Giving patients a voice again 🗣️
Our speech therapists are important members of our interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams at Kliniken Schmieder. They help patients learn to speak, understand and communicate again: step by step and word by word.
Speech therapy can support patients after conditions such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, for example with:
• speaking and understanding 🗨️
• swallowing (eating and drinking safely) 🥤
• memory and attention for everyday communication 🧠
Because being able to communicate means connection, independence, and quality of life ❤️
Today is the European Speech Therapy Day! We want to take the opportunity to thank you for your expertise, empathy and teamwork 👏

Have you ever heard of neuroplasticity?🧠
-------------
It is one of the most fascinating abilities of the human brain and a key principle of neurological rehabilitation.
Neuroplasticity describes the brain’s ability to adapt, reorganize, and build new connections, especially after injury. This means that even after a neurological condition such as a stroke or traumatic brain injury, the brain can relearn skills, develop new pathways, and improve function step by step through targeted therapy and training.
Because the brain is designed to learn throughout life.
At Kliniken Schmieder, our rehabilitation programs are designed to support neuroplasticity and help patients regain or improve movement, sensation, speech, and cognition — even many months or years after an injury.

Interdisciplinary. Individual. Tailored to you.✨
-------------
At Kliniken Schmieder, rehabilitation is never “one-size-fits-all.” Every patient is unique, and so is every recovery journey.
That’s why our specialists work hand in hand across disciplines. Because when different professional perspectives come together, the full strength of each individual expertise unfolds:
By sharing observations, exchanging insights and continuously adjusting therapy goals, we can refine treatment plans in real time — always focused on what matters most: your progress, your independence and your quality of life.
Together, we turn expertise into impact.☺️

Thank you to our patients, families and staff for your trust and support. 🤝
We wish you a healthy, positive start to 2026 and all the best for the months ahead. 🎆

The Kliniken Schmieder are one of the world leading Neurological Rehabilitation clinics with many medical experts. We treat neurological patients of all degrees of severity and in all stages of acute and rehabilitative recovery. We thus provide the complete chain of Neurological Rehabilitation one-stop, throughout all stages of the neurological phase model (Phase A to Phase F).
Our story began in 1950, when Prof. Dr. Friedrich Schmieder founded the first clinic in Gailingen on the High-Rhine. Nowadays, he is considered a pioneer and forerunner in the field of Neurological Rehabilitation. Early on, Prof. Schmieder was convinced that professional and intensive treatment, even a long time after the brain-injuring incident, could improve the neurological performance. His assumption turned out to be true, as modern neurological research proves.
Further clinics followed: Allensbach in 1974, Konstanz in 1994, in 1995 our day clinic in Stuttgart, 1998 Stuttgart-Gerlingen and 2001 in Heidelberg. Large extension buildings opened in Gerlingen in 2009 and 2011 in Heidelberg.
Since 1950 Kliniken Schmieder has been persistent in its goal of providing neurological patients with the best possible treatment. Annually, 1 800 employees in our six clinics (Gailingen, Allensbach, Konstanz, Stuttgart, Gerlingen, Heidelberg) all over Baden-Württemberg are treating over 14 000 neurological patients. The six different clinics are strongly interconnected, but offer different medical emphases.
In order to promote the further development of our employees, the clinic has set up a teaching institute (ZENITH) in 1991 where therapists, doctors and nurses are trained in continuing education and professional development courses.
In 1997, the Lurija Institute for rehabilitation and health sciences was founded in a joint venture of Kliniken Schmieder and the University of Constance. Since then, numerous research projects on Neurological Rehabilitation have resulted from this cooperation. Our Lurija Institute generates important stimuli for research and thus develops new therapy strategies for our patients. In addition to working with the University of Constance, Kliniken Schmieder is involved in numerous research-cooperations with the Universities of Freiburg, Heidelberg, Tübingen, Mannheim and Magdeburg.
Our family-run establishment has actively helped to shape the history of Neurological Rehabilitation and has set new medical and therapeutic standards and impulses. Our goal is to support our patients and - if possible - to try to bring them back into their old or a new working environment.
