Sport physiotherapy

Terme Zreče Health Resort offers a comprehensive and quality treatment of injuries for different types of athletes.  Based on appropriate medical documentation (e.g.: operator’s diagnosis) together with Doctors, (Physiatrists and Orthopaedists) a suitable rehabilitation programme is prepared pursuing the basic goal - for the athlete to return to group or individual sport as soon as possible.  

Here, the wishes and needs of an athlete are considered and thus a completely individual programme is adjusted for him.  A top-notch group of Doctors and Physiotherapists with several years of experience in this field take care for a quality performance of the athlete’s rehabilitation.

Apart from classical therapies we also offer the following for athletes:

• Individual muscular training on the EN-KNEE device (in injuries of cruciate ligaments of the knee)
• Individual Kinesio or Cyrax treatment
• Adjusted to training in fitness
• Individual PROPRIOCEPTIVE exercise
• Bandaging
  Bandaging offers a support for joints and partly limits them in mobility in order to reduce the pain
• Therapeutic stretching
• Sport massage
• Kinesiotaping
  Bands which have similar characteristics as skin are applied to a certain joint/muscle according to a certain procedure and prescribed rules. The bands contribute to the improvement of blood circulation, reduction of pain, improvement of mobility and reduction of swellings. The band also contributes to a better stability of the joint.
• Prevention and consulting
• Testing on EN-KNEE device
  Athletes return to muscle testing in the 3rd and 6th month after the surgery. After testing a test of muscular endurance is performed showing the endurance of muscles and the appropriateness for more difficult exercises/burdening. At this time the athlete obtains information on exercises which should be added or continued. The real muscle strength is ascertained in the test of muscular strength. According to the testing results a recommendation regarding the continuation/end of sport career is issued. All tests are performed in comparison with a healthy leg.
• Testing with arthrometer KT-2000
  In testing, the stability of the knee joint or the firmness/lax of the front cruciate ligament is ascertained by means of comparison with a healthy leg. The test is crucial for the operator and for the tested person giving information on the success of rehabilitation/surgery.
