Setting the foundation for your neurological rehabilitation

We support patients in their recovery from neurological diseases.

cereneo is one of the world’s leading rehabilitation providers for patients who are suffering from stroke, Parkinson’s disease, trauma and other diseases of the nervous system. A neurological disease or an accident are life changing events and can affect one or several of your brain functions, such as speech, movement, concentration and attention. 

We provide a comprehensive and personalized rehabilitation programme that allows patients to get better in all areas. Continuous rehabilitation is a key success factor in the recovery process of each patient, this is why we accompany patients throughout the recovery process, from inpatient rehabilitation, transfer and therapy at home, as well as online therapy.

Stroke Recovery
at cereneo

Stroke is a life-threatening medical emergency that often results in long-term impairments. At cereneo, we focus on early, intensive rehabilitation to help patients regain lost abilities and return to independent living.

Our interdisciplinary team designs personalized recovery programs centered on true restitution, combining neurological care, specialized therapies, nutrition science, and rehabilitation nursing to help patients reclaim their lives and prevent complications.

Parkinson's treatment
with leading experts

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition requiring continuous, specialized care.

At cereneo, our experts support patients from diagnosis through personalized treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care. We tailor therapy to individual needs, adjust DBS and medication, and collaborate with the University Hospital of Zurich and leading Parkinson’s specialists for advanced interventions such as DBS and focused ultrasound.

Recovery after
brain injury

A brain injury is the result of a damage to your brain that may occur at any time. It affects each patient differently, common impairments can influence mobility, self-care, activities of daily living, emotion, cognition and communication. A traumatic or acquired brain injury has profound implications for the individual patient, family and society. At cereneo, we assess your resources and impairments to be able to focus on the areas you are having difficulty with and maximise your recovery.

Unique interprofessional collaboration

interdisciplinary teamwork at cereneo

Your inpatient stay builds the foundation for a successful recovery. Depending on your medical condition and personal objectives, you can have back to back therapy sessions every day covering movement and occupational training, speech and language, as well as neuropsychological therapy units. 

Our interprofessional team of experts consisting of neurologists, therapists, engineers and nurses works hand in hand with you, so you can get the most out of your inpatient stay putting your personal needs and objectives first and helping you go beyond your limits.

Neurologists

Our neurologists, working closely with an interdisciplinary team, develop individualized rehabilitation plans using modern diagnostics and therapies. They manage even highly complex cases holistically, monitor progress, and actively involve patients and their families in the recovery process.

Movement therapy

Movement therapy at cereneo combines physiotherapy and occupational therapy to restore and improve body functions through targeted, high-intensity exercises. When appropriate, this is enhanced with robot-assisted therapies and stimulation techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Rehabilitation engineer

Rehabilitation engineers develop and adapt technical solutions that support therapy and precisely measure recovery progress. Working closely with clinicians and researchers, they observe patients in daily activities and create or tailor technologies to meet individual patient needs.

Speech and Language therapy

Speech therapy focuses on diagnosing and treating speech, communication, voice, facial muscle paralysis, and swallowing disorders. Individual therapy plans are based on the latest scientific evidence and may be combined with non-invasive brain stimulation.

Neuropsychological therapy

Neuropsychology addresses cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions such as attention, memory, language, and perception. Based on standardized assessments, individualized, evidence-based treatment plans are created using tailored training and, when appropriate, non-invasive brain stimulation.

Nursing

Our nursing team provides specialized, patient-centered care and works closely with the interdisciplinary team to ensure continuity and effective interventions. They administer medication and support patients in rehabilitation activities, mobility training, and daily living tasks.

Ernährung

Our nutritionists create individualized diets tailored to each patient’s neurological condition, taste preferences, and recovery goals. By combining nutritious, enjoyable meals with gradual dietary adjustments, they support energy, motivation, and long-term health.

Psychological counselling

Psychological support for patients and, when needed, their families is a key part of rehabilitation, strongly influencing motivation and recovery success. Therapy focuses on motivation, relaxation techniques, sleep and hypnosis, as well as effective coping strategies.

Non-invasive brain stimulation for greater and faster recovery.

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is a safe, innovative method that enhances brain activity to improve functions such as movement, language, and attention, especially when combined with intensive, personalized rehabilitation. Techniques include TMS, applied before therapy using magnetic fields, and tDCS, which delivers mild electrical stimulation during therapy sessions.

Innovation: real-time assessment, training & feedback in a VR environment with the CAREN.

CAREN is one of the most sophisticated therapy equipment in the world. It combines a treadmill that can be moved in all directions with 3D analysis of body movement and a virtual environment, all in real-time. The CAREN at cereneo, is the first and only one in Switzerland enabling the development and testing of customized training protocols that are tailored to the specific needs and goals of each patient.
