Encouraging experiences
Each rehabilitation is individual – yet every story talks about personal strength, progress and hope. Rehab is not an easy option: It requires patience, endurance and the will to always push through one’s limits. Our patients talk about how they found their way back to independent living at VITREA. These experiences prove the difference our work makes: individual care, trust and measurable success.

“Everyone who works here, from the doctors and therapists to the nursing staff, is so positive and friendly. They are always happy to help and point you in the right direction. Of course, people are different but they manage to motivate you to reach your limits, in the knowledge that everyone has their own limits.” (translation))

“I am absolutely thrilled. Professional therapists and diverse therapies.”
“I spent two weeks receiving treatment at Dussnang and am absolutely thrilled. A wonderful, state-of-the-art facility with a wonderful park and original Kneipp garden. The entire building enjoys a positive and cheerful atmosphere. The therapists are extremely professional and there is a wide variety of treatments. The food is amazingly varied and always carefully presented. Staff in all areas were friendly and helpful. I felt great and would recommend the Dussnang rehab center to anyone who needs it.”

“The Zihlschlacht rehab clinic was always there for our son Dario and always fought for him and his life.
“Our son, now 24, had an accident in 2011 and received repeated treatments over a long period of time at the Zihlschlacht rehab center. He always felt welcome and was looked after with the utmost care and compassion.
Our son and our whole family were always treated with great kindness and understanding. We never felt like he was just another patient.
The Zihlschlacht rehab clinic was always there for our son Dario and always fought for him and his life. The rehabilitation at the clinic made it possible for Dario to return to his life with his family. He has been back with us at home since April 2017.
We can recommend the Zihlschlacht rehab clinic and their treatment plans to anyone. We are happy to remain in touch with the facility and would welcome another inpatient treatment should it be needed.”
Dario T., Austria
“Excellent, close-knit medical care and a dedicated, skilled therapeutic team.”
“After a long illness, I had considerable problems walking (anything over 50m only with Nordic Walking poles, significant balance difficulties, permanent risk of falling). The Zihlschlacht rehab clinic was recommended to me by a friend. All of my expectations were met or exceeded there.
Zihlschlacht provides quick and accurate information about accommodation and therapy options when you enquire. The service was always friendly, very good, hotel-style accommodation, excellent food, and most importantly, excellent, close-knit medical care with highly dedicated and skilled therapeutic staff. The clinic’s facilities are good or very good in every way.
I spent five weeks here. In the morning, every patient receives a personal therapy plan which occupies them from 8.30am to 4.30pm. Treatments range from a high-tech treadmill with video analysis, all sorts of strength and robotics machines and aqua aerobics to Qi Gong breathing exercises. There are also ongoing progress measurements.
At the end of my stay, I didn’t need a walker any longer, had regained much of my sense of balance and a much better quality of life.
Unfortunately, Zihlschlacht has not yet found a way for the clinical staff to do the sometimes sweat-inducing exercises on behalf of the patient. So for now, you’ll need to muster up some sweat and willpower yourself...
Thank you for everything.”

“I got to know and love my ‘new life’ here.”
“After successful aortic valve surgery, I was able to spend 3 weeks recovering at the Seewis rehab clinic. The warm atmosphere was evident from the moment we arrived. This was a running theme for the entire stay. The guest is king here. Professionalism and empathy come together, from arrival to room service, meals, physiotherapy, nursing care, doctors right up to the medical director, Dr. M. Genoni. “I got to know and love my ‘new life’ here.”
