Rehabilitation for MS

Specialist therapy for greater independence and quality of life

At Medifit Reha, we offer a specialized rehabilitation program for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a chronic disorder of the central nervous system in which the myelin sheath becomes damaged, disrupting communication between the brain and body. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, trouble seeing, gait and movement disorders, loss of balance, loss of strength, stiffness or spasticity and bladder problems. Every journey is unique: some have temporary symptoms, others experience a progressive course.

Although MS cannot be cured, targeted treatment and rehabilitation can significantly improve your quality of life. Our goal is to help maintain or improve your mobility, energy and independence and increase your self-confidence.

Stay and rehabilitation in Medifit center Daniya

During the program you will stay on a full board basis at Medifit Center Daniya in Dénia, Spain. Here you will work on your recovery in a quiet and comfortable environment with modern exercise rooms, treatment rooms and a heated indoor pool. The standard program usually lasts six weeks, with intensive sessions from Monday to Friday. On weekends we organize excursions and you can relax in the wellness center.

The program is fully customized to your level and may include:

  • Neurological physical therapy for mobility, balance and gait training
  • Balance and coordination training on unstable surfaces
  • Energy and fatigue management to make better use of your reserves
  • Cognitive and neuropsychological training for memory, attention and emotion regulation
  • Hydrotherapy in a heated pool for strength and movement with less strain
  • Occupational therapy to maintain your independence in daily activities
  • Relaxation and mindfulness for stress management

For patients who have undergone a stem cell transplant (aHSCT), we offer an eight-week program based on specific zones of load capacity. Upon completion, you will receive a personalized online aftercare program with exercises and consultations to continue working on your recovery at home.



What makes our approach so successful?

Many people with MS think that improvement is no longer possible, but in our programs the opposite is often apparent. Thanks to our personalized program and multidisciplinary team, we often see the following results:

  • Increased strength and stability when walking and moving
  • Less fatigue and better energy balance
  • Greater independence in daily activities
  • More self-confidence and mental peace
  • Better control of muscle tension (spasticity)

This progress is achieved by working closely with our multidisciplinary team, which evaluates your progress weekly and adjusts the plan as needed.

Scientifically based MS rehabilitation program after aHSCT

Rehabilitation after aHSCT requires a carefully constructed training approach. At Medifit, we train within specific zones of load capacity, tailored to your current situation.

Duration of the program

Before your arrival, an online intake interview will take place. The stay at our centre usually lasts six to eight weeks, depending on your personal situation and recovery goals. During this period, we carry out all necessary assessments, determine your functional level, and start the therapies.
At the end of the program, we prepare you for your return home. Afterwards, you will receive a personalised online aftercare program so you can continue working on your recovery from home.

Reimbursements

The pulmonary rehabilitation program is a private treatment. Whether your treatment is reimbursed depends on your health insurance provider. Individual treatments may be eligible for reimbursement by private health insurers. Not all private health insurers cover this treatment.
