Before your appointment

Identify the daily activities you want to improve. Home or workplace information helps assess equipment, adaptations and support.

Time, hospital stay & appointments

Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.

Procedure or course duration
Assessment and follow-up depend on the tasks and environment being addressed.
Hospital stay
Often outpatient. Inpatient rehabilitation is a separate care setting chosen according to medical, nursing and functional needs.
Visits and repeat attendance
Start with an assessment, then agree the number and length of supervised sessions and review points. Request the actual weekly timetable; home practice is not counted as a hospital visit.
Recovery and travel planning
The plan may combine practice, equipment and new strategies. Review whether the changes improve safety and independence in the real setting.

Sources & finding a provider

The specialty directories below help you research providers in each country; they do not confirm this procedure at every centre. The receiving service confirms eligibility, availability and international-patient acceptance. Procedure-specific clinical references are listed separately.
