Pre-operative Orthopedic Rehab
The center offers both pre and post operative rehabilitative pathways.
Pre-operative physiotherapy is recommended before:
- hip, knee and shoulder arthroplasty
- arthroscopy of the hip, knee and shoulder joints
- plastics and reconstruction of ligaments and tendons
- spine surgeries
Post-Operative Orthopedic Rehab
After surgery, postoperative rehabilitation is a necessary stage of treatment. Rehabilitation is tailored to each patient individually, taking into account factors such as the postoperative phase, age, general condition, additional diseases, and professional or sports activity. This approach aligns with global standards.
In particular, post-operative rehab is performed for the following conditions:
- Shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and spine diseases.
- Rotator cuff injuries.
- Instability of the shoulder joint.
- After endoprosthetics of the hip and knee joints.

It aims to achieve the following goals:
- Reducing the symptoms of inflammation (pain, swelling, exudate).
- Regaining range of motion in the joint.
- Normalization of soft tissue tension (muscles, fascia, ligaments).
- Enhancing the elasticity of the postoperative scar.
- Alleviating muscle wasting.
- Regaining muscle strength and endurance.
