Assessment
We review your discharge summary and treatment plan and define the format and length of the programme.
Rehabilitation
In Switzerland, recovery is a discipline of its own: clinics in the mountains and on the lakeshore, where medicine meets tranquillity and nature.
About the specialty
Recovery as part of treatment
The rehabilitation programme begins together with the treatment plan. The format is chosen to fit your goal: outpatient recovery, an inpatient programme after surgery, or spa treatment with thermal baths.
Water therapy in warm thermal water, with classic hydrotherapy, aqua Pilates, Watsu and the Ragazer Ring method, takes the load off the joints and allows movement to begin earlier than on land. It is complemented by physiotherapy, medical training therapy and sessions with a personal trainer.
The programme is based on measurable indicators: Back-Check and Medi-Mouse spine tests, body composition analysis and endurance assessment. The partner centre's sports medicine department has been recognised as a Swiss Olympic Medical Center since 2004.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
How much does a rehabilitation programme cost?
The cost depends on the format, duration and scope of treatments. We request the cost estimate from the clinic and pass it on to you before you arrive, with a clear statement of what the programme and accommodation include.
Can I get a professor's opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a review of your records and a second opinion from a professor in the relevant field, before any travel is planned.
How long does it take to organise the trip?
Usually 5–10 working days, depending on urgency and whether a visa is required.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
A medical interpreter accompanies you to your appointments and remains available throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why come through CorSwiss rather than directly to a clinic?
We are your independent representative and a full-service Swiss medical concierge. We select the best specialist for your case from across Switzerland, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent cost estimate before treatment begins. From there, everything is in one pair of hands: medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation, including for those travelling with you, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical matter. Your personal medical manager guides your case from the first enquiry until you return home, and stays in touch afterwards: we monitor results remotely and coordinate your follow-up.
