Karlsruhe, 3 April 2025 - For the third time, the still young CON.THERA therapist congress is bringing together leading experts in neurorehabilitation at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre. Sabine and Hans Lamprecht from the Lamprecht Fobis team, who are responsible for the content of the specialist congress, invite you to an interdisciplinary exchange together with their network - with the clear aim of further strengthening cooperation between the professional groups involved in therapeutic care. The focus will be on central questions of modern neurorehabilitation: How can therapeutic care be sustainably improved? What effect does guideline-based therapy have? And what influence does a holistic approach have on the treatment of stroke and Parkinson's patients as well as other neurological diseases? More information on the programme content can be found online at www.rehab-karlsruhe.com/conthera.
