The Klalit Physiotherapy Institute at the Grand Canyon in Haifa combines technological innovation with a humane and professional approach. The institute, located in a strategic location in the heart of the city, has maximum accessibility and provides a comprehensive medical response to the residents of Haifa and the surrounding area.
The head of the institute is Anat Panhasovitz, a manager with extensive experience in the field of rehabilitation, who leads a skilled team of 17 physiotherapists and three administrative workers. "Our goal is to provide professional treatment at the highest level, while personalizing the needs of each patient," Panhasovitz explains. "We believe that every person is entitled to receive the best treatment."
The institute offers a wide range of treatments, from orthopedic treatments for pain such as: back and neck pain, through advanced neurological treatments, to treatment of the vestibular system (dizziness) and respiratory rehabilitation. "One of our outstanding advantages is the ability to offer diverse therapeutic solutions under one roof," adds Boaz Nagar, deputy director of the institute and center for student guidance and the vestibular field.
The treatment process at the institute begins with a comprehensive assessment of the patient's needs. "In the first meeting, we perform an in-depth diagnosis, set goals and build a personalized treatment plan," Anat explains. "The plan may include manual therapy, guided practice, use of advanced technologies and work in small groups."
Technological innovation is one of the hallmarks of the institute
The facility is equipped with advanced medical equipment, including a state-of-the-art "Blazefur" system, advanced electro-therapy equipment and a rehabilitation gym. "The combination of advanced technology with personal care allows us to achieve optimal results," explains Gali Batsha Kegel, head of the field of neurology and rehabilitation.
Since the events of October 7, 2023, the institute has significantly expanded its activities and adapted its services to the changing reality. "We provide a special response to reservists, evacuees staying in hotels in the area, and the wounded of the IDF," notes Panhasovitz. "Our team, made up of professionals from all sectors, works in full cooperation and in an atmosphere of mutual respect."
In the box: satisfaction surveys conducted among the patients indicate a particularly high level of satisfaction, both from the professional treatment and from the personal treatment. "The positive feedback we receive from the patients testifies to our success in combining humanity, professionalism and innovation," concludes Panhasovitz.
The institute is located in the Haifa Grand Mall, with easy access to public transportation and available parking. The extensive hours of operation and the skilled staff enable a quick and efficient response to the patients' needs. To make an appointment and initial consultation, you can contact the appointment call center of Klalit or directly to the institute's office.
All well and good, except that it is impossible to get an appointment in a reasonable time. And when you finally get to treatment, you are treated like a product on a moving film, and you are given a minimal amount of time.
