After a spinal cord injury in an accident in December 2013, I began to recover a bit. Unfortunately, the Swedish healthcare system was not able to provide me with adequate rehabilitation, so I turned to the thalassotherapy center in Opatija, where I spent more than 13 months.
The clinic is directly connected to the University Hospital in Rijeka, so they can get almost all the specialists needed for each case in a short time or even in a very short time. Of course, the clinic also has very competent doctors.
During the rehabilitation, I had a physiotherapist, a doctor and a nurse at my disposal at all times, which made me feel completely safe.
During my stay, the Thalassotherapy Opatija staff were very positive.
The therapists are very professional, with a wealth of experience, and they do this by gently «pushing through» certain difficult exercises that you can’t refuse. I personally felt that they know what they are doing. Some of the problems that I had were partially resolved, and some disappeared.
Great physios, swimming pool and friendly staff.
Very clean. Polite and friendly staff. I will only note that not all saunas work (both times I was on the weekend), although they charged me the full cost.
A place where everything is in one place ;)) and absolutely everyone is kind! I would especially like to mention the trainer Milica in the fitness center and the nutritionist Ned, who helped me a lot in the weight loss program and thanks to them! For half a year I weigh 34 kg less :))))
