The full 4-week rehabilitation program is the most effective for MS patients.
Every week there are 6 days of rehabilitation activities and one day devoted to rest and recovery.
The specially designed program offers the best results for MS patients.
According to idividual preferences it is possible to shorten or lengthen the stay.
Additionally, patients who have first undergone CCSVI Treatment experience better results.
Patients staying at the resort are examined by a neurologist who, based on the medical interview, records and a detailed physical exam, makes a preliminary assessment, which determines patient's deficits and problems expressed in neurological evaluation scales (i.e. the EDSS score).
On the basis of the diagnosis the neurologist directs the patient to specialists and therapists:
- Rehabilitation medicine specialist
- Urologist
- Physiotherapist
- Sociotherapist
- Occupational therapist
A visit to each of the professionals includes an interview, clinical observation, and test results in the diagnosis of specialized medical, nursing and physical therapy. The information collected allows assessment of the functional and psychological status of the patient and helps determine his or her needs. This will enable the patient to function better in his environment and in society. On the basis of all these data, the team develops an individual therapeutic treatment program.
In order to plan and monitor patient's holistic care, regular meetings of an interdisciplinary team are held in order to verify the diagnosis, modify the comprehensive therapeutic requirements and adapt the currently existing therapeutic needs to the current needs of the patient.
The 4-week program is essentially divided into two stages:
- The first two weeks, in addition to many other forms of therapy, the patients use the swimming pool;
- The next two weeks include treatment in the cryogenic chamber.
