Feeling well. Staying in the Clinic. Lena-Miriam

„I really feel well here.“

The success of therapy depends on many factors. Apart from the professional work of our clinic team, it is also very important for us that all patients feel well from the very beginning, as they spend much time in our clinic besides the treatment time.

Our Rooms – perfect for Relaxing The rooms have a cosy design. Dark flooring in wooden optique or wall-to-wall carpets and bright wall colouring harmonize with the modern architecture of the building. The 106 rooms, which offer sufficient space, are equipped with bathroom, shower and WC. Each room has a phone and balcony. Meeting People In a pleasant athmosphere you can read a book from our small library, watch TV or talk to other patients. Adult patients can also use the dining room in the evening as a meeting point. In our clinic we have an internet terminal and you have access to WLAN.

Being active Train your fitness by swimming some lanes in our pool (16 m x 8 m), by jogging on the Katharina-Schroth path not far from the clinic, by making a long walk, by biking through the beautiful landscape or taking part in an exciting table tennis match. For team players we have an area for beach volleyball. We also have a field outside the clinic where patients can play soccer or basketball. There is also a large hobby room, where you can do creative works with the help of our experienced team.

Comprehensive Care We offer free-time activities for young patients five days a week. A free-time program is organized daily for all patients by an expert team. We organize trips and guided tours to close cities like Mainz, Bad Kreuznach or Idar-Oberstein known as the town of precious stones. For more information please see page 16.

Having a good Time Our patients get 5 meals per day: breakfast, Müsli (cereals during break in the morning), lunch, fruit (during break in the afternoon) and dinner in form of a buffet. Additionally, we offer nutritional guidance.

„ A high medical standard for a professional therapy“

Successful. The Scoliosis Intensive Rehabilitation.

A multi professional treatment is essential in order to obtain a successful rehabilitation of spinal deformities with long lasting effect. Besides the comprehensive medical and diagnostic initial examinations also the diagnosis by the physiotherapist at the beginning (with a special diagnosis of the scoliosis and deformity) is the basis of further physiotherapeutic proceedings.

Medical Service Physicians from different medical fields are working in the medical team of our clinic: Dr. med. Kay Steffan, the Senior physician (Medical Director), specialized in orthopaedics and sports medicine, chirotherapy and social medicine with many years of experience in conservative scoliosis treatment, a physician for internal medicine, a paediatric physician as well as other physicians. This medical team has solid knowledge in the conservative treatment of spinal deformities. The comprehensive continued training and the specializing in the conservative therapy of scoliosis guarantees a qualified treatment of all patients on a high medical level following the latest scientific knowledge. Nursing and Diagnostics The members of our nursing team are examined nurses. Their task is to respond to the demands of our mainly adolescent patients with spinal deformities. Our nursing team is available 24 hours per day. As we have a lot of young patients also educational work is important. The daily duties of our nursing team are the individual care of our patients, who are sick and must stay in bed as well as the realization of the orders given by the physicians. The control of the brace wearing time is also among the daily duties of our nursing team.

The Three-Dimensional Scoliosis Therapy The basis of our intensive scoliosis rehabilitation is the three-dimensional scoliosis therapy according to Katharina Schrothwith therapy standards which have been tested and developed for decades. This treatment method respects the feedback mechanisms especially the awareness for posture and movement. Patients exercise under the supervision of physical thera­pists to improve posture by reduction of the asymmetrical loading and the imbalance. Correct breathing is a basic part of the Schroth therapy. The idea is to affect the typical scoliotic breathing patterns and help to correct the rotation and side deviation of the spine. During the functional and individual training sessions patients perform the expansion of the collapsed trunk areas. The first week of therapy is regarded as a learning stage and is to give knowledge about the

12

Asklepios Katharina-Schroth-Klinik Bad Sobernheim

individual curve pattern and anatomical deviations and develop an individualized exercise program. During the exercise program of the following treatment weeks the patients learn to be aware of the wrong habitual posture and correct this posture consciously and maintain it also in strainful situations in everyday life. The scoliosis therapy is realized mainly in groups guided by physical therapists or in individual training sessions supervised by a physical therapist. The size of the group depends on the indication and the kind of exercises which have to be learned and trained. This exercise program is very intensive and can only be learned during an in-patient treatment. In this way we can guarantee many and intensive hours of therapy. The aim of the in-patient rehabilitation program is the straightening of

the curves and the muscular stabilization as well as to teach the patients how to exercise correctly and to enable them to perform these exercises by themselves at home. Curve progression should be prevented and minor functional curves should be corrected. Patients should develop an awareness of cor-

rect posture to avoid deterioration of the curvature in everyday life. Our program trains how to support postures in standing and sitting positions in daily life to reduce strain on the spine and trunk, thus aiming at a reduction of the load on the main curve.

Pain Therapy Patients who suffer from pain get pain therapy which is ordered by the treating physician. Pain therapy which takes place in small groups or is given individually, consists of different components. There is the therapy which follows the methods of Katharina Schroth and respects the individual pain, which is also alleviated by the care of our psychologists. Other components are physiotherapeutic techniques as for example manual therapy, PNF (activation and strengthening of supporting muscles), MC Kenzie and Brügger (stabilizing technique to reduce painful strain). Occupational Therapy Our occupational therapy concept is realized in small groups or in an individual therapy: Supporting and training of self-competence for a correct posture and movement in professional life (at work).

