Melittaklinik offers a dedicated area for rehabilitation programs to restore motor function and independence after trauma, surgery, or in the presence of motor and neurological disorders. Our interdisciplinary approach places the patient and individual recovery goals at the center to develop personalized rehabilitation programs, both through the NHS and privately.

Cutting-edge environments and technologies serving recovery
Highly functional spaces, designed to meet the different stages of the rehabilitation pathway.
Indoor pool for hydro-kinesiotherapy
Melittaklinik has an indoor rehabilitation pool, a resource designed for specific hydrokinesiotherapy programs. In a private, controlled environment, sessions are held in which immersion in heated water promotes muscle relaxation, improves joint mobility, and reduces load on the joints and spine. This type of therapy is particularly recommended in post-operative phases or in the presence of chronic pain.
Rehabilitation labs
Inside our clinic we offer specialist labs for targeted programs, including:
- Gait and locomotion lab with tools to perform precise postural analyses and to resume gait recovery;
- Equipped environments dedicated to ergotherapy;
- Stations for technology-assisted training.
Learning to walk safely
On every floor of the facility, patients have the opportunity to learn to walk in complete safety. On the corridor floors, we have installed tracks to which trolleys are attached: secured to these by a harness and under the supervision of their physiotherapist, inpatients can relearn to walk without the risk of slipping or falling.
Rehabilitation garden
Our team has developed a rehabilitation garden where it is possible to perform outdoor exercises that stimulate all recovered functions. Walking along a path that includes stairs, bridges, different surfaces, and common obstacles of daily life, the patient has the opportunity to regain confidence with the world outside Melittaklinik. In addition, thanks to this activity, the attending physician can better assess the patient’s health status and consider the possibility of discharge.
