About De Hoogstraat Revalidatie
At De Hoogstraat, adults and children rehabilitate with complex and often permanent problems of the posture and locomotor apparatus or of movement, communication, cognition or behavior as a result of neurological disorders.
We are the chain specialist who combines the treatment of the patient in the acute phase after an illness or accident with his equipment for renewed self-reliance. For children with a congenital disorder, this means that from the early years of development and growth, we make a maximum effort to make the most of the child's potential for development.
We always work family-oriented. Partner, parents, children and / or friends provide the patient with strength and support. Their information and their insights can focus and strengthen our professional capabilities and they can also call on our knowledge and capabilities for their own questions.
We offer an eye and ear to the wishes of the patient and his loved ones at every location in the network. We have the knowledge and experience necessary to help young and old by providing adequate information, targeted treatment, solid training and smart (technical) adjustments along the shortest route to the greatest possible self-reliance.
We can do this through the support of the volunteers.
