VAMED Rehabilitation Clinic Schwedenstein

VAMED Rehabilitation Clinic Schwedenstein is a private center for patients for psychological support after serious illnesses and psychosomatic and psychological disorders. Services are also available for refugees. Outpatient treatment is also available for refugees who were forced to leave their native homes and report significant stress or have exacerbations of long-standing illnesses. Annually, rehabilitators serve about 1,000 people in a cozy, bright building with 186 beds. A significant achievement for the rehabilitation center was recognition from Focus magazine. In addition, the high quality of services and compliance with medical standards made it one of the best healthcare facilities. Also, the hospital received permission to train interns because of its professionalism. Psychotherapy is the primary method of treating patients. Doctors offer a variety of directions and several sessions individually. Aquafitness, therapeutic archery, nordic walking, or MTT (Medical Exercise Therapy) are adjunctive therapies to improve the general condition and promote a healthy lifestyle.  Garden and work therapy helps people work with natural elements - earth, stones, wood, and plants- and find harmony and balance.  Nutrition education closes the gaps in metabolic deficits and helps patients be more organized and healthier. Furthermore, the course includes different "Healthy nutrition" lectures and cooking classes. Joint music lessons in a singing and dancing group complement all this. Music therapy is especially effective with speech therapy classes for organic and psychogenic speech disorders.  In addition, patients can comprehensively master techniques for future self-treatment at home with the KAHA system in 10 courses: yoga, qigong, and haka.  Different practices are also available separately. Spinal gymnastics and PowerYoga have a holistic effect on the body and soul. For a joint stay with babies, swimming for children, and mom fitness for women who have recently given birth or are nursing are available. Since 2015, the clinic has also offered a comprehensive program for oncology patients. VAMED Rehabilitation Center in Schwedenstein provides rehabilitation treatment for patients with depression, burnout, post-traumatic stress disorders, compulsions, chronic pain, and somatoform disorders. Special attention is also paid to older patients and cancer patients. Patient orientation and attentive care are the keys to the clinic's success.
