therapeuten zijn erg betrokken en vakbekwaam.

Na twee jaar met rugklachten bij Arjan Kuipers terecht gekomen. Een inmiddels gediagnostiseerde Stenose met talrijke adviezen van net zo veel andere specialisten niet onder controle kunnen krijgen. Na een intake en een eerste behandeling voor een groot deel pijnvrij. Ik kan het zelf haast niet geloven maar geniet er van. Ik denk dat het juist die uitgebreide ervaring als chiropractor is, in combinatie met zijn neurologische kennis, waardoor hij me zo goed heeft kunnen helpen.

Nog maar net begonnen met behandeling, dus resultaat kan nog niet beoordeeld worden. Echter, tot op heden ben ik positief gestemd.

Nu al meer duidelijkheid gekregen waar nog verbeteringen mogelijk zijn en waar de zwaktes liggen Ik ben erg benieuwd naar de testuitslagen en de oefeningen die verder herstel mogelijk maken.

What stands out for me, having spent two weeks in Cyprus with my wife, Carol (five years post-stroke) is the dedication that Linda and Arjan give to providing not only the practical tools to make recovery possible, but also the hope that recovery can and will continue. I was able to observe the close attention that all of the wonderful team gave to Carol’s specific needs and personality, which perhaps isn’t always the case in environments where you feel more like a “patient” rather than acknowledged as an individual. I was also impressed that this same level of attention was given to each and every one of the other seven people attending, and my guess is that they all had the same very positive experience as us. I say us, since I’m not alone in thinking of my wife’s stroke as having happened to both of us, and as a partner and carer I can say that I probably gained as much as Carol from the experience of being around other people in a similar situation, who understand how isolating it can often feel. I mustn’t forget to emphasise what enormous fun the two weeks was, despite the hard work. The task now is to continue putting things into practice, having been sent home with a tailored exercise programme, but we are both re-energised and inspired to carry on in rainy England with what we learned in sunny Cyprus.

What an amazing 2weeks.
We were 8 stroke survivors all with stories to tell mainly how the system had struggled to cope with our needs in rehab. One lady had crowd funded herself and come from Australia another guy from Singapore, a lovely German lady and come all by herself and coped really well whilst the rest had a partner or a friend with them. We were collected on monday morning by the lovely Kristal (who speaks 4 languages I think, possibly 5!) and arrived at the most amazing training centre overlooking the sea and were meet by linda and Arjen. We all had various disabilities, mainly one side of the body or the other being very weak(if working at all), some with limited Speech. But all of us optimistic that we would be able to perhaps make some progress but at least come away with the building blocks for our future full/partial recovery.
We were not disappointed.
It was like a breath of fresh air. We were welcomed by enthusiastic , professional , experienced clinicians who were all experts in their fields. Linda and Arjen led the whole team, with regular morning meetings to discuss us all and to keep our rehab very personalised to our needs as they found out more about us. They did various scientific test on us at the beginning and end which helped them plan our rehab and monitor our successes. We did loads of strength exercises on inflatable mats, mini trampolines, reformers(Pilates) had amazing massages by the talented Spiro,..lots of walking on different surfaces, they got a few of us running (think granny shuffle but a start).My highlight was they got me cycling.....amazing.
We had pressurised oxygen therapy, lots of exercises in the pool and help to try and get us back swimming, a couple in our group were flying up and down the heated pool. There was Speech therapy for those who needed it . Hypnotherapy which particularly worked well for me where the amazing Luz worked at trying to pull subconscious memories of me striding across fields like i have done for years in my past to my conscious state to improve my walking, it really worked.
It was an exhausting two weeks but full of joy and laughter and optimism. I would thoroughly recommend to those who are driven to improve. It is very hard work so go prepared to throw everything at it -6 hrs rehab a day! .
Linda and Arjen are an amazing couple .However if these courses are outside your price range please look at their online programme which is free and full of many of the same exercises. find it at brain.rehab
Many of us found our way to this amazing place by reading Linda's book first. It will make you cry to start with as it is all of us stroke victims story but then it gives you so much hope.Linda Radestad-Stroke Rebel ......a great read.

Title: A Transformative Journey of Healing: My Stroke Rehab Vacation at Cyprus Clinic
My name is Érica Ureña, I want to share my heartfelt experience at Cyprus Clinic after having a stroke at the age of 46 while on an anniversary cruise with my husband, Johnny. This rehab vacation was a much-needed journey for both of us, allowing us to continue our travels while focusing on my brain's recovery.

Cyprus Clinic provided the perfect escape from the hustle of city life, offering a serene environment where I could solely concentrate on my well-being for two weeks. The personalized attention from each trainer made all the difference, and their carefully planned schedule kept me motivated throughout the entire journey.

One of the highlights was Linda's daughter, Madeline, who sweetly made us coffee, adding a warm touch to our experience. Witnessing Linda's dedication during our workouts was truly inspiring, and her presence was a driving force behind my progress.

