Mode of operation

Physiotherapy and rehabilitation at the Adria Center is exclusively individual in nature
Upon arrival at the Center, all patients undergo a detailed examination before agreeing on the therapy itself.
Our patients have at their disposal the most modern physiotherapy equipment, special techniques, an individually tailored program of exercises as well as various massages. Most often, we combine several techniques and/or devices.
