Who We Are
Centro Puzzle is a socio-health rehabilitation centre based in Torino, located in Via Cimabue 2. Founded in 1998 and fully operational since 2001, it is one of the first facilities in Italy dedicated entirely to people with traumatic brain injury or severe acquired brain lesions. The centre operates under public agreement and accreditation with the local Health Authorities and the Municipality of Torino, ensuring that every person can continue the clinical pathway begun in hospital through a structured post-acute and long-term rehabilitation programme.
The mission of Centro Puzzle is to restore dignity, autonomy and quality of life to individuals living with acquired brain injury. The centre offers a protected and highly professional environment where patients and their families are accompanied step by step through a personalised and comprehensive recovery process. Each pathway is designed to meet the specific needs of the person, respecting their rhythms, strengths and challenges.
This work is carried out by a multidisciplinary team that includes neuropsychologists, physiotherapists, speech therapists and educators. Through an integrated and coordinated approach, the team addresses clinical, cognitive, psychological and relational aspects, recognising them as essential elements for meaningful rehabilitation and overall wellbeing.
What We Do
Centro Puzzle provides highly personalised therapeutic and rehabilitative programmes for people with traumatic brain injury or acquired brain lesions. Each intervention aims to recover neuropsychological, motor, speech-language and psychosocial functions, helping individuals regain balance and supporting their return to everyday life. The organisation includes two Day Centres, “Puzzle 1” (active since 2001) and “Puzzle 2” (since 2011), open Monday to Friday with part-time or full-time attendance depending on each patient’s needs.
For those moving towards greater autonomy, the centre offers residential training apartments. These one- or two-room units include a kitchen, living area and accessible bathroom, providing a protected space where patients can practise daily activities and strengthen independence skills.
Puzzle also hosts specialised rehabilitation areas: fully equipped physiotherapy and motor rehabilitation gyms, a hydrotherapy pool for water-based therapeutic work, and a robotic gait training system, the “REHO” exoskeleton, used to support lower-limb recovery and stimulate neuroplasticity in individuals with neurological conditions.
Finally, the centre offers “MiniPuzzle”, a multidisciplinary socio-rehabilitative programme dedicated to children and adolescents aged three to sixteen with acquired brain injuries. The project integrates neuropsychology, speech therapy, neuropsychomotor therapy and psychotherapy to promote motor, cognitive and socio-relational development, while providing continuous guidance and support to families.
