Neurological occupational therapy
After a neurological diagnosis such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis, we help you regain lost functions or develop compensation strategies. Our aim is the fullest possible participation in social life.
Cognitive Training
Improving memory, attention and action planning, using paper-based or computer-assisted methods.
More on this: Cognitive training
Mobility Training
Targeted training of movement control of the weakened and affected limbs and of the trunk.
More on this: After a stroke
ADL Training
Training everyday activities such as dressing, eating and housework in realistic situations, taking trunk and movement control into account.

Evidence-Based Concepts
We work with internationally recognised treatment concepts such as , and , to make the best possible use of neuroplasticity.
Bobath: A concept for calming and for perceiving the boundaries of the body. It works among other things with positioning and changes of position.
Affolter: Guided activities are practised and improved with tactile support from the therapist.
Perfetti: Through a cognitive-therapeutic approach, neurological movement deficits are trained in the mind first.
Home-Based Treatment
We also come to your home if the journey to the practice is difficult for you.

Hemiplegia in everyday life: dressing, eating, washing
Hemiplegia does not change one movement, it changes all of them. Dressing, breakfast, showering, getting up from the bed: every one of these is built for two hands.

Parkinson’s in everyday life: small handwriting, stiff hands
It shows up first when signing something: the letters grow narrower towards the end of the line. Later, doing up buttons takes longer, and in a doorway the feet suddenly stick to the floor. This text explains where that comes from and which everyday handling makes a difference.
