TYPES OF REHABILITATION IN SWITZERLAND

Often, for example, after spinal injuries or strokes, the patient loses some skills and literally begins to learn everything all over again. A lot depends on which specialists will be nearby at this moment. The staff of Swiss clinics, including the attendants, impeccably follows all the recommendations and conditions of the rehabilitation plan. The success of rehabilitation treatment is monitored regularly, sometimes daily. The results of this approach are successful restoration of health even after the most complex procedures.
Patients often turn to Swiss clinics in the following areas:
Rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system
