After surgery and serious illnesses, patients are often confronted with limitations and complaints, even after the best acute care. Medical expertise, professional care and individually tailored treatments and nursing are therefore required in every stage of rehabilitation. In this regard, it is important to categorise the current disease state, taking age and multi-morbidity into consideration. During the rehabilitation stay, usually lasting three weeks, an appealing ambience, exclusive hospitality and high-quality catering support the recovery process.

In rehabilitation, as in clinical practice, the question arises as to which of the many possible treatment options is most suitable for a particular patient. This decision is shaped by the patient's personal preferences, the medical and therapeutic experience, and the existing structural conditions, among others. In this context, it is necessary that the scientific verifiability (evidence), together with the effectiveness of the treatment options, factors into the decision.

Rehabilitation requiring monitoring (early rehabilitation) is specially tailored to the particular needs of patients severely impaired by illness, who are not yet medically stable and must therefore be monitored and attended to more intensively by medical and nursing staff. The treatment measures are adjusted to the restricted capacity and often occur as individual therapy in the patient room. The early rehabilitation with intensive nursing care is generally followed by inpatient rehabilitation with further structured training according to individual capacity.

Someone who has withstood surgery or a serious heart disease finds it difficult to assess his/her physical capacity. Rehabilitation for the cardiovascular system with a controlled increase in performance provides security and self-confidence here. This is particularly true if any existing multiple illnesses are also taken into consideration in an interdisciplinary manner in the rehabilitation.

Ideally, cardiovascular patients undergo rehabilitation that follows the SCPRS guidelines. Specially trained physiotherapists and sports therapists instruct and supervise the individual training sessions on modern endurance equipment in the cardiovascular rehabilitation here. The training programme encompasses individual or group therapy with cardiac-specific gymnastics, regulated strength and endurance training, and supervised endurance disciplines. Additionally, the patients are offered physiotherapeutic treatments and, if required, psychological care.

After cancer, everything is often no longer as it used to be, at first. Oncological rehabilitation therefore encompasses interdisciplinary measures to enable those concerned to shape their lives with as much independence as possible, despite illness and exhausting treatment. The attending surgeon or oncologist considers rehabilitation if there are serious functional limitations and/or reactions to any chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Malnutrition or poor diets as well as the absence of adequate care at home are also reasons for inpatient rehabilitation.

Artificial nutrition, a reconnected stoma, drainage tubes to remove wound secretion or wound healing disorders are further reasons for oncological rehabilitation. Additionally consulted specialists and physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and specialised nursing staff support the healing process and, if required, take appropriate measures.

Pulmonary rehabilitation activates and promotes the individual resources, as these enable the transition to an everyday life that is as independent and active as possible again. In consultations and seminars, the patient is given important information on his/her illness and how to handle inhalation devices and respiration therapy devices. The patients also learn how to pursue continuous training at home.
