Self-funded health services

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a very important rehabilitation medicine, but it is also increasingly emerging as a preventive measure. Our program offers services for both rehabilitation and prevention. The essence of our programs is an individual approach to each pacient, on the basis of which we design an appropriate physiotherapy program.

We recommend that the therapy at the Rimske terme resort lasts from 14 to 21 days with a one-day break every six days of therapy (balneopause), and you can feel the beneficial and healing effects after a few days of therapy.
