Located on the Swiss side of Lake Constance, the clinic is renowned for its leadership in treating neurological diseases and its pioneering efforts in neurorehabilitation and research.

The DIH Center of Excellence program recognizes strategic partners that showcase best practices in rehabilitation robotics while demonstrating how DIH therapy solutions contribute to successful patient outcomes.

The recognition as a DIH Center of Excellence underlines the Zihlschlacht’s commitment to advancing neurological care through innovation and state-of-the-art technology.

Aligned with Zihlschlacht’s core motto, "We bring you back to the things you love," the clinic's collaboration with DIH demonstrates a mutual commitment to empowering patients throughout their recovery process. This recognition not only celebrates the clinic's remarkable impact on neurorehabilitation but also underscores its determination to improve patients' well-being with innovative technology and compassionate care.

 "The appointment of Rehaklinik Zihlschlacht as the first DIH Center of Excellence in Switzerland is a testament to their outstanding achievements in neurorehabilitation,” said Andrés Bataszew, International Sales Director DIH - Direct Markets. “Their dedication to leveraging our advanced robotic therapy solutions to improve patient outcomes sets a new standard in the field. We look forward to continuing our collaboration to push the boundaries of neurorehabilitation."

Our primary goal is to provide our patients with the best possible rehabilitation experience. It fills us with pride that we can contribute and further expand our expertise in the use of technology in rehabilitation.
