Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is part of the interprofessional team and, after a thorough initial examination, is carried out methodically according to predetermined goals, our internal approach and further recognised methods. In addition to goal-oriented therapeutic interventions in individual and group situations, individually developed independent training, where possible, constitutes an important supplement to physical therapy.

• gait analysis according to O.G.I.G
• robot-assisted therapy
• wheelchair use
• wheelchair adjustment according to B. Engström
