Oncological Rehabilitation Clinic Asklepios Triberg

Oncological Rehabilitation Clinic Asklepios Triberg has operated since 1972 as a specialized resort near the famous Triberg waterfalls. Patient-centeredness and round-the-clock multidisciplinary support receive high-quality recovery and renewal of strength after severe oncological treatment. In particular, doctors and rehabilitators serve 2,500 people annually. Beautiful nature, a favorable climate, and a modern building with 150 beds contribute to a relaxed atmosphere, complemented by the friendliness of the medical staff. The importance of maintaining a proper movement regime and physical exercises, according to clinical studies, can prevent the presence or recurrence of cancer by up to 67%.  Therefore, doctors offer numerous patient activities, including guided forest walks, Nordic walking or snowshoeing, bicycle ergometry, breathing exercises, bicycle ergometry, gymnastics of different body parts, motion baths, and strength endurance training on Milon simulators. Individual physiotherapy and occupational therapy help to reduce manifestations of polyneuropathy and limb weakness. The clinic's rehabilitators also offer diet therapy, a cure for insufficient nutrition, and training in rational nutrition, considering the variety of cancer lesions. Purposeful pelvic floor training also reduces urinary incontinence problems, which often accompany patients with an oncological profile. Lectures about treatment variations of erectile dysfunction, stoma care, and smoking (developed by IFT and BZgA) keep patients motivated and help them learn about additional options for improving their general condition. Also, endocrinological patients have the opportunity to dine problems of muscle tension in the shoulder and neck area after surgery, as well as receive advice on dietary calcium supplements and vitamin D. Furthermore, accessory symptoms, such as sleep disorders, are successfully corrected by leading specialists thanks to exercise in relaxation techniques and the use of progressive Jacobson muscle relaxation and autogenic training. The specialized Oncological Rehabilitation Hospital Asklepios in Triberg qualifies for recovery after the cure of leukemia and lymphoma, stem cell transplantation, oncological lesions of the esophagus, gynecological, urological, endocrinological, and pulmonary systems, and skin. Additionally, detailed attention to the minor symptoms and educational activities aimed at informing patients about additional opportunities for a better life.
