Bangkok Revalidatie Centrum

General Information
 

Many diseases and syndromes leave physical disabilities and communication impairments that need to be treated because of the impact they have on normal life. The Bangkok Rehabilitation Center has more than 60 highly skilled rehabilitative personnel, including medical doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists, providing patient focused programs using the latest techniques and modern equipment. This ensures that our rehabilitation programs are as effective as possible for both in- and out-patients, ranging from children to the elderly. Services include stroke and neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal and joint rehabilitation, neck and back rehabilitation, chest rehabilitation, and cardiac rehabilitation. Child development problems, sports injuries and a host of other problems are also treated by the Center.

The Bangkok Rehabilitation Center provides a variety of services, with some of its programs internationally recognized for their high quality. One such service is our aquatic therapy program, which utilizes an adjustable pool base to regulate the depth of water according to a patient’s height. Water temperature is constantly maintained at normal body temperature and a massage effect is created by a jet stream generator. With one-to-one service, each patient is individually cared for by their physical therapist, ensuring safety and effective quality control.

The unit also offers signal rehabilitation services for those who have problems with coronary arteries, heart valves, and defects of the heart itself. Before and after surgery, rehabilitation is managed to prevent complications. The Center continuously monitors vital signs during and after exercise periods using unobtrusive wireless equipment.

The Center is also well known for its treatment of respiratory problems. Drainage of secretion is non-invasively accomplished with postural positioning, percussion on the chest wall, and both manual and mechanical vibration designed to create an “artificial cough.” A respiratory muscle strengthening program is also available to enable patients to clear their lungs. This improves ventilation and lowers risk of lung infection.

The comprehensive rehabilitation programs available at Bangkok Hospital Medical Center are not only provided at our hospital, but can also take place in the patient’s home. A group of rehabilitation specialists can visit the patient to create an in-house program based on the size of their home and available exercise equipment.
