Our thoughts emotions, our postures and movements are the history of our lives and they have taken toll during the years, 3H Rehab is not just any holiday, it is the beginning of a new outlook towards health, well-being and mindfulness.

EXERCISE AND MOVEMENT AND EDUCATION IN THE GARDEN:

– Self-care and preventative exercises are taught so that they can be done at home. They are based on a range of techniques such as: Rolfing Movement Integration, Alexander Technique, Trager, Eutonía and others.

– Patient Education: We offer several lectures and slide shows so that patients can take back home some practical ideas. We consider patient education to be essential. As rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic, chronic disease that requires periodic, long-term treatment, we also consider the integration in a group to be a very important support. The physiotherapist will explain carefully the purpose of exercise and rest and the balance between them. Ergonomics and self-care is also emphasised in our daily treatments in order to prevent deformities and promote economy and ease of function. We consider it imperative when working with a client with a chronic disease to get to know the patient better and to gain more understanding of this unique person and the nature of his or her disease, individual life style and needs. We teach respect for pain, activities of daily life, ways to maintain muscle strength and range of motion, how to avoid deforming positions and to use necessary adaptive equipment.

– Techniques of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation are utilised in the strengthening of the muscles of the neck, shoulder girdle and upper limbs. The same techniques are used to improve chest wall mobility and improve ventilation for other arthritic conditions.

– Isometric and isotonic exercises.

– Coordination, toning and flexibility exercises with different sizes of physio balls.

– TheraBand Exercises to increase general strength.

– We consider that fine motor co-ordination exercises for the hands and feet are an essential therapeutic intervention for both the upper and lower appendicle muscle chains. Stepping, walking and cycling machines for the refinement of gait.

– Crawling devices, specifically for chronic back pain or MB Bechterew.

– Vibration Platforms to help with strength and balance.

– Balance exercises, to help in the prevention of falls and to create confidence and stability.

– FLAMENCO a great discovery for our clients, a way of moving from the centre with spontaneity and enjoying the music.

– TAI JI consider one of the best exercises for Rheumatic patients.

Our programme works in groups or individually. The programme is designed depending on the needs of each person and not in a standard way. It is a new step towards holistic direction and entirely for our clients. Many of our clients return to us for additional treatment which satisfies us greatly and encourages us to respond with up to date knowledge.

During the last few years we have treated 2500 patients through the Swedish Companies Travel Point/Haga Rehab and Haga Livscenter with the 3H Rehab concept including young rheumatic children, as we do not only treat adults. In the case of programmes for children we have the opportunity to teach them how to look after themselves, guide then with their personal care, this is a fundamental aspect for pathology in chronic systems in order to supply ideas and knowledge for simple acts in everyday life which can better their way of life in a natural way.

Furthermore, the possibility to carry out open air activities, be it in gardens or on the beach is very encouraging for our perception of our surroundings.

Our programme is evolutionary and we are continuously training with our hopes and wishes to do our very best as professionals this brought us to name it 3H Rehab.

We chose this name because our concept is much more than treatment for the symptoms, we study each individual and treat them so that they achieve a better quality of life and prevention.

We want people who are willing to get involved with the process of recuperation and therefore enable a team to be formed between patient and therapist.

We encourage our clients to nourish themselves in a correct way and take care with water, food and wrest. We provide the necessary education so that they are able to look after themselves now and in the future.

The 3H refers to hands, head and heart.
