STEPS EXTRA
At STEPS we understand very well that it is not just about the benefits of the therapy itself but also the need to understand that every person is an individual with different abilities, limitations and approach to the therapy. Therefore we provide a variety of additional services with the aim to find the best approach, the best preparation and the best way of motivation during the various STEPS of rehabilitation for each individual that comes to us. Here under we inform you about the extra possibilities.
Psychologist
The four primary goals of psychology are Describe, Explain, Predict and Change Behavior. It is clear that these goals are also a major part of the rehabilitation process. Therefore we provide psychological assistance for our patients if required or purely as a way to communicate with a person who will listen to the questions, observations and feelings that come up during the rehabilitation process.
Dietician
The main goal is to assess the patients nutritional needs and develop a food plan for the patient if required. A change in nutrition and healthy eating habits can also be a beneficial factor for the patients daily well being.
Massage Therapy
Massage is delivered to improve the flow of blood and lymph (fluid in lymph glands, part of immune system), to reduce muscular tension or flaccidity, to affect the nervous system through stimulation or sedation, and to enhance tissue healing. During the therapy our patients are challenging their body physically, and massage therapy helps to relieve the tension and promote a healthy posture.
STEPS provides both in-house and outbound massage therapy. Sometimes, after a day of intense rehabilitation therapy it can be a way of relaxation to have a massage carried out at your home. We can arrange this for you as well as providing massage therapy while in our clinic. Also the people accompanying our patients can enjoy a relaxing massage at the clinic while their relatives are occupied with the therapy.
Conductor Assistance
At STEPS we understand that patient help does not stop after a day of therapy. Depending on the needs and requirements of our patients we can provide assistance for the patient outside of the clinic’s activities. If a patient needs help showering, getting dressed, or any other help, STEPS has conductors on call, who can assist the patient outside of the hours of therapy. When you inform us about the needs of the patient we help provide a tailor made solution for you. Details to be discussed at the clinic.
On-call Nurse
Referring to the above, we know that sometimes a situation can occur where you want medical assistance. If this occurs outside of the clinic’s therapy activities, we provide you with the contact details of a qualified nurse that is available to help you if needed. That way, you never feel abandoned and assured that help is only one call away. All details can be discussed at the clinic.
