Valmont Private Clinic - Orthopedic rehabilitation

Orthopedic rehabilitation relates to disorders of the locomotive system and spine as well as to musculo-skeletal and even neuro-orthopedic problems. It is generally employed following an acute illness or an accident with consequences of varying severity, or after planned surgery. The physician specializing in rehabilitation works in close collaboration with and coordinates an interdisciplinary team consisting of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and sports instructors. The services offered are personalized and aim to give patients the autonomy and independence they had prior to their accident or illness, or even to enable them to adapt to a disability under the best possible conditions with a view to returning home.

By restoring patients’ physical well-being in an optimum manner, we will ensure that their socio-professional reintegration takes place as quickly and as fully as possible.

During their stay, patients will be assessed and trained in various everyday activities (washing, getting dressed, preparing and eating meals, etc.) and will undergo motor therapy (strength, mobility, dexterity, sensory disorders). The patient will benefit from advice on postural health (in connection with spinal pain, total hip replacements, inflammatory rheumatism). Activities will always be personalized, with work in individual sessions, and will sometimes involve training in groups.

Before patients return home, assessments and advice relating to the adaptation of their living or working environment will always be considered, if necessary, as well as advice on additional aids (bath board, rollator, walking sticks, etc.). The main pathologies exhibited by the patients we treat are associated with prosthetic surgery (hip, knee and shoulder), traumatic surgery (hip, pelvic and ankle fractures) and multiple traumas, among others. In relation to the spine, pathologies include the consequences of operations, slipped discs, lumbar fusion, lumbar spinal canal stenosis, etc., or problems that have not been operated on, such as chronic low back pain. Inflammatory rheumatisms of the rheumatoid arthritis type or fibromyalgia are some of the other medical pathologies treated.
