Rehabilitation After Spinal Cord Injury Treatment in Olympion Rehab
About the clinic
Rehabilitation after spinal cord injury is available at Olympion Rehab across five centers in Greece, including Chania, Patras, and Ioannina. The facility holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 15224:2017 accreditations, focusing on recovery for patients with paraplegia or quadriplegia. Programs are designed by a physiatrist to help patients regain mobility and independence through a combination of robotic therapy and specialized physical exercises.
Advanced rehabilitation methods
The clinic uses a mix of traditional therapy and modern technology to help patients recover lost functions. A physiatrist creates a custom plan for every individual based on their specific needs and goals. The treatment includes several core disciplines:
- Robotic rehabilitation (Armeo Spring). This system uses anti-gravity technology to help retrain the shoulder and elbow. It tracks free movements to aid upper limb recovery.
- Hydrotherapy. Patients perform exercises in heated pools kept between 31°C and 34°C. The water's buoyancy allows for movements that are impossible to perform on land.
- Physiotherapy. Specialists use Bobath therapy, gait retraining, and muscle strengthening. These sessions happen on dedicated Bobath beds or using isokinetic systems like Biodex and BTE.
- Ergotherapy (occupational therapy). This therapy helps patients re-learn daily living skills. It uses Biometrics computer systems for cognitive re-education and self-care training.
- Speech therapy and psychological support. These services address communication challenges and emotional well-being throughout the recovery process.
Clinic features and patient support
Olympion Rehab operates a network of centers equipped with whirlpool baths and personal hydromassage units. The facility manages the entire travel process for patients with limited mobility. The clinic provides wheelchair-accessible vehicles and fully equipped ambulances. Doctors escort patients during these transfers to help maintain safety. The inpatient programs allow for continuous care while the outpatient options serve those who do not require a stay. The clinic's quality is verified by TUV Austria Hellas and EQA certifications.

Olympion Rehab: more details about the clinic
Olympion Rehab is a network of private rehabilitation centers in Greece. Founded in 2019, it provides both inpatient and outpatient care. The network operates facilities in Chania, Patras, Thessalia, Ioannina, and Heraklion. Each center is designed to treat mobility and cognitive deficits.
Accreditations and Quality Standards
The centers hold ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 15224:2017 certifications for quality management. They are also certified by TUV Austria Hellas and EQA. Continuous equipment checks ensure all treatment tools meet current safety regulations.
Rehabilitation Specialties and Facilities
The network treats complex conditions such as spinal cord injuries and cerebral palsy. Specialists manage severe mobility issues including paraplegia, quadriplegia, and hemiparesis. Programs also address swallowing, communication, and respiratory difficulties. A Physiatrist evaluates every patient to design an individualized plan.
The network operates large-scale inpatient units across Greece:
- Patras: 135 beds
- Thessalia: 80 beds
- Chania: 80 beds
- Heraklion: 79 beds
Heraklion opened in 2021 on a 10,000 square meter property to serve Crete.
Physical and Neurological Therapy
Physiotherapy departments focus on muscle strengthening, gait retraining, and pain reduction. Therapists use Bobath therapy for patients with central nervous system disorders. This method uses specialized Bobath beds and walking retraining equipment. Gym-based training helps improve balance and limb function.
Robotic and Occupational Rehabilitation
The robotic rehabilitation department uses the Armeo Spring system for upper limb recovery. This anti-gravity technology tracks free movement across the shoulder and elbow joints. Ergotherapy helps patients regain self-care skills for daily life. Facilities include a dedicated training area and Biometrics computer systems for cognitive re-education.
Hydrotherapy and Specialized Care
Hydrotherapy takes place in pools kept between 31°C and 34°C. Water-based treatments use buoyancy and pressure to enable movements impossible on land. The pools feature whirlpool baths and personal hydromassage units. Dedicated departments for psychological support and speech therapy complete the care team.
Diagnostic Technology and Evaluation Labs
The centers run specialized labs to assess patient progress and physical condition. Specialists perform EMG and nerve conduction studies to diagnose nerve and muscle issues. These labs also use motion analysis tools, including a plantar scanner for foot pressure assessment.
The diagnostic units use several brand-name systems:
- Extentrac Elite M3D for robotic spinal decompression
- Biodex and BTE isokinetic systems for muscle strength testing
- Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA)
These tools allow doctors to monitor functional improvements with high precision.
Services for Patients
Patient rooms are designed for long-term comfort and independence. Wards feature electric remote-controlled beds and specially equipped bathrooms. Each room includes air-conditioning, a personal telephone, and a TV. Patients can access the internet via Wi-Fi and provided personal computers.
The network coordinates transportation between facilities or other locations. This includes a special vehicle for wheelchair transfers. Fully equipped ambulances are available for urgent movement. These are staffed by escort doctors and trained medical personnel for safety during transit.
