Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital

Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital is a specialist facility in Beroun, Czech Republic, built around rehabilitation medicine and closely related services. The facility initially opened in 1929 and has been substantially reshaped since its privatization in 2007, with broad upgrades to buildings, equipment, and care capacity, combining modern specialist practice with a strong focus on patient needs and comfort. A central role is played by its rehabilitation centre, which provides early, structured therapeutic rehabilitation for movement and functional limitations in both outpatient and inpatient formats. The focus is on restoring mobility, strength, coordination, and day-to-day independence after neurological events, orthopedic problems, traumatic injuries, spinal issues, or complex deconditioning. Care is delivered through a multidisciplinary team. The hospital describes collaboration among rehabilitation physicians, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists, with clinical speech therapy, clinical psychology, and prosthetic expertise integrated as needed to match physical recovery with communication, cognition, and practical mobility solutions. Physiotherapy at Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital is supported by an assessment infrastructure intended to make movement problems measurable and trackable. The rehabilitation centre describes a kinesiological laboratory with stabilometric evaluation used for objective assessment of posture and balance, and for targeted therapy when gait and stability are impaired. Therapy options here also include a broad set of physical medicine modalities aimed at pain control, tissue healing, and functional readiness for active exercise. The hospital describes interventions such as therapeutic ultrasound, laser applications, and magnetotherapy, alongside other approaches used in routine rehabilitation practice to address musculoskeletal pain and stiffness. In addition, occupational therapy is presented as practical, function-based training rather than abstract exercise. According to the hospital’s program descriptions, occupational therapy can address fine motor skills and everyday task performance. It can also extend to cognitive training and guidance on compensatory aids to make routine activities safer and easier. Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital also emphasizes technology-supported rehabilitation for selected indications. It describes robot-assisted upper-limb therapy, including robotic glove systems designed to guide precise hand and finger movement practice. It reports the use of modern feedback tools to support motor relearning in patients who cannot yet move reliably. For patients whose main limitation is cognitive performance, the hospital has a dedicated cognitive rehabilitation approach that uses detailed computer-based screening to detect less obvious deficits. It also includes movement therapy supported by biofeedback, where physiological signals are measured and presented in real time to help patients improve control and regulate effort during therapy tasks. Water-based resources are part of the therapeutic environment as well. The hospital notes that pools are used for rehabilitation and therapy, and also as a structured relaxation option within the broader campus services, which can be helpful for patients managing pain, fatigue, or anxiety during longer recovery journeys. Surgical capability at Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital is available through the hospital’s arthroscopy centre, which is organized as a focused service for minimally invasive joint procedures. The hospital states it provides a complete spectrum of arthroscopic interventions, from diagnostic and preventive work through complex reconstructive procedures, and it highlights the practical advantage of rapid transition into postoperative rehabilitation. Diagnostic support is available through an imaging department that includes MRI services and radiology workflows that can accommodate non-urgent and urgent requests under defined rules. This allows rehabilitation planning to be informed by imaging and clinical findings when musculoskeletal or neurological assessment requires confirmation beyond bedside examination. Everyday support services are designed to reduce friction for patients and families navigating therapy plans. Beroun Rehabilitation Hospital operates an on-site pharmacy to support access to prescribed medicines and rehabilitation-related supplies, which can simplify continuity when a patient balances therapy appointments with medication adjustments.
