Ergotherapy

Our ergotherapists work with patients to help them become as independent as possible or improve or retain their independence when performing everyday activities such as maintaining personal hygiene, eating, getting around and communicating at home, school, work and in their leisure time.

Ergotherapy enables patients to resume important activities, quickly reintegrate into the world of work or discover new activities. Reducing pain and increasing patients' ability to perform tasks improve their well-being and, accordingly, their quality of life. By training their physical and cognitive functions, patients are able to participate in everyday life. Making a detailed record of a patient's restrictions that have been caused by an illness or accident enables the ergotherapists to put together an individually tailored rehabilitation programme.

As part of ergotherapy, modern computer-aided processes are used to train cognitive capability and motor skills.

As an additional option, gardening therapy complements the range of modern rehabilitation methods. Regardless of symptoms and existing gardening knowledge, patients who are interested in participating can work in the garden under the guidance of a therapist. Gardening enables physical and cognitive functions to be trained, assistive devices to be tested and the progress that has been made during therapy to be consolidated.