Further Offers

Recognizing typical strainful situations at work or at home. Acting and finding solutions to organize an ergonomic working place (working place training). Recognizing how patients can get support and strain reduction in everyday life. Becoming aware of the relations which exists between posture and pathophysiolgic reactions due to strain and pain. Training of motorical capabilities to be able to respond to the demands of everyday life. Testing of certain jobs and daily situations (for example work in the office and household).

Being active. The Free-time Program. Alexander

„There is always action here. Boring? - No way!“

The organization of an active freetime is very important and completes the medical and physiotherapeutic treatment. For us it is essential that patients are balanced, creative and are able to have fun.

Games and Fun – the Free-time Program for our young Patients We offer a supervised free-time program for our young patients from Monday to Friday. During this time the children can play, do handicrafts, read or take part in outdoor activities. A specially trained team takes care of the children and encourages them to do something together. Active and creative – Organized Free-time for all In the evening of all weekdays and at the weekends patients have different possibilities to spend their free-time individually. The team who is responsible for organizing the free-time always comes up with new ideas for those who want to spend their free-time actively, for example by doing sports, by hiking, taking part in competitions, playing social games or other activities and for those who choose more creative activities as for example doing handicrafts.

Indoor and outdoor – enough Space for spending Free-time Our patients have enough rooms and areas to be able to spend free-time actively. They can use two large rooms provided for free-time, an indoor pool, tables for playing table tennis, a place for playing beach volley ball, a field for soccer and basket ball. Our young patients can regularly watch films for children among others blockbusters. In front of our big screen they nearly get the feeling of being in a cinema. They can take part in the public viewing of important sport contests or karaoke and disco nights and get raised up by the euphoria. Our team also organizes beauty sessions or inform about many interesting subjects. Just leaving for a While – Excursions to the Surrounding Areas Enjoying free-time together with others makes much more fun, for example during guided tours through the vineyards and woods around Bad Sobernheim. We also organize excursions and visits. The programs which are thoroughly set up by our team are highlights and are widely accepted by the patients. The region has a lot to offer.

A successful rehabilitation also depends on the surroundings. The particular location of the Asklepios Katharina-Schroth-Klinik close to the centre of Bad Sobernheim is perfect for an active free-time program. The Clinic is surrounded by nature. Not far from the city centre with its shops you can enjoy sightseeing points in the near neighbourhood.

Many new Impressions – Bad Sobernheim Bad Sobernheim is known for its location in the scenic “Mittlere Nahetal” with untouched nature, rich in history, premium vines, superbly cooked dishes and interesting offers for your free-time. Bad Sobernheim and its neighbourhood have many attractions, for example Germany’s first barefoot path. While walking successively on grass, mud, sand, stones and a dexterity parcours you get to a ford and cross the river Nahe. You can also cross the Nahe via a wooden bridge and get back to the starting point by using a 40 m long suspension bridge. It is also possible to cross the river “Nahe” in a small boat by steering it yourself. An other highlight is the open air museum situated very close to the Clinic. Many historic buildings give impressions of 500 years of life in Rhineland-Palatinate. Many miles of bike tracks in a wonderful nature can be found in the valley of the river “Nahe”. Where Saint Hildegard lived – The Abbey on the Disibodenberg The ruins of the abbey can be seen on the top of the Disibodenberg embedded in the charming landscape between the “Glan” and “Nahe” rivers. The abbey is surrounded by a romantic park (created by Johann Metzger, the famous garden architect of Heidelberg), from which you have a wonderful view over the landscape. Here, Saint Hildegard began to write down her visions which are still of great importance for many people.

On Rails – Draisine tour on the Banks of the river “Glan” At a certain time the railroad between “Altenglan” and “Staudernheim” was no longer used. The distance of 40 km can now be covered by carriages on rails (Draisine) designed for two or more pepole. The carriages must be move by hand or pedals. The rails lead through a very enchanting landscape. There are many stops, from where you can discover the neighbourhood. Bad Kreuznach – a Town with Flair and rich in History This town located at the river “Nahe” is the main centre of the region. It is worthwile to visit the beautiful old town with the famous bridge houses (“little Venice”) excavations of Roman sites as well as the health and spa area. In the “Salinental”, an open-air inhalatorium, you can inhale the salt-enriched air from the salines and relax.

„So many beautiful landscapes, nice towns and interesting sightseeing points. You would like to stay for ever.“ Ralf Schneberger

(Head of the Tourists‘ Information Bad Sobernheim)

Bad Münster am Stein – a Town between the Rocks The romantic health and spa resort lies embedded between two large rocks not far from Bad Kreuznach. The “Rotenfels” with the height of 202 m is the steepest rocky wall between the Alps and Scandinavia. From its top you have a beautiful panoramic view. A hiking trail follows the steep wall. Get the kick!
