The rehabilitation ward is located in the pavilion of aftercare beds (OGNP). On the ground floor of the building there is an outpatient ward and on the 4th floor there is an inpatient part of the ward, which has a capacity of 20 beds.
MUDr. Drahomíra Škodová has been the head of the department since 2008. The chief rehabilitation worker is Jana Ciprušová.
Most of the clients of the rehabilitation department come because of musculoskeletal diseases, post-traumatic conditions (traumas and polytraumas) and after musculoskeletal surgeries (conditions after alloplasties of weight-bearing joints or after corrective and other orthopaedic and surgical surgeries). Neurological disorders (conditions following central and peripheral nervous system damage) also account for a large proportion. Properly indicated rehabilitation treatment leads to the correction of problems and helps to prevent recurrences, especially in the case of back pain. A proper exercise regime and regular exercise remain the cornerstones.
The actual rehabilitation care is provided by physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other professional staff. In the outpatient section, there is one gym for group exercises and three smaller ones for individual exercises. Physical medicine is provided in the electrotherapy and hydrotherapy sections. We have several modern electrotherapy currents, including distance electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, ultrasound and laser treatment. Special methods are also used here, such as balling, sensomotor stimulation, McKenzie exercises, spinal mobilisation and manipulation, pelvic floor exercises, treatment of functional sterility using Mrs Mojžíšová's method, incontinence treatment, exercises on a ball, on unstable surfaces, training in correct breathing, etc. The psychosomatic context (physical illness and human psyche) cannot be overlooked. We also offer clients a programme of directly funded therapy, which includes laser therapy, cupping and massage.
The advantage of the rehabilitation department is the immediate availability of beds and therapeutic physical education. Our aim is to achieve maximum self-sufficiency of the client.
