How does KIN's interdisciplinary team work?
All professions review each case together in team meetings and plan individual rehabilitation from a single shared plan, instead of each one assessing separately and passing the patient along step by step. This is the difference families can really feel, because when the patient's condition changes, every profession knows at the same time and adjusts the plan in the same direction.
The clearest example is a client with swallowing difficulty. The speech-language pathologist assesses the swallowing level, the occupational therapist trains swallowing together with a stimulation device, the nutritionist adjusts the food texture to match the level the patient can manage, and the registered nurse watches for choking 24 hours a day, while the physician decides when the feeding tube should be removed — all of this sits within one plan. If each part were done separately, the risk of choking and pneumonia would rise immediately.
8 professions and their roles in the rehabilitation team
| Profession | Role in the rehabilitation team |
|---|---|
| Team physicians | Assess, diagnose and plan rehabilitation for stroke, covering rehabilitation medicine, neurology, vascular interventional radiology, geriatric medicine and anti-aging medicine, and prescribe rehabilitation technology |
| Registered nurses (RN) | Monitor patients 24 hours a day, give medication according to the physician's plan, care for wounds and tubes, and alert the team immediately when the condition changes |
| Physical therapists (PT) | Train standing, walking, balance and muscle strength, and operate the underwater treadmill, hydrotherapy pool and targeted rehabilitation equipment |
| Occupational therapists (OT) | Train daily living activities, hand and arm use, and perception and memory, and also help with swallowing training for people with swallowing difficulty |
| Speech-language pathologists | Train communication in aphasia and dysarthria, and assess and train swallowing in dysphagia |
| Sports scientists | Design personalized exercise programs to build endurance and muscle strength, working alongside the physical therapists |
| Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners | Provide acupuncture to support rehabilitation in cases the team assesses as suitable, used together with physical therapy, not as a replacement — see the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic |
| Physical therapy assistants and nursing assistants (NA) | Help with training according to the physical therapist's plan, and assist with daily routines such as bathing, feeding and checking vital signs, under the supervision of registered nurses, both at our centers and through our home care service |
KIN also has nutritionists and a mental health care team who join the plan of clients who need them — who cares for each case depends on the branch where the client receives services and the plan assessed by the team
Physician team — 6 physicians (resident and visiting)
All of our physicians hold medical licenses from the Medical Council of Thailand, covering rehabilitation medicine, neurology, vascular interventional radiology, geriatric medicine and anti-aging medicine. 2 of them have specialty qualifications clearly listed as certified by the Medical Council of Thailand — tap a card to see each physician's qualifications

Insights from our team's vascular physician
The vascular specialty is the part that answers why a stroke happened and how to prevent it from happening again. It is led by Capt. Dr. Talerngkiat Jamulitrat, License No. 28431, interventional radiologist at the Sukhumvit 107 branch

Registered Nurse (RN)
Registered nurses are licensed by the Thailand Nursing and Midwifery Council and are the profession that stays with clients around the clock, so they are the first to notice when a condition changes. Their duties include giving medication according to the physician's plan, caring for wounds and pressure sores, managing feeding tubes and catheters, checking vital signs, and alerting the team right away when something is wrong.
For clients who stay overnight, round-the-clock supervision by the physician team and registered nurses is what allows rehabilitation to move forward safely. Common complications after stroke, such as choking, pressure sores and urinary tract infections, can all be prevented with continuous monitoring — see care for bedridden patients and nursing care at home

Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)
They handle 2 areas that people often do not realize belong together: communication and swallowing. Communication covers aphasia, a condition where a person cannot find words or cannot understand what they hear, and dysarthria, unclear speech caused by weakness in the muscles used for speaking. Swallowing covers dysphagia.
Swallowing difficulty needs prompt attention, because choking can lead to pneumonia, one of the most dangerous complications after stroke. The speech-language pathologist therefore assesses swallowing ability and works with the occupational therapist, the dietitian and the registered nurse so that training and food texture are adjusted together — see VitalStim swallowing muscle stimulation

Physical Therapists and Sports Scientists
Physical therapists are licensed by the Physical Therapy Council and are the profession that spends the most time with clients each day. Their main work is training standing, walking and balance, and building muscle strength. They also operate the rehabilitation equipment hands-on, including the underwater treadmill at the Ladprao 71 branch, the warm-water hydrotherapy pool at the Bearing branch, and targeted pain and inflammation relief devices.
Sports scientists work alongside them, designing individual exercise programs that focus on endurance and overall strength. This is the foundation that lets clients train longer in each physical therapy session — see the physical therapy clinic and physical therapy at home

Traditional Chinese Medicine — Acupuncture to Support Rehabilitation
The traditional Chinese medicine practitioner at KIN Rehabilitation holds a professional license in traditional Chinese medicine and uses acupuncture to support rehabilitation, not to replace physical therapy. It is often used for clients with weakness, numbness, pain or muscle stiffness, and is scheduled to follow on from physical therapy sessions on the same day.
Acupuncture for each case must be assessed by the team first, because people taking blood thinners or who bleed easily need specific precautions — see details at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic

Physical Therapy Assistants and Nursing Assistants (NA)
These two roles are the team closest to clients each day, and they always work under the supervision of licensed professionals. Physical therapy assistants help with repeated practice according to the plan set by the physical therapist, while nursing assistants handle daily routines under the supervision of a registered nurse.
KIN's nursing assistants have completed a course certified by the Department of Health Service Support. Their duties include bathing, dressing, feeding, turning clients to prevent pressure sores, checking vital signs and joining recreational activities, both at our centers and in our home care service — this work is what makes each day's physical therapy possible, because if basic daily needs are not looked after, clients will not have enough energy to train.

How to start care with the KIN medical and interdisciplinary team
From your first contact to the start of the program usually takes 1–3 days, and the initial assessment is free of charge. Families can send CT/MRI results and hospital records via LINE for the team to review first, without needing to travel to the center yet.
How is an interdisciplinary team in one place different from separate department appointments?
The key difference is not the number of professions, but that every profession works from the same plan and can adjust it together. This table compares general approaches to help with your decision; it does not refer to data from any specific provider.
| Criteria | KIN Rehabilitation | Separate clinic appointments by department | Caring at home on your own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joint planning | All professions review the case together from one plan and adjust together when the condition changes | Each department assesses separately; the family passes information between them | No shared plan |
| Professions available | 6 physicians and 8 allied health professions in one team | Varies by provider; some professions must be found separately | Whatever can be hired on a per-visit basis |
| Continuity of training | Daily training possible for residential clients; equipment and training are in the same schedule | By appointment, a few times a week | Depends on the caregiver's time and capacity |
| Monitoring of condition | Supervision by the medical and registered nursing team 24 hours a day for residential clients | Limited to the time of each visit | The family carries the full burden |
| Managing swallowing difficulties | Speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, nutritionists and nurses work within the same plan | Varies by provider | Higher risk of choking and pneumonia |
| Care after going home | Referral to KIN HomeCare, continuing the same rehabilitation plan | Usually ends when the course is finished | No shared plan |
