, physiotherapy and occupational therapy make an important contribution to healing across all specialist areas – always depending on the condition of the individual patient, of course.
The primary goal is to promote recovery and restore health. Occupational therapists in particular support patients in regaining or maintaining the greatest possible independence in everyday, school and professional life. If this is not 100% possible, physiotherapists and occupational therapists support and advise those affected and their relatives in dealing with new life situations in the best possible way.
The professional care team is at your disposal around the clock. We are happy to fulfill individual wishes in order to work together on a speedy recovery. The emergency facilities in the room guarantee round-the-clock medical care.
In addition to the medical services provided by the Ritzensee Private Clinic, physiotherapy treatments are available after operations to support healing during the inpatient stay. Chaplains are also available on request.
Accompanying persons can stay overnight in the patient’s room on request.
