Neurological rehabilitation is aimed at enabling you to function as independently as possible in your own environment. In doing so, use is made of your own qualities and the possibilities of the surroundings. You can come to Medifit rehabilitation centre for rehabilitation after a central or peripheral neurological disorder such as a CVA (cerebral haemorrhage, cerebral infarction, stroke), NAH (non-congenital brain injury) Parkinson, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or MS (multiple sclerosis).

Rehabilitation after a stroke, NAH, CVA, cerebral haemorrhage or cerebral infarction
CVA is the medical term for a stroke. It literally means ‘Cerebral Vascular Accident’: an accident in the blood vessels of the brain. One speaks of NAH (Non-congenital Brain Injury) when damage to the brain occurs later in life as a result of traumatic brain injury or non-traumatic brain damage. In a brain infarct, damage to brain tissue occurs as a result of the closure of a blood vessel (85%) or as a result of bleeding (15%).
After a stroke, you lose some of your independence. To regain it, you must relearn how to exercise your balance, coordination, muscle strength, standing and walking. Your ADL (Activities of Daily Living), memory and concentration should also be re-trained.
Intensive Rehabilitation after CVA/NAH
Have you had a CVA/NAH and can’t go home after being in hospital? Do you have an indication for intensive rehabilitation? Then you can be accepted at our rehabilitation centre MedifitReha. We provide rehabilitation according to the latest insights and your rehabilitation is entirely personalized.
We create tailor-made treatment programmes. These programmes are in accordance with the Dutch guidelines for rehabilitation medicine. However, we can offer more hours of individual rehabilitation than would be provided by a rehabilitation centre in your own country, at the same rates.
We ensure that your rehabilitation is carried out in the best possible way and in a pleasant atmosphere. This with the necessary care and therapy. After the rehabilitation period, 80% of our patients are able to live independently again.
Rehabilitation in Parkinson’s disease, MS, ALS and myopathy
In conditions such as: Parkinson’s, MS (multiple sclerosis), ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and myopathy, the motor functions slowly deteriorate. The medical treatment tries to slow down the progression of the disease as much as possible. Rehabilitation is aimed at maintaining the highest possible quality of life by: activating existing physical capabilities, preventing falls, preventing joint stiffness and muscle shortening, pain control, adapting the lifestyle to the motor limitations and providing adequate aids to continue functioning independently for as long as possible. The therapists’ treatments are carried out in close consultation with our neurologist, neuropsychologist, neurosurgeon, cardiologist, orthopaedist and rehabilitation specialist.
Recovery after peripheral nerve disorders
The damage to the peripheral nerves manifests itself in, among other things: loss of sensation, loss of strength, paralysis and walking disorders. Naturally, this will limit your independence. After diagnosis and referral by your attending physician, the rehabilitation specialist will propose an appropriate multidisciplinary rehabilitation programme including: physiotherapy, electroacupuncture, neuromodulation therapy, exercise training and occupational therapy. The orthopaedic technician will provide you with any aids you may need.

From the first moment that my wife Esther came to Spain to the last moment she was taken care of. Esther's recovery has been worked on both physically and spiritually and with success! We have never regretted it and will recommend it to anyone!
Mildred May, The Hague
I was made to feel very comfortable by the lovely caring therapists. I also stayed in a nice apartment where I got some rest. These 6 weeks have made me a lot stronger and more confident.
Chiel (Michael) & Aty Visser-Dekker, The Netherlands
Michael arrived in Moraira in a wheelchair and left with only a cane as a (temporary) support when walking. Far better than we had ever hoped for!
Debbie, the Netherlands
You can literally leave the daily worries at home and focus completely on your recovery, both mentally and physically. A great concept and great lovely people! I have a goal again and see the future a bit, it was zero for this adventure!

Really, what a fantastic rehabilitation center! Just got back 2.5 weeks after hip surgery. What a professional and lovely beautiful people! Highly recommended for anyone who gets "no" aftercare here, I recommend: go to Spain and Medifit ... health insurers reimburse this. Fantastic team!!
Jos Jansen, the Netherlands
I trained hard with the therapists for 8 weeks. As a result, I now have much more stamina. I also feel much better. The healthy air on the Costa Blanca has also helped.
