POST-STROKE HAND REHABILITATION
Intensive rehabilitation for hand spasticity and paresis of the upper limbs.
Physiotherapy for Post-Stroke Hand Spasticity
Our retreat-based rehabilitation program is specifically designed to address post-stroke hand spasticity, focusing on functional recovery or enhancing the results already achieved through physiotherapy. The program aims to activate or improve the functioning of the upper limb and serves as an excellent supplement to comprehensive post-stroke rehabilitation, rather than replacing it.
This program is particularly suited for:
• Patients experiencing long-term hand spasticity (several months or years after a stroke).
• Those looking to alternate between a comprehensive rehabilitation program and one focused specifically on hand recovery.
Intensive One-on-One Therapy
Our approach emphasizes intensive, individualized therapy, with each patient receiving one-on-one sessions with a physiotherapist. The schedule aligns with our main rehabilitation program, offering:
• 5 sessions daily (45 minutes each) from Monday to Friday.
• 2 sessions (45 minutes each) on Saturday.
Holistic Focus on Hand and Upper Limb Recovery
The program is dedicated to maximizing physical therapy for the hand while considering the broader context of upper-limb recovery. Therapy involves not only the hand but also areas directly and indirectly affected by the stroke. By employing a diverse range of therapeutic methods, we aim to improve functionality and enhance the patient’s ability to perform everyday activities.
Additional Support for Botulinum Toxin Injections
For patients requiring botulinum toxin injections as part of their treatment, we provide certificates confirming participation in the program. These certificates are necessary for qualification for such medical procedures.

How do we work?
Comprehensive Physical Therapy for Post-Stroke Hand Spasticity
Post-stroke hand rehabilitation focuses not only on the directly affected side but also on the indirectly impacted one—often perceived as the “healthy” side. This holistic approach ensures that therapy for improving hand functionality is comprehensive and maximally focused on restoring full function to the hand.
At our center, we rely exclusively on manual therapy methods. With over 30 years of experience, we have found that manual techniques yield the best results and are essential for professional functional recovery in post-stroke patients. This hands-on approach allows us to achieve precise, effective outcomes tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
How effective is the programme?
Realistic Progress in Hand Rehabilitation
Hand rehabilitation progress is often slower and less immediately visible compared to general functional recovery in post-stroke patients. However, based on our extensive experience and data, professionally conducted physiotherapy significantly increases the chances of restoring hand function.
This focused therapy not only improves the hand’s mobility but also enhances the patient’s overall independence in daily activities, contributing to a better quality of life.
What makes us diffrent?
Dedicated Team Approach
Each patient benefits from the expertise of 2 to 8 qualified therapists, working collaboratively to achieve the best rehabilitation outcomes.
Individualized Therapeutic Plans
Recognizing that every stroke patient has unique needs, we design personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to each individual.
Intensive Rehabilitation Schedule
Daily intensive neurological rehabilitation.
Intensive Rehabilitation Schedule
Over 3.5 hours of individual rehabilitation each day. From 54 to 108 individual sessions, each lasting 45 minutes.
Outpatient Rehabilitation Options
Patients can choose to stay off-site and arrange accommodations independently, including by the seaside, while still participating in our intensive rehabilitation programs.
Proven Effectiveness
Our patients consistently respond positively to our rehabilitation programs, demonstrating significant improvements in their recovery journey.
The influence of the hand on the entire rehabilitation process.
The Importance of Post-Stroke Hand Rehabilitation
The hand serves multiple functions, one of which is assisting in maintaining the body’s overall balance. This highlights the critical role of hand-focused physiotherapy in the broader stroke rehabilitation process.
Progress in hand-oriented physical therapy not only enhances upper-limb functionality but can also lead to significant improvements in gait quality. As a result, a targeted hand rehabilitation program contributes to the patient’s overall functional capacity, benefiting both the upper limbs and the entire body.
Accommodation at the centre
The Post-Stroke Hand Spasticity Rehabilitation program is designed for patients who do not require accommodation specifically adapted to the needs of people with disabilities.
•Our Apartments:
We offer private apartments located 800 meters to 3 kilometers from the rehabilitation center. These apartments provide a comfortable and independent stay while allowing easy access to therapy sessions at our facility.
•Outpatient Rehabilitation with External Accommodation:
Alternatively, patients can choose outpatient rehabilitation and arrange their own accommodation. This option offers greater flexibility, enabling you to select lodging that best suits your preferences and schedule.
When choosing an accommodation option, please ensure the patient’s health condition allows them to manage the selected arrangements comfortably.
Off-premises accommodation
The Post-Stroke Hand Spasticity Rehabilitation program is designed for ambulant patients, including those who may use crutches or walkers. For added flexibility, we also offer an outpatient rehabilitation option.
• Flexible Accommodation Arrangements:
With outpatient rehabilitation, you can organize your own accommodation and meals while attending therapy sessions at our center. This option provides great flexibility, as the start date of the program is not tied to the availability of on-site accommodation.
• Reduced Waiting Time:
The average waiting time for a slot at our facility with in-house accommodation is 4–6 months. By choosing outpatient rehabilitation, you can begin your therapy sooner.
• Wide Range of Accommodation Options:
Patients can select from a variety of accommodations near the Baltic Sea, in Koszalin, or the surrounding areas. Options include hotels, guesthouses, holiday homes, and apartments.
• Support in Finding Accommodation:
If needed, we can provide you with a list of recommended accommodations to help you find the most suitable option for your stay. This solution allows you to tailor your living arrangements to your preferences and needs.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Post-Stroke Hand Spasticity Rehabilitation Programme Effective for Those Who Had a Stroke Many Years Ago?
The answer to this question is nuanced but honest. Some patients achieve remarkable results within the first weeks of physical therapy. For others, progress may be more moderate, while a small number of patients may experience only minimal improvements. However, our approach—tailoring rehabilitation to the specific needs of each patient—ensures the best possible outcomes for everyone.
———- - Can You Help Patients Find Accommodation Near the Rehabilitation Centre or by the Seaside?
Yes, our staff will gladly assist you in finding accommodation and provide suggestions. However, it is the responsibility of the patient and their family to book the accommodation and cover the associated costs for lodging and meals during their stay.
