Activation Therapy
We primarily help people with spinal injuries but also long-term inpatients to maintain and develop their physical, cognitive, social and emotional abilities. This is mainly achieved through therapeutic activities and exchanges within the group.
Our offer
Together with the patients, we select activities that best match their interests and therapy goals. The focus is on learning new things to compensate for lost abilities, as well as acquiring new experiences and ideas for leisure activities that can be pursued after leaving hospital. Personal individual discussions and open group sessions provide an opportunity to exchange views, motivate one another and help each other to deal with illness or physical restrictions.
The tools for activation therapy
- Craftwork with various materials e.g. wood, jewelry, soapstone, wicker for weaving etc.
- Creative work e.g. painting with different techniques, sewing etc.
