Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment in Olympion Rehab
About the clinic
Olympion Rehab provides specialized neurological recovery for traumatic brain injury across five centers in Greece, including locations in Chania and Patras. The clinic holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 15224:2017 accreditations from TUV Austria Hellas. A physiatrist leads a multidisciplinary team to create a personalized recovery plan for every patient.
Diagnostics and evaluation
Recovery starts with a full assessment of physical and cognitive functions. These tests help the medical team track progress and adjust therapy protocols.
- Physiatrist evaluation. A specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation reviews the patient's medical history and current status.
- EMG and nerve conduction studies. These tests check the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them.
- Motion and gait analysis. Specialists use this to study how a patient walks and identify movement issues.
- Biodex isokinetic testing. This system measures muscle strength and endurance during specific movements.
- LOTCA cognitive assessment. This tool evaluates basic cognitive skills needed for daily activities.
Neurological rehabilitation methods
The clinic uses a combination of manual therapy and robotic tools to help patients regain mobility and independence. The program includes both inpatient and outpatient options depending on the severity of the injury.
- Robotic rehabilitation. The clinic uses the Armeo Spring system for upper limb training. This robot provides anti-gravity support to help patients move their arms more easily.
- Physiotherapy. Therapists apply Bobath therapy for central nervous system disorders. This focuses on muscle strengthening and retraining the brain to control movement.
- Hydrotherapy. Patients perform exercises in specialized pools kept at 31–34°C. The water's buoyancy supports the body weight and makes movement less painful.
- Ergotherapy. This therapy helps patients relearn self-care skills. It focuses on tasks like dressing, eating, and personal hygiene.
- Speech and psychological therapy. Specialists work on communication and swallowing difficulties. Psychological support helps patients and families manage the emotional impact of the injury.
Clinic features and patient care
Olympion Rehab operates specialized inpatient units for cranial-brain injury recovery. The facility uses the Extentrac Elite M3D robot for spinal decompression and BTE isokinetic testing for muscle performance analysis. For international patients, the clinic provides ambulance transfers with escort doctors and wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Support services include interpreters to help with communication during the stay. You can request a consultation for a personalized recovery plan through Bookimed.

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.
