Physiotherapy
Department
About Us
Physiotherapy helps patients regain the ability to move independently in the ways that matter most to them, whether that’s walking on their own, standing steadily, or safely moving through their home and community. Treatment often includes rebuilding strength, balance, and coordination, along with gait and functional movement training, pain management, and improving range of motion, all in service of real daily function, not isolated exercises.
Our Physiotherapy Department works in close collaboration with physicians, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and other specialists, ensuring therapy is not just about clinical progress but about restoring genuine independence. Every patient’s path is different, and our team is here to help chart it.
Guiding Principles
Personalized
Care
Together with our physiotherapists, we assess each patient’s functional status and work step by step toward maximum independence in movement and mobility — from foundational skills like transfers and sitting-to-standing balance, to more advanced skills like walking, managing stairs, and building the endurance needed for daily activity.
Professional and
Human Excellence
Our physiotherapy team brings years of experience treating a wide range of injuries and disabilities, across diverse ages and medical conditions. The team continuously advances its expertise through courses, study days, and professional training, and works in close coordination with other health and medical disciplines.
Continuity
of Care
Patients transitioning from inpatient to day hospitalization continue working in the same physiotherapy rooms with the same familiar team, maintaining uninterrupted progress along their personalized rehabilitation plan. We also build structured home exercise programs for each patient, so that progress continues even outside the clinic. We place great importance on equipping every patient with the tools and habits they need to return to community life with confidence and capability.
Advanced Equipment and Technology
Patients train in newly equipped, comfortable treatment rooms using the most advanced technologies available, including:
Anti-Gravity Treadmill:
Lets patients practice walking and running with their body weight safely reduced, so they can rebuild confidence and range before they’re ready to bear full weight.
Balance Tutor Treadmill:
Trains reactive balance through controlled, multidirectional perturbations while patients are secured in a safety harness, so they can recover from real-world stumbles and slips with confidence and without risk of falling.
Blazepods
An app-controlled system of illuminated pods that creates customized exercise programs to improve reaction time, movement accuracy, balance, hand-eye and foot coordination, and cognitive skills including attention and concentration.
Specialized Treatments
Based on each patient’s individual needs, we offer specialized interventions requiring advanced training:
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Targeted treatment for the pelvic floor muscles that improves bladder and bowel control, reduces pelvic pain, and strengthens core stability.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized treatment for dizziness and balance disorders originating in the inner ear’s vestibular system, helping patients move confidently without vertigo or imbalance.
Amputee Rehabilitation
Guiding patients from early recovery through gait and functional training with their prosthesis, working closely with the prosthetist, toward safe, independent mobility.
Orthotic Fitting
Personalized fitting of ankle-foot orthoses and other orthotic devices that support joint stability and movement alignment, helping patients walk safely and reducing fall risk.
Cutting Edge
Research
The research dimension of our Rehabilitation Medical Center gives our professional team the opportunity to remain at the forefront of innovation and development in the field. We are proud to attract Physiotherapy interns and students from a range of academic institutions for training and clinical placements — laying the groundwork for the next generation of therapists in this demanding and vital field.
