Ergotherapy
Mission statement for Ergotherapy
With our expertise in the multi-facetted field of ergotherapy, we specialise in the rehabilitation of patients with paraplegia, as well as diseases and injuries of the spinal column. We treat people from Switzerland and abroad on both an inpatient and outpatient basis, offering them lifelong, competent after-care. It is our stated objective to use interdisciplinary cooperation to integrate the patient back into everyday life with the greatest possible independence and with the best possible quality of life.
Our ergotherapy is intended to be an holistic treatment. Each therapeutic measure is geared towards the individual needs of the patient. Therefore, we are able to deliver an individual programme of treatment, which is adapted in line with recovery and which is based on the WHO's “International Classification of Function, Disability and Health“ (ICF).
We are motivated and committed, and relish new challenges. We attach great importance to continuous initial and further training. Patients entrusted to us meet with respect and empathy.
We strive to achieve efficient, constructive and interdisciplinary cooperation with internal and external services, whereby resource-oriented thinking and action is central.
We achieve our results by regularly reviewing our performance and by making continuous improvements to our working processes. We will also be able to make ongoing enhancements to our quality in the future through continued access to innovations, the latest technologies and scientific expertise.
