Physiotherapy

From the Greek physis, “nature” and therapeia, “therapy”, physiotherapy (also known as physical therapy) uses a physical approach to “repair” damage caused by illness or injury, through traditional or ultra-modern techniques. Physiotherapy also helps patients who have experienced trauma, an accident or a disabling condition to make optimal use of their ability to move and function.

In detail

Our physiotherapists bring a wide range of expertise, thanks to which we can meet patient needs in areas as diverse as neurology, oncology, geriatric care and sports injury. Each year, all our therapists follow in-service training. This contributes to their professional development and ensures we stay at the cutting edge of physical therapy techniques and new technologies.

A multi-disciplinary geriatric evaluation therefore makes it possible to make a detailed assessment of the patient’s state of health and autonomy upon admission. A personalized care program adapted to his state of health will then be offered to the patient. The management of geriatric syndromes specific to elderly patients (confusion, sarcopenia, skin risk, risk of undernutrition, risk related to drug interactions, for example) is essential and requires teams trained and made aware of these issues. They make it possible to coordinate care, set realistic goals and ensure preparation for return home and avoid entry into nursing homes.

Occupational therapy

An occupational therapist is a health professional who focuses on the connection between activity and health. They are primarily concerned with activities of daily living (ADL)

In detail

The occupational therapist works on interactions between the patient’s motor skills, sensorial capacity, mental capacity and cognitive capacity, and their physical and social environment. They develop a personal programme that takes into account the individual’s capacities, environment, lifestyle and wishes, with emphasis on relearning skills and activities that are of special importance to the patient.

The patient and their family are at the heart of the programme, as only they know what they need in their day-to-day lives. The therapist adapts to each individual case to improve quality of life for the patient and their loved ones.

Aquatic therapy

Our therapy pool is fitted with a lift so that patients with limited mobility can safely access the water. Aquatic therapy is a useful complement to the patient’s regular therapy programme. For example, patients can gradually increase weight bearing through walking exercises in the pool. Water helps build muscle strength by providing resistance. Because it is an almost weightless environment, exercising in water also contributes to improved joint movement and neuromuscular facilitation. Warmer temperatures and massaging jets promote relaxation and drainage.

Sports therapy

Our experienced sports therapists are fully qualified to design programmes that take advantage of the clinic’s state-of-the-art equipment, including for post-injury rehabilitation, post-competition recovery, targeted physical preparation, preparation for competitions or when returning to sport.

Diet and nutrition

Denutrition remains a major problem for both older and younger patients in rehabilitation. Addressing this issue is essential to achieving optimal outcomes. Our resident dietitian assesses the patient’s condition and puts together a tailored diet plan.

Patient welfare

Patients who are experiencing personal or financial difficulties can talk with the clinic’s social worker at any time during their stay. Following an evaluation of their situation at the first meeting, the patient is offered individual support and guidance that respects their autonomy, in consultation with doctors, therapists and family members.

Neuro-psychology

The neuropsychologist uses validated psychometric tests to evaluate the extent and nature of cognitive (such as memory, attention or language), emotional and behavioural disorders that are linked to brain structures. This evaluation contributes to the patient diagnosis and, in certain cases, can be used to establish a neuropsychological rehabilitation programme.
