The latest techniques and specialized treatment approaches
High-quality equipment, the latest global rehabilitation methods, and a team of highly experienced therapists guarantee a comprehensive and highly specialized approach to treating patients suffering from neurological and motor disabilities caused by stroke, spastic cerebral palsy, developmental delays, traumatic brain injury, hypoxic brain damage, and more. ... To achieve short-term and long-term rehabilitation goals, we mainly use a combination of therapeutic methods and concepts, which when brought together, lead to excellent treatment outcomes. Over the long term, patients' movement patterns and physical and mental skills improve, correct movement habits are restored, and muscles are strengthened. One of the important principles at Arkada Center for Physiotherapy and Neuro-Motor Rehabilitation in the Czech Republic is that the therapist has all the necessary options and equipment based on the patient’s needs and the available timeframe to achieve the best possible improvement in the patient’s health. Some exercises in the multi-sensory room are specially designed for patients with severe psychophysical disabilities. Sensory stimulation in a specially prepared dark room, integrating multiple therapeutic methods, enhances perception, improves spatial orientation, and stimulates concentration during rehabilitation. One of the fundamental principles of neurological rehabilitation is consistency. It is not enough for a person to undergo intensive rehabilitation once a year — the achieved results must be maintained and improved continuously throughout the year. This is why we offer training courses for family members accompanying the patient, teaching them skills and exercises to work on with their loved ones consistently. At Arkada Center for Physiotherapy and Neuro-Motor Rehabilitation in the Czech Republic, we are committed to providing the highest quality services to ensure the improvement of your health and quality of life. We offer innovative rehabilitation using advanced equipment and personalized programs tailored to meet your needs, with continuous support and personalized attention, providing a supportive environment that helps you achieve your maximum healing potential. We recognize the importance of proper care and specialized treatment for individuals suffering from motor impairments and neurological diseases. Therefore, at Arkada Center for Physiotherapy and Neuro-Motor Rehabilitation in the Czech Republic, we offer a wide range of modern, advanced, and effective methods and concepts to achieve the best rehabilitation outcomes, using the latest technologies and innovative techniques.

It is a complex and specialized concept for neuro-motor rehabilitation, designed for patients with neurological conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, brain injuries, hypoxic brain damage, post-meningitis conditions, encephalitis, etc. It is a special suit with specific belts based on the idea of using weight and resistance to stimulate muscles and improve movement. It is a rehabilitation system used in physical therapy to rehabilitate patients with movement disorders. This system is used as part of physical therapy programs to improve muscle strength, motor coordination, and balance in cases of cerebral palsy and balance and movement disorders. The TheraSuit method was created according to the latest research and global knowledge in physiology, stress medicine, neurology, and genetics. It reflects current experiences of intensive neurological rehabilitation from clinical practice. It is also called the space suit because it was developed by space industry doctors in Russia to prevent and eliminate damage to astronauts' nerves and muscle tissue in zero gravity. The flexible movement system continuously provides the brain with information even in an environment with insufficient impulses, allowing the stabilization of appropriate movement patterns. Thanks to the TheraSuit method, the patient's movement patterns and physical and mental skills change. The resulting effect of this rehabilitation is a transformation in sensorimotor development, improved self-sufficiency, changes in the body's ability to coordinate in space, changes in pathological reflexes, restoration of correct movement habits, and enhancement of muscle strength.
It is an orthotic clothing system designed to assist in the correct guidance of movement while simulating the therapist's manual exercise and supervising movement and supporting the guidance of muscles and joints. These garments are used during physical therapy sessions to improve body posture and guide movement correctly. They were developed to support and improve motor functions and balance in individuals with movement disorders or those needing to improve their motor abilities. They are used to improve motor posture, strengthen muscles, improve balance, and treat movement disorders. The major advantage of the full-body orthotic suit is that the patient can wear the suit daily for hours without disrupting the daily program. The body adapts to the long-term use of the garments and gradually changes and improves movement stereotypes. Daily wear allows integrating the therapeutic effect into the home environment. The TheraTogs suit is designed for patients with sensorimotor impairment and is a highly effective method for improving body posture stability, movement and precision skills, joint stability, somatosensory system activation, trunk stability, and limb function improvement.
