Faster rehabilitation and re-training of the brain

Faster rehabilitation and re-training of the brain

Nervous System

With neurological diseases, i.e. diseases of the brain, spinal cord or the peripheral nervous system, the many accompanying symptoms and protracted impairments of bodily functions are usually treated. These are essentially:

  • Paralyses
  • Sensory disorders
  • Back pain with/without radiation to another part of the body

During rehabilitation, impaired functions are stabilised or re-trained in order to achieve the highest possible degree of independence.

Typical Issues

  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Polyneuropathy
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Conditions following head or spinal operations
  • Paraparesis and hemiparesis
  • Nerve pain following inflammation
  • Lyme disease
  • Vertebrogenic algic syndrome

Doctor´s Quote

‘Our spa treatments have great positive impact on neurological conditions, especially Parkinson’s multiple sclerosis and vertebral conditions.’

Is a neuro-rehabilitation stay right for you?

Our nervous-system programmes pair warm mineral hydrotherapy with structured neuro-physiotherapy to help you rebuild movement, balance and confidence at a pace that suits your recovery. The notes below indicate who tends to benefit and when a stay should typically be postponed.

Suitable for

  • Suitable:Adults in the sub-acute or chronic phase of recovery after an ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke who are medically stable
  • Suitable:People living with Parkinson's disease seeking to maintain gait, balance and fine-motor function
  • Suitable:Those with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who are between relapses and looking to manage fatigue and spasticity
  • Suitable:Guests with peripheral neuropathy experiencing numbness, tingling or reduced foot stability
  • Suitable:Individuals with persistent sciatica or radicular leg pain that has not settled with rest
  • Suitable:People wanting to extend a hospital rehabilitation plan with supervised hydrotherapy and therapeutic massage

Not recommended for

  • Not recommended:Anyone within the acute phase of a stroke or with an unstable, evolving neurological deficit
  • Not recommended:Guests with uncontrolled epilepsy or seizures not stabilised on current medication
  • Not recommended:People with active infection, fever or an open or unhealed pressure wound
  • Not recommended:Those with severe cardiac or respiratory failure for whom warm-water immersion is contraindicated
  • Not recommended:Individuals with significant cognitive impairment or swallowing difficulty requiring continuous nursing supervision
  • Not recommended:Anyone with deep-vein thrombosis or an acute inflammatory flare until cleared by their treating physician

What guests typically experience

  • 2-3 weeks

    Steadier gait & balance

    Most guests complete an indicative two-to-three-week block of daily neuro-physiotherapy and aquatic gait work before noticeable change in walking confidence.

  • ≈ 1-2 points

    Lower spasticity & pain

    Warm hydrotherapy and therapeutic massage may ease muscle tone and radicular pain, with guests often reporting a one-to-two-point fall on a 10-point scale.

  • 3-6 months

    Lasting home routine

    Each guest typically leaves with a tailored exercise plan designed to sustain mobility gains for three to six months between supervised stays.

The nervous system responds best to repetition, warmth and patience, and that is exactly what a structured spa stay can provide. Immersion in our warm mineral pools reduces muscle tone and the fear of falling, which lets us push neuro-physiotherapy further than we safely could on dry land. For guests recovering from stroke, or living with Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, we combine hydrotherapy, targeted physiotherapy and therapeutic massage into one daily rhythm. The aim is never a single dramatic result but steady, repeatable gains that each guest can carry home.
