Stroke in Thailand: The Crisis Begins After Hospital Discharge

Data from Thailand’s Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, in 2025 reported that Thailand had more than 363,000 accumulated stroke patients and that stroke was the second-leading cause of premature death after cancer. The World Stroke Organization (WSO) states that 1 in 4 adults will experience stroke at least once in their lifetime.

The challenge is not only survival, but the first 3–6 months (Golden Period) after stroke, when the brain has its greatest recovery potential. If patients can access astroke rehabilitation programmethat is correct and continuous during this period, their chances of walking, speaking, and regaining independence increase significantly.

Many patients leave hospital while still experiencing muscle weakness, impaired balance, unstable walking, and fear of falling. Neurorehabilitation technologyand an appropriatestroke clinicare therefore central to care in an ageing society.

Two Hydrotherapy Formats — An Investment in the Best Possible Care

KIN believes that every stroke patient and older adult deserves the best possible rehabilitation. This is why we invested intwo complete hydrotherapy formats —a warm-water hydrotherapy pool and an Aquatic Treadmill—within a single network. Today, KIN is thefirst and only network in Thailandto offer both. Water buoyancy reduces joint impact by 60–80% helping patients practise walking sooner and with greater confidence.

Having both formats in one network allows thespecialist medical teamto create a continuous rehabilitation plan and flexibly select the hydrotherapy format that suits each patient’s stage of recovery and limitations. Patients who begin with pool-based hydrotherapy in the early stage can later transition to the Aquatic Treadmill for more precise gait training within the same system.

Thailand’s Most Comprehensive Neurorehabilitation Technology Suite

In addition to hydrotherapy, KIN also providesTMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)andHBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) which work together as one of the most comprehensive neurorehabilitation systems in Thailand, planned by aspecialist medical team across 5 disciplinestogether with licensed physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and a multidisciplinary team.

HBOT delivers oxygen to brain tissue under high pressure to support repair of damaged nerve cells, while TMS directly stimulates neural circuits involved in movement and speech. Both technologies are used together withhydrotherapyandphysical therapyfor the best possible outcomes.

Comprehensive Care Across 6 Branches — Continuous from Rehabilitation to Home

By connecting rehabilitation centres, physical therapy hospitals within the network, long-term senior care, Day Care, andHomeCare, families can plan long-term care within one system and reduce coordination complexity.

For patients who need continued care,post-operative careandlong-term careare available at every branch under a system supervised by registered nurses 24 hours a day, with prices starting from THB 25,000/month For enquiries, contact 02-096-4996

Frequently Asked Questions — Answered by the KIN Multidisciplinary Team

What hydrotherapy formats does KIN provide, and how are they different?

KIN provides two complete hydrotherapy formats: (1) a warm-water hydrotherapy pool at KIN Physical Therapy Hospital, Bearing, suitable for full-body movement training in water, muscle relaxation, and spasticity reduction; and (2) an Aquatic Treadmill at the Ladprao 71 Branch, suitable for gait training with adjustable speed and water level based on each patient’s ability.

Which patients are suitable for water-based rehabilitation?

Water-based rehabilitation is suitable for stroke patients with muscle weakness or fear of falling, patients after knee or hip surgery, older adults with joint problems, and patients relearning to walk. Water buoyancy reduces joint loading, allowing rehabilitation to begin earlier and more safely than on land.

How many branches does KIN have, and which areas are covered?

KIN provides services at 6 branches: Ladprao 71; KIN Physical Therapy Hospital, Bearing (Sukhumvit 107); Ratchaphruek; Pattaya; Ramkhamhaeng 24; and Salaya. The network covers Bangkok, the Eastern region (Pattaya), and the western Bangkok metropolitan area (Salaya), with nationwide HomeCare. Call 061-881-9399.

What are the starting prices for care and rehabilitation programmes?

Senior care and stroke rehabilitation programmes start from THB 25,000/month For those who would like to try the service first, there is aTHB 9,999 trial programme For details, contact 02-096-4996 daily.

Is an appointment required, and where can I receive an initial consultation?

Advance booking is recommended so the medical team can prepare the information and allocate an appropriate assessment time. Free assessments can be booked through LINE for every branch or by calling 091-803-3071 (Ladprao), 081-632-8188 (Ramkhamhaeng), 093-884-1888 (Salaya) · 065-909-2599 (Bearing) · 082-213-9976 (Pattaya) · 065-384-5494 (Ratchaphruek).
