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.

Klinische revalidatie

Allereerst komt in de klinische fase de zelfredzaamheid aan de orde: wassen, aankleden, tandenpoetsen, scheren en veilig naar het toilet gaan. Het spreekt voor zich dat u zich moet kunnen verplaatsen voordat we met deze training kunnen beginnen.

Is looptraining nodig? Heeft u een rollator of rolstoel nodig? De behandeling richt zich op de basisvoorwaarden voor een zelfstandig leven. Als iemand met de nodige hulp veilig in zijn eigen huis kan wonen en aanpassingen zijn geregeld, kan de revalidatie poliklinisch worden voortgezet.

You can literally leave your daily worries at home and fully focus on your recovery, both mentally and physically. A wonderful concept and wonderfully kind people! I have a goal again and feel a bit more positive about the future; before this adventure, that was completely absent!

After two knee surgeries in one year, I took the step to rehabilitate at Medifit Reha in Spain. The team of therapists and trainers took excellent care of me. In four weeks' time, they helped me so that I can now walk, climb stairs and cycle properly again. The collaboration between the highly skilled doctors and therapists is fantastic, which made me feel like I was always the center of attention as a patient. The high-quality care in a human environment ensured that I was able to make great progress in my rehabilitation. Thank you!

Medifit, a rehabilitation center where you get the care you need. A great team, Anna, Gerard, Marjolein, Maria, Jef, and Monique. These people give you a boost of positive vitamins. I have made great progress, recommended for anyone who needs care. Thank you! Much love and health to all of you.

Bert, Huizingh

To everyone who contributed to my recovery: for that I am very grateful. The enthusiasm and passion for the profession are bursting forth. Added to that the personal attention and your eye for the circumstances from day to day make me feel I have to leave some friends behind. So hereby special thanks to Ana, José, Maria, Marjolein and to you for your guidance! Should it come to further (medical) treatment/rehabilitation of the deficiencies in my left foot that you have identified, I will certainly do my best to return under the wings of Medifit!

My rehabilitation stay at MedifitReha in Dénia was exactly what I needed. Living with MS means dealing not only with physical limitations but also emotional challenges - and at MedifitReha, I felt supported in both areas.

The program is intensive, highly professional, and personalized. I trained for three, sometimes four hours a day, five days a week - always adapted to my capabilities. This level of intensity, care, and focus is simply not possible at home in the Netherlands. Yet it never felt overwhelming.
The team knew exactly how to challenge me in the right way.

I noticed real improvements: more strength, increased muscle mass, better balance, and most importantly - more confidence in my body. I also learned to accept certain limitations, which gave me peace of mind. After all, everyone has limitations - some due to illness, others due to age or life circumstances.

The daily hydrotherapy was particularly helpful - training in warm water allowed me to move freely and safely, without fear of falling. It was the perfect way to work on my balance and core stability. I also enjoyed the cognitive training with the VR headset - it was fun and playful, yet challenging at the same time.

Another important part of the program was the psychological support.

Your organization and treatment center is not only distinguished by its medical knowledge, but above all by the dedication and inspiring support of the extremely experienced employees.

“The hospital is immaculate, the Medifit staff are outstanding, and the overall treatment is better than anything I’ve experienced back home.”

From the first moment my wife Esther arrived in Spain until the very end, she received superb care. Both physically and mentally, they worked on Esther's recovery - and with success! We haven't regretted it for a moment and would truly recommend it to everyone!

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!

Nanda, The Netherlands

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!!

I trained intensively with the therapists for 8 weeks. As a result, I now have much more endurance. I also feel much better. The healthy air at the Costa Blanca has also helped significantly.

Karin , Takes

Wauwww surely proud of myself but especially of all of you. The warm feeling when I think back I keep holding on to. Courage, strength, confidence and zest for life all fantastic gifts I was able to receive from your top team....

Sean,

“One of the best things about getting knee surgery in Spain is the Physio. I started a few days after surgery and had two physio sessions a day for five days. That level of care makes such a difference in recovery, and you’d really struggle to get that anywhere else. The fact that even the physio sessions are fully reimbursed makes it even better. Plus, the team are excellent, and their English is just as good as mine!”

Janine , Vorstenbosch

What an amazing experience it was and it brought me a lot. 8 weeks of rehabilitation both physically and mentally. In the setting of a very nice care hotel, where I really lacked nothing. Where I could relax in addition to the daily exercise and training. A bonus was meeting fellow sufferers. Many beautiful conversations in the evening on the terrace.

Margaret, Ireland

“The attention to detail is second to none. Everyone I met—from the drivers to the doctors to the physio team—was absolutely fantastic. They take care of you from start to finish.” “Recovery has been brilliant. Five days post-surgery, and I already feel stronger. The physio started immediately, and they guide you through every step. Even before I left the hospital, they had exercises planned for me. I never expected to feel this good so soon.”

Ita, Ireland

“The care was unbelievable—no waiting lists, no being left on a trolley, no rushed appointments. The doctors took every precaution, the physio team was fantastic, and the hospital was immaculate. The staff knew me, remembered my case, and treated me like a person, not a number.”

Ann, Ireland

“I was due to fly home after a week, but I extended my stay to get extra physio. The extra physio is reimbursed and the standard is second to none.”

Marije, Netherlands

At HCB Medifit, I knew from the first moment that I was in good hands, both literally and figuratively. What wonderful people. There is a lot of knowledge and expertise, but above all, genuine attention and careful coordination. For me, the other great strength of the PCS program lies in the combination of different treatments. What especially helped me in this was that all components were focused on both training and improving the physical aspect (namely the complaints I experience) as well as how I can deal with them.
