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.
