Department of physical therapy and rehabilitation

   About the Department

   The Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation uses specially selected physical exercises to restore functional capabilities of the body, reduce disability, improve quality of life, and return patients to active social, professional, and sports activities.

   The department follows a patient-centered approach, promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, and applies modern methods of medical rehabilitation.

   Physical therapy specialists strive to ensure that each patient achieves the highest possible level of functional recovery within optimal timeframes through early initiation of rehabilitation, individually tailored physical therapy programs, and active patient involvement in the recovery process.

   Therapeutic sessions are conducted both in the physical therapy gym and bedside in inpatient wards.

   The department provides restorative treatment following neurological, neurosurgical, traumatic, cardiovascular, and other medical conditions.

   Each patient is managed individually by an attending physician and a physical therapy instructor, which enhances well-being and encourages adherence to therapeutic physical approaches.