Arjun's expertise in providing special diet tips not only helped me during the rehab but also equipped me with knowledge to continue a healthy lifestyle beyond my stay. Additionally, his thoughtful gesture of sending me home with special workout videos has been invaluable in maintaining my progress throughout the year.

Looking back, my time at Cyprus Clinic was not just a rehab vacation but a transformative experience that allowed me to focus on myself and my recovery fully. I am grateful for the support and care I received from the entire team, and I can't wait to return for next year's vacation. Cyprus Clinic has become a place close to my heart. Linda gifted us all books with a special motivational message to keep motivated the days I’m not feeling up to working out “just five minutes is enough”. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a journey of healing and rejuvenation.

Professioneel en kundig. Aanrader

Vriendelijke ontvangst en goede begeleiding!

Ik wilde de hersentesten doen om aan te kunnen tonen dat ik last heb van prikkels. Ze geven aan dat hun daar niet bij kunnen helpen. Bij een vraag over de vergoeding geven ze aan dat het veel geld kost en met verslag erbij nog meer. En dat de testen enkel wat plaatjes opleveren. Ze geven dus niet eens een prijsopgave of advies hierin terwijl ik op de site toch een prijslijst zie bij testen. Onprofessionele houding, geven geen concrete antwoorden op de mail. De nonchalante houding is opmerkelijk. Waarom zou iemand die testen doen als je er niets mee kunt. Klinkt als nepperij.

Het feit dat jullie wel mensen willen helpen die mogelijk nog deels kunnen revalideren. Maar niet mensen die al jaren lang last hebben omdat iets definitief beschadigd is zegt al genoeg. Ook kunnen jullie dus blijkbaar niets aantonen met die hersentesten. Dus mensen zijn wanhopig en jullie helpen zogenaamd maar natuurlijke weg is er vanaf de verse oorzaak altijd wel een beetje herstel mogelijk en dat schrijven jullie jezelf dan toe. Bah.

Ik ben al vaker geweest. De behandeling van Arjan werkt effectief en vind dat hij een fijne persoonlijkheid heeft.

Fantastic Rehabilitation programs. I have been twice with my husband, who had a stroke, and we are booking a third! It is a wonderful experience. Lovely spending time with Linda and Arjun.

Arjan and Linda are wonderful people who have a real passion – and most importantly – the skills to facilitate this stroke rehab programme. It was an enlightening, uplifting and positive experience in total.

I had a stroke in January 2021 and suffered significant restricted left side arm, hand and leg movement. There had been some reasonable recovery but progress had plateaued.

We found Brain Rehab by a chance from an WhatsApp posted by Recovery After Stroke. We then saw Linda’s amazing story told through her book, video and TedTalk. This convinced us to sign up. In addition, Arjan provided us with contact details of a stoke patient who had attended the previous Cyprus programme who we subsequently met and again the feedback was 100% positive.

On arrival at the clinic on Day 1 everything was very relaxed although very professional. The initial day of 6 x 1-hour sessions was planned and all sessions were 1 on 1 - although there were two therapists per patient on several sessions. The clinic is based at their own residential property. This is fully kitted out with a gym with equipment and a wide range of other therapy aids to meet the requirements of patients in different stages of rehab. Subject to weather (it was lovely when we were there in early April) sessions were often held outdoors but with complete privacy from outsiders. The 1 to 1 pool therapy meant there was sole use of their own large and heated outdoor pool which was very stimulating.

Most patients brought a packed lunch eaten on the outside terraces. Partners and carers were welcome to join. The atmosphere was very relaxed and gave a great opportunity to share knowledge and experiences. It was a uniquely positive experience.

The therapists were excellent with the right balance of encouragement and understanding of what was possible for each patient. The hourly change around of activity and therapists worked seamlessly. Arjan and Linda attended throughout the day, every day. Whilst Arjan worked with patients himself he still managed to quietly identify any changes required to the therapists activity going on around him which were then incorporated very effectively.

I would recommend this programme to patients with a wide range of disability resulting from their stroke as Arjan and Linda will customise the two-week programme to your personal needs. We left with advice, a therapy program shortly followed by a zoom appointment to check on progress.

This was a very special rehab experience run by special people and one we very much hope to repeat.

Na een fors auto-ongeluk had ik nog lang klachten van een hersenschudding (vermoeidheid, overprikkeling, cognitieve problemen). Herstel ging niet meer vanzelf. Na de test bij Arjan wordt duidelijk welke delen van mijn brein minder goed functioneren. De intensieve week behandeling was hard werken, maar wat mij het meest is bijgebleven is de fantastische zorg: op mij afgestemd, hoopvol en ondersteunend! Nu, een half jaar na behandeling ben ik erg dankbaar voor deze kans, herstel verloopt nog altijd, maar ik heb perspectief. Ik kan iedereen de goede zorgen van Brain& Spine aanraden.
