    Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation is aimed at people who have suffered a cardiac event. During phase 2, patients undergo physiotherapy training three times a week for three months. The programme includes endurance and strength training, gymnastics, hydrotherapy, walking and relaxation. Lectures of various kinds are also offered (nutrition, psychology, doctors).

    After phase 2, you can move on to phase 3, known as the cardiac maintenance group. This takes place once a week throughout the year and is aimed at people who wish to continue their active lifestyle after rehabilitation within a group.

  • OnkoReha

    The physiotherapy group at OnkoReha is part of a multi-professional rehabilitation programme. This includes yoga, nutritional advice, psycho-oncology and social counselling. Cancer patients are cared for by OnkoReha coordinators, who work with them to draw up a tailored programme. Onco-rehabilitation can be carried out before, during or after cancer treatment, and lasts for 12 weeks. The physiotherapy group focuses on improving strength, endurance and balance, as well as reducing fatigue.

    Confidence in one's own body also needs to be reinforced. There is a regular exchange between the different disciplines.
