Michael Schumacher is being treated by a team composed of 15 medical experts at a clinic specially-built inside his Swiss mansion. The F1 legend was taken to his home in Switzerland last week, 254 days after the former racer suffered a severe head injury from a skiing accident.

Schumacher's rehabilitation team in his specially-built clinic involves doctors, nurses, medical aids, and various therapists.

The Lausanne rehabilitation clinic, where Schumacher was treated prior to his return home, confirmed that it trained several members of Schumacher's rehabilitation team.

"A large part of the team that cares for Michael now was trained by our specialists. We are following his treatment and are still a point of contact and entirely at his disposal," a representative from the clinic said.

Last week, Sabine Kehm, Schumacher's manager, announced that the medical condition of the retired race car driver has progressed over the past weeks, but his rehabilitation is expected to be long and arduous.

Reports say that Schumacher can move his eyes periodically, but remains unable to talk and move his body, since he is still in the minimal consciousness phase that began when he awoke from his coma.

The 45-year-old retired racer was placed in a medically-induced coma for 159 days after his head hit a series of stones while skiing at the French Alpine resort of Meribel on December 29 last year.

Experts believe that rehabilitating Schumacher in his own home may help in the recovery of the seven-time Formula One world champion.

"I do not know the condition of Michael Schumacher, but if it is stable, then the familiar surroundings of his home can certainly help for now. Such emotional stimulation is very important for patients who have suffered a severe brain trauma," Professor Manfred Spitzer, a medical director at a German hospital, told a local newspaper.

Meanwhile, Schumacher's family requested for the general public to respect their privacy and stop speculating about the current health condition of the champion racer.
