What patients say about us
What sets our rehabilitation stays apart
One-of-a-kind therapy programmes— 100% individual therapy
What makes rehabilitation at the Norman centre unique comes down to a few simple principles: we do not use generic programmes, each patient’s stay is always matched to their current needs and the stage of their condition, including rebuilding cognitive functions such as memory and concentration, and we treat every patient and their family the way we would want to be treated in a difficult situation.

General information
Key features of our rehabilitation stays
Below we present selected features that are characteristic of the rehabilitation stays we deliver. The therapy plan is always tailored individually to the patient’s condition and abilities at the time of arrival at the centre. If you are wondering about the length of the process, it is worth knowing how long rehabilitation after a stroke takes.

Stay and accommodation
A homely atmosphere, not a hospital one
We have created conditions as close to home as possible. Every patient has their own room with a bathroom, which they share with a close relative. This private space provides a sense of security and undisturbed rest after the sessions.
We also run rehabilitation stays with accommodation in apartments outside the centre. These stays offer earlier dates and a lower price.
- A private room with a bathroom for the patient and carer
- Television and internet, an electrically adjustable bed
- Meals freshly prepared at the centre (3 a day)
- Medical transport — stretcher and wheelchair — from anywhere in Poland
For many patients and their families, we are the first choice.

“The best place for rehabilitation after a stroke. A wonderful atmosphere that motivates you to exercise, created by a team of professional and warm-hearted physiotherapists. After two rehabilitation stays, the patient made incredible progress and regained her independence. Highly recommended.”

“After a long search, we found the NORMAN Centre. Following a severe stroke and paralysis, my mother was bedbound. Within a few days she began to sit up on her own, within a week she was moving across to a wheelchair, and she can now stand with support. Thank you to the whole team for their tremendous effort, empathy and help. We recommend them one hundred per cent.”

Frequently asked questions
Questions? We have answers
Patients after a stroke who are not independent always come to our centre accompanied by a close relative acting as a carer. Relatives can also take part in the rehabilitation sessions, observing them and learning approaches that may prove useful once back at home.
Unlike most private rehabilitation centres, we also work with bedridden patients. We try to give a chance to everyone who has no contraindications to physical rehabilitation. Our experience shows that in 90% of cases bedridden patients see a significant improvement in their health.
The chances are high, though this is very individual and depends on a great many factors. We do not disqualify patients based on the extent of the stroke — we work both with bedridden patients and with those who can move independently.
The standard schedule is 5×45 minutes a day of individual rehabilitation only. Sessions take place with breaks, and the effort is dosed so that its level always stays within the patient’s capabilities. We work in the same way with patients who have cardiac conditions. Thanks to a minimum of 5 therapeutic units a day, we are able to achieve a therapeutic effect without overloading the patient.
The state of health indicated by the medical records very often differs from the condition we see once the patient arrives at the centre. That is why the only thing you decide on at the time of booking is the length of the rehabilitation stay. Every patient is assessed for their current motor abilities and needs. Usually, after the first 2 sessions we know which procedures to apply — at that point we present the therapeutic goals and the therapy plan.
The rehabilitation stay is privately funded. Co-funding may be available from PFRON, MOPS or non-governmental organisations and foundations. We are happy to advise on the formalities — call us and we will let you know about the current options.
