01 / YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE
More focus on what matters to you
MS can affect people in different ways. Walking, getting dressed or managing a busy day may require more effort than before.
Rehabilitation focuses on how you function in daily life. Your goals can be practical and personal: moving more confidently, managing your energy or finding a different way to complete an important task.
02 / IS THIS FOR YOU?
Support for your stage of MS
Your diagnosis is only one part of the picture. Your current function, symptoms and priorities help guide the assessment.
01
Changes in mobility
You would like support with walking, balance, strength or confidence when moving.
02
Fatigue in daily life
You want to explore how pacing, rest and an adapted activity plan can support your everyday routine.
03
Changing needs
Your abilities or circumstances have changed, and you would like to review your rehabilitation goals.
People with different forms of MS can discuss the programme with our team. Suitability is assessed individually before a stay is planned.
03 / YOUR GOALS
Practical goals. Personal meaning.
Together, we identify what you would like to work towards. Your programme may focus on one or more of these areas.
01
Mobility and balance
Practise movement and balance tasks relevant to the activities you want to do.
02
Strength and endurance
Work on physical capacity with exercise adapted to your abilities and tolerance.

Managing your energy

Confidence in movement
Build familiarity with strategies, exercises or aids appropriate to your needs.
06
Continuing at home
Discuss how to carry useful strategies and exercises into your routine after your stay.
Progress varies from person to person. Goals are reviewed and adjusted around your health, response and priorities.
04 / YOUR REHABILITATION
A coordinated approach to your care
An individual assessment helps the team understand your needs and agree priorities. Your plan may include neurological physiotherapy, balance and gait work, adapted exercise and strategies for managing fatigue.
The therapies selected, their intensity and the time allocated to rest depend on your assessment. The focus is on a structured programme that is appropriate for you.

Your MS programme at Medifit Altea

A setting for your rehabilitation
08 / AFTER HSCT
Planning rehabilitation after HSCT
If you have undergone autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT), tell our team when you first get in touch.
Rehabilitation planning needs to take account of your recovery stage and the advice of your transplant team. Ask about a separate assessment before deciding on the timing of a stay.
09 / YOUR QUESTIONS
Before you plan your stay
People with different forms of MS can discuss rehabilitation with our team. Suitability depends on your current health, function, support needs and goals. The assessment comes before confirming a programme.
The focus is on daily function and quality of life. Your goals may relate to movement, balance, fatigue or everyday activities. The team will discuss realistic priorities with you; outcomes vary.
Ask our team about the recommended duration for your situation. Programme length, schedule and cost should be confirmed in your individual proposal before you book.
Your MS rehabilitation takes place at Medifit Altea, Spain. Ask about room options, accessibility, assistance and what is included in your stay.
Tell us if you would like to travel with someone. Our team can explain accommodation options, availability and any additional costs.
Rehabilitation supports daily function and works alongside your ongoing medical care. It is not a cure for MS or a replacement for the treatment prescribed by your neurologist.
Tell the team about heat sensitivity during your assessment. Activity, rest and the environment need to be considered when planning rehabilitation.
Start by telling us about your diagnosis, your current challenges and what you would like to work towards. The team will explain which reports or other medical information are needed.
