Neurorehabilitation
Neurorehabilitation for adults after brain injury, stroke and spinal injury – in the setting of a modern gym, not a hospital. We believe in the plasticity of the brain and make use of every bit of remaining potential. We are more than physiotherapy: we are a gym for wheelchair users and for people who want to return to a full life.
Who neurorehabilitation at RehaGym is for
- Adults of working age after brain injury – after a car accident, sports injury, fall or other trauma (traumatic brain injury, TBI).
- People after stroke and after other conditions that have damaged the brain.
- Wheelchair users after spinal injury who want to train, not just maintain.
- Anyone looking for a respectful, sensitive and professional approach on the way back to a full life – we see the invisible injuries too.
Neurorehabilitation is the core of the RE.LIFE programme. Unlike conventional outpatient rehabilitation, it takes place in a barrier-free gym, where physiotherapy is directly followed by training with a movement therapist, occupational therapy, massage, psychotherapy and nutrition counselling – with a rehabilitation physician overseeing the whole process.
How we work and what we believe in
We combine physiotherapy, neurorehabilitation and the movement principles of psychomotor development.With respect for the plasticity of the brain and the specifics of post-injury conditions. The foundation is individual physiotherapy exercise (including BTL electrotherapy), followed by group exercise – connection with other clients and social involvement. A rehabilitation physician oversees the whole process.
Through conscious breathing, proprioception, stability and rhythm. A movement therapist and personal trainer work in a gym equipped for wheelchair users too (barrier-free access, adapted pulley system).
We draw inspiration from psychomotor development so that you rediscover the basic movement patterns – the RE.CODE® geometry of movement.
Intensive upper-limb rehabilitation, self-care training, memory and other cognitive training, assistive devices and adaptations to the home environment.
Massage to release muscle spasms, red light therapy (photobiomodulation), vibroacoustic resonance, breathing and heart-rate variability work, sleep hygiene and setting biorhythms.
A psychotherapist and development coach help with accepting the situation, relationships and returning to work. A nutrition adviser sets a plan against both excess weight and malnutrition. We connect body, mind, emotions and relationships.
How admission to care works
1. First contact. Get in touch yourself, or family, friends or a foundation can write on your behalf. We will arrange a personal meeting at RehaGym.
2. Personal meeting. Together we go through your situation – state of health, support at home, time options and funding. The programme can be paid for with your own resources, through discounted club membership, or with the support of foundations and donors.
3. Examination by a rehabilitation physician and a psychotherapist. We will need your existing medical reports. The rehabilitation physician decides on the composition of care: physiotherapy, neurorehabilitation, occupational therapy, coaching, nutrition and, where needed, follow-up therapies outside RehaGym.
4. You become part of RehaGym. You get your own guide (a "buddy") who will most often look after you at RehaGym, and an individual plan of services for the month and for the whole period of care.
5. Ongoing evaluation. Progress is monitored by the rehabilitation physician and the other specialists. At the end of our journey together there should be visible improvement in your condition and involvement in everyday life – and the door stays open, even in the role of mentor for other clients.
Practical facilities: garage parking, barrier-free access and facilities, the option to borrow a smaller wheelchair at the clinic and store your own, trained staff. Your companion can be with you in the gym or use the café on the 3rd floor.
Forms of care
The composition and intensity are determined by the rehabilitation physician according to your condition and goals.A physiotherapist or movement therapist one-to-one, typically 2–3 times a week for 50 minutes. Complemented by massage after exercise, electrotherapy and red light therapy.
Groups of 2–4 clients led by a movement therapist – social involvement and mutual motivation. A session can also be led by a mentor with their own experience of disability.
An alternative to spa treatment: several weeks of daily care where neurorehabilitation, occupational therapy, training, recovery and psychological support meet in one place. In June 2026 we ran the first three-week BOOT CAMP for active wheelchair users.
Lasting change takes more than determination at the start. Motivational programmes with challenges, shared activities and community support help you keep going and find joy in your own progress.
Carers need support too: consultations with a psychologist, relaxation massage, red light therapy and the café as a base while the client is in therapy.
