About the Department of Internal Medicine, Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation at MEDIAN Rehabilitation Clinic am Burggraben Bad Salzuflen

The Department of Internal Medicine, Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation at the MEDIAN Rehabilitation Clinic am Burggraben Bad Salzuflen offers all the options of modern rehabilitation medicine to restore the health of patients with diseases of the lungs and other organs of the respiratory system, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, kidney diseases, as well as diabetes mellitus and other endocrine disorders. In addition, the department's medical team has a perfect command of a variety of therapeutic methods for the rehabilitation of patients after cardiac surgery and gastrointestinal surgery. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Stefan Schüth.

Upon admission to the department, the doctors develop an individual rehabilitation program for the patient, which is aimed at overall body recovery, physical endurance and general health improvement, as well as restoration of self-care skills. During the treatment, special attention is paid to teaching the patients with chronic pathology or after a disease or surgery a healthy lifestyle. A separate focus is made on a healthy diet and regular dosed physical activity.

The patients' health is in the safe hands of a multidisciplinary team of highly qualified doctors with extensive clinical experience. It is important for the patients undergoing rehabilitation treatment to feel support, and therefore rehabilitation therapists strive to motivate their patients and help them overcome the difficulties, which may occur on their way to recovery. In addition, the department cooperates with external medical partners, namely with the surgical outpatient clinic, the emergency medical service of Bad Salzuflen and other rehabilitation clinics in the region. Thanks to such an approach, the patients benefit from comprehensive medical care.

The rehabilitation treatment of patients who have suffered cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and endocrine diseases is based on a regular training using an individually developed set of physical exercises. The rehabilitation therapists carefully select the type of exercise and its intensity, as they strive to provide the patient with the maximum effect of the rehabilitation. The decisive role is played by the regularity of exercising, which is personally supervised by the doctors. In addition, when undergoing rehabilitation, the patient can easily master the optimal therapeutic exercises, which he can do at home.

It should be noted that the department conducts a special interdisciplinary rehabilitation for patients who have suffered severe forms of coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The rehabilitation programs for such patients are aimed at improving physical endurance, training the respiratory muscles, eliminating shortness of breath and, if required, overcoming psychological problems due to the pathology. The rehabilitation is based on breathing exercises, which can be supplemented by relaxation techniques, group conversations of patients who have suffered an infectious disease to share their experience, as well as professional psychological care.
