Your road to recovery
One week of intensive treatment
Step 1
The Functional Neurological Examination (FNE)
You tell us about your symptoms. We will ask you the necessary questions and conduct a complete Neurological Examination. This allows us to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for our treatment.
Step 2
Advanced Machine Testing (quantification)
Based on Step 1, we determine what tests are necessary to quantify the underlying cause of the symptoms. To do this, we use a range of computer-controlled equipment.
Step 3
Rehabilitation week (in 5 days)
We address the problems. Through an individual program specifically tailored to your problems, we bring back function during an intensive week of treatment.
Step 4
Aftercare
After the 5-day intensive treatment week, you will receive homework assignments from us. These exercises are designed to further support your recovery. We are happy to monitor your progress with you.
Where do we generally see improvement?
Supported by scientific clinical research and findings, our program stimulates and activates the areas of the brain directly involved in your symptoms, leading to improved cognitive functions. We ensure that these improvements are lasting.
