Occupational therapists help patients to regain or improve self-dependence in everyday social and work life. For an optimal therapy success, the active participation of patients is required.

Sports scientists

Sports science is a discipline that studies how the healthy human body works during exercise, and how sport and physical activity promote health.

The therapy aims to improve the physical functions when suffering e. g. cardiovascular, lung or metabolic diseases.

With the help of sports scientists, endurance, strength, coordination and mobility are increased. For an optimal training, sports scientists calculate the individual heart rate of each patient. Additionally, sports scientists give lectures and workshops to teach patients about optimal training and its effects on health.

Social worker

The social worker's role is to provide help and support for patients after their rehabilitation stay. Due to diseases, many patients cannot continue their work, have financial problems or need homecare.

Together with the patients, our social worker analyses the situation and offers solutions for the time when they return home.

Dietitian

Our dietitians give nutritional advise to our patients. In lectures, they teach the basics of a healthy nutrition. In face-to-face counselling they develop individual nutrition plans based on the patients' needs.

Dietitians help and support our patients to integrate a healthy nutrition into everyday life. Additionally, patients with metabolic diseases learn in the teaching kitchen alternative ways to prepare food and to reduce calories and fat.
