Underwater Treadmill

Walking endurance is increased in a joint-friendly way by adjusting body weight and speed.

Nutrition & PMR Collaboration

The program is planned with the joint approach of physical medicine and rehabilitation and nutrition specialists.

Gradual & Safe Progression

Intensity is increased gradually according to fitness, minimizing injury risk.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.