Snoezelen is a special interactive environment aimed at stimulating an individual's senses and providing a comfortable, relaxing experience. This type of therapy is used for patients with autism spectrum disorders, stroke, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, brain injuries, hypoxic brain damage, post-meningitis conditions, encephalitis, etc. Snoezelen is considered a unique therapeutic approach used to enhance comfort, reduce stress, and stimulate the senses. It is used in many fields to help improve quality of life and social interaction for individuals. The Snoezelen environment includes a specially designed room containing soft, changing lighting with different colors to stimulate visual senses, the use of calm music and natural sounds to stimulate auditory senses, the use of gentle fragrances and scents to stimulate olfactory senses, and a variety of different materials and surfaces to stimulate tactile senses. The colored lights, soothing sounds, music, and fragrances calm the nervous system, stimulate the senses, and improve mood. It also provides an opportunity for interaction, exploration, and experimentation by offering a variety of tools and materials that individuals can freely explore and use. Snoezelen is considered a flexible and adaptable method that can be customized according to an individual's needs, abilities, and preferences. Snoezelen is used for many purposes, including improving relaxation and reducing anxiety in people with special needs, improving communication and social participation, alleviating pain, and improving mood. The Snoezelen concept at Arcada for motor and neurological rehabilitation is designed on the unique environment of the underwater world over an area of more than 200 meters. Treatment in this environment, thanks to the comprehensive integration of a set of exercises, coordinates the body's energy system, in addition to the gradual adjustment and development of all body functions, including a positive impact on communication skills and psychomotor development, and helps improve health and reduce the consequences of disability.
The Integrated MAC concept is a unique method of neurological rehabilitation for unifying movement, auditory stimulation, and social communication skills. It is a comprehensive neurological rehabilitation program designed for patients with neurological deficits and is unique in the Czech Republic. Regular repetition of treatment improves motor coordination, balance, rhythm, and body schema support. It works on muscle stabilization, memory development, focus, attention, auditory processing, mental effort, thought regulation, etc. Repeated stimulation of neurons helps improve neural networking between new neurons. The more frequently neurons are stimulated, the better they are functionally organized and able to process information faster. Specific, multisensory, and repeated stimulation of neurons improves the perception of body information as well as the surrounding environment. The program focuses on the interacting triad of components: music - movement - speech It is an integrated approach that combines music, movement, and speech. It is an integrated method that builds foundations and supports physical regulation. The better the body's regulation, the better the brain's regulation. The better the brain's regulation, the better the person is able to process information from the surrounding environment, with improved attention and learning ability. The main benefits of the Integrated MAC program are that with increased speed of stimulus processing, children are better able to pay attention and understand faster; the interaction of hearing and vision leads to brain development and thus intelligence development; the integration of motor and cognitive skills improves brain function; and emotional control is improved, enhancing communication ability and reducing anger episodes and seizures. The goal of the Integrated MAC program is to train attention, behavior and emotional control, and improve thinking skills and cognitive functions.
The concept of hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy is an innovative and effective therapeutic method used to increase oxygen concentration in body tissues. This technique is used in many medical and therapeutic fields to accelerate the healing process and improve overall health for individuals. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber enhances oxygen concentration in the body by providing an environment containing air pressure higher than normal atmospheric pressure. The person enters the chamber and it is tightly closed, then the pressure inside the chamber is increased to push more oxygen into the tissues. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber is considered a valuable tool in the field of physical therapy. This technique offers benefits for individuals suffering from many medical conditions. The benefits of hyperbaric oxygen chamber in physical therapy are: - Enhancing oxygen flow: The hyperbaric oxygen chamber increases oxygen pressure in the body, which enhances oxygen flow to various tissues and organs. This helps improve tissue regeneration and muscle building. - Improving neurological functions: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy helps improve functions of the central and peripheral nervous systems. It contributes to increased oxygen flow in the brain and nerve cells, leading to increased production of neurons, improved growth, and enhanced neural communication between them. - Reducing inflammation: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a powerful tool for reducing body inflammation. Increased oxygen pressure can enhance the body's ability to fight inflammation and reduce swelling in damaged tissues. - Improving blood vessels: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves blood flow and blood vessel functions. Oxygen works to improve tissue perfusion and better distribution of nutrients and oxygen in the body.

Stimulation therapy is a treatment and educational approach focused on providing sensory and motor experiences to individuals with severe or profound disabilities. This therapeutic method aims to promote overall development and communication for individuals with limited physical and mental abilities. The concept was developed based on the understanding that individuals with severe disabilities have limited sensory experiences and physical interaction with their environment. Stimulation therapy addresses this by providing meaningful, multi-sensory input to the body’s basic sensory systems, which govern essential functions and sensory perception. The therapy emphasizes creating an encouraging environment that promotes active participation using touch, rhythmic movements, and specific sensory stimuli like sound, vibration, and light, applied carefully to different body parts to enhance awareness and sensory perception. It aims to enhance body awareness, sensory perception, and motor skills. Therapy sessions are conducted by trained professionals who design customized programs based on each individual’s needs and abilities. It’s especially beneficial for individuals with severe disabilities, including profound intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, or sensory impairments. It facilitates relaxation, reduces anxiety, and boosts a sense of safety, confidence, and emotional expression.
