Rehabilitation center

The rehabilitation center specializes in providing comprehensive care and therapy to people recovering from (serious) illnesses, injuries or surgeries. Our main goal is to help you regain your functional abilities, improve your quality of life and increase your independence.

What can we help you with?

After an operation, accident or illness, your body may no longer work as it should. You may be hindered in daily or professional activities. Our rehabilitation doctors are specialized in helping you get back on your feet. On referral from a rehabilitation doctor, you can visit our outpatient rehabilitation center. Here our team will work with you to minimize the negative impact or start compensating for it through the right therapy and tools.

Through multidisciplinary cooperation between rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and psychologists, among others, we can offer you the best possible customized therapy. Your rehabilitation is always done in close consultation with the doctor(s) treating you.

Who works in our team?

The speech therapists provide therapy to adults with speech and language problems (aphasia, word finding problems, dysarthria), swallowing problems (dysphagia), voice problems, facial paralysis and cognitive rehabilitation. In addition to therapy, they also provide patient safety through swallow screenings in patients who have impaired swallowing function. Thus, together with the dieticians, they ensure safe and appropriate nutrition.

Our occupational therapists guide you in regaining your functionality. You will be guided with specific customized exercise therapy and, if necessary, together we will look for the right tool to achieve as much independence as possible.

Through exercise therapy and/or manual techniques, the physical therapist treats and guides you through various conditions that can be both acute or chronic. The different specializations among our physical therapists are: orthopedic rehabilitation with sports rehabilitation or manual therapy, internal rehabilitation (breathing techniques, heart, lung, metabolism), neurological rehabilitation, children and mental health. We always pair the most appropriate physical therapist with each patient.

Psyche and physic go hand in hand. Stress, fretting or poor sleep often result in physical complaints. For this we offer group sessions that center around certain themes. Sometimes an individual program may be started or the partner/family may be involved in the rehabilitation. This can all happen with our psychologists. They, together with the occupational therapist, also provide memory screenings.
