Support Services

The Department of Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation at Hanoi French Hospital provides comprehensive rehabilitation services for both inpatients and outpatients.

Each treatment program is individualized, beginning with a thorough assessment of the patient’s overall health condition, including underlying diseases, cognitive, language, motor, pelvic floor, and sphincter functions, as well as swallowing disorders if present. Based on these assessments, doctors and therapists develop personalized treatment plans with specific goals to restore functions and improve the patient’s quality of life. Throughout the therapy process, the medical team closely monitors progress, adjusts methods and intensity as needed, and applies modern techniques to optimize recovery outcomes.

The department also emphasizes patient and family education, offering detailed guidance so patients can continue their exercises and physical activity routines at home. This approach helps reinforce treatment results, minimize secondary complications, and reduce the risk of relapse.

The department provides rehabilitation and therapeutic interventions across various specialties, including:

• Post-surgical and orthopedic rehabilitation: helping patients regain mobility after joint replacement, arthroscopy, bone or joint correction, or sports injuries.
