Neurological rehabilitation

Rehabilitation of neurological disorders

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.

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.

"I felt heard and understood from day one. Now I can go grocery shopping and hiking with my partner by myself again."

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!

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.

David,

”The physio is intense—but unbelievable. Just a few days after surgery, I couldn’t believe how much progress I had made.”

Mildred May, The Hague

I felt very comfortable thanks to the kind and caring therapists. I also stayed in a beautiful apartment where I could relax. These 6 weeks have made me much stronger and more confident.

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!

“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.”

"The rehabilitation was intensive, but the results are fantastic. Less fatigue and much more energy."

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! Far better than we had ever hoped for!

Debbie, Netherlands

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!

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!!

Ab , Muller

My name is Ab with years of experience with Medifit.

First time was October 2015 after knee prosthesis from HCB Benidorm to Benitachell: it was wonderful!
Second time January 2018: was for back surgery at HCB and another stay in Benitachell!
Third time August 2021 after my wife's long admission to HCB, 2 months rehabilitation in Moraira / Benitachell.
Fourth time and hopefully the last time! November 2023 for a hip prosthesis in the new HCB Denia and since November 6th rehabilitating at Hotel Danyia in Denia with Medifit.

In my opinion, the best formula for rehabilitation so far! Amazing help from Ray with transport from the hospital. Nothing seems too much for him, and that's been true all these years (I've known him since 2015). Very kind help from him and the Medifit ladies upon arrival. Everything is considered to make you as comfortable as possible. Being able to get food independently is a huge improvement. Help if needed from Medifit also on-site five days a week. Physical therapy that is very personal and patient, but also experienced - I find it wonderful and professional. To conclude, I think Medifit with this formula (four days admission for hip or knee surgery) and then 3 weeks of rehabilitation in a beautiful location with absolutely everything you need, has succeeded in thinking about the person behind the patient... Bravo... Bravo... Bravo! With my thanks to the amazing team at Medifit, I now conclude and wish all new patients for hip or knee prostheses this wonderful experience, despite the initial discomfort (which is just part of the process). Kind regards, Ab

“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.”

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!”

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....

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.
