After a successful written and practical exam the participants are authorized
to apply the three-dimensional scoliosis therapy according to Katharina
Schroth. They are admitted to the international list of Schroth therapists.
The cooperation with these therapists creates a network which makes
it possible to continue this specific treatment on an out-patient basis
before or after the rehabilitation.

Our clinic organizes regular symposiums about spinal deformities and
treatment. Experts from our clinic and international professionals inform

Active and creative – Organized Free-time for all

In the evening of all weekdays and at the weekends patients
have different possibilities to spend their free-time individually.

The team who is responsible for organizing the free-time

always comes up with new ideas for those who want to
spend their free-time actively, for example by doing sports,
by hiking, taking part in competitions, playing social games
or other activities and for those who choose more creative
activities as for example doing handicrafts.

„There is always action here.

Boring? - No way!“

Indoor and outdoor – enough Space for spending Free-time

Our patients have enough rooms and areas to spend their
free-time actively. They can use two large rooms provided
for free-time, an indoor pool, tables for playing table tennis,
a place for playing beach volley ball, a field for soccer and
basket ball.

Our young patients can regularly watch films for children

among others blockbusters. In front of our big screen they
nearly get the feeling of being in a cinema. They can take
part in the public viewing of important sport contests or
karaoke and disco nights and get raised up by the euphoria.
Our team also organizes beauty sessions or inform about
many interesting subjects.

Just leaving for a While – Excursions to the Surrounding Areas

Enjoying free-time together with others makes much more
fun, for example during guided tours through the vineyards
and woods around Bad Sobernheim. We also organize
excursions and visits. The programs which are thoroughly
set up by our team are highlights and are widely accepted
by the patients.

The region has a lot to offer. For more information please

Where Saint Hildegard lived – The Abbey on the Disibodenberg

The ruins of the abbey can be seen on the top of the Disiboden-
berg embedded in the charming landscape between the “Glan”
and “Nahe” rivers. The abbey is surrounded by a romantic
park (created by Johann Metzger, the famous garden architect
of Heidelberg), from which you have a wonderful view over
the landscape. Here, Saint Hildegard began to write down her
visions which are still of great importance for many people.
