At the Olympion Rehabilitation and Recovery Center of Heraklion, Physiotherapy is important for the patients. The physiotherapist, based on the physiology, kinesiology and biomechanics of the human body, is able to evaluate, improve, maintain or cure people suffering from diseases of the nervous, muscular, skeletal and cardiorespiratory systems.

In the context of Physiotherapy, with the help of various techniques and devices, the patient with permanent or transient disability, is guided to achieve maximum functional independence.

The medical history, the clinical condition of the patient as well as the evaluation of the treatment team are the factors that contribute to the design of the individualized rehabilitation program.
