Rehabilitation Center, Synphaet Ramintra Hospital (Rehabilitation Center)

Restoring physical potential, returning fitness to the heart and lungs by a team of specialized doctors and international technology.

When the body is injured, sick, or has undergone surgery, treating the disease alone may not be enough. Many patients still face pain, muscle weakness, stiff joints, easy fatigue, or are unable to return to life and work at their full potential. Rehabilitation Medicine is a medical science that helps restore the functions of the body, heart, lungs, nervous system, and movement, enabling patients to return to daily life with confidence, safety, and a better quality of life. This is achieved through personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s physical condition.

The Rehabilitation Center at Synphaet Ramintra Hospital is ready to provide comprehensive and modern physical rehabilitation services. Cared for by specialists in rehabilitation medicine and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team and physical therapists, we combine international-standard medical equipment, orthoses, and rehabilitation technology to help patients return to living, working, and exercising at their full potential once again.

• Exercise Stress Test (EST): Evaluates electrocardiogram (ECG) during exercise to assess the heart’s response to physical exertion.
• Lung Function Test: Evaluates lung performance and the respiratory system.
• Gas Exchange Analysis: Analyzes oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange during exercise.
• Functional Assessment: Evaluates muscle strength, balance, flexibility, gait, and the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs).
