/ The result

Will I be able to live
a full life after surgery

Full range of motion

or the maximum possible in your case.

Stability without fear

not keeping “what if it happens again” in your head.

Strength in daily life

stairs, bags, a child in your arms.

Return to activity

sport, if you did it. Life — definitely.

/ Our profile

Which surgeries
we work with

Most often these are:

  • spine — cervical, thoracic, lumbar
  • knee joint — meniscus, ligaments, ACL
  • shoulder joint — ligaments, labrum, tendons, biceps
  • hip joint, including joint replacement
  • ankle and Achilles tendon
  • elbow joint and hand

If your surgery is not on the list, we will still assess your condition and tell you honestly whether we can help. There is one main condition: your doctor clearance to move.

/ Who it is for

This is for you if…

  • you were discharged with a recommendation to “work it out”, but nobody explained how
  • you are afraid to load the operated area
  • the limb has lost muscle and looks weaker than the other one
  • a few weeks have passed and movement is not coming back
  • you want to return to sport but do not know when you can
  • rehabilitation was prescribed, but nobody told you where to do it

People who come to us are not athletes — they are people who want to move, sleep and sit normally without pain.

Probably not, if you:

are looking for a quick fix without any effort on your side · want “just a massage” or “to have it put back in place” · are not ready to work with your body systematically

/ Timing

When to start
rehabilitation

We start after clearance to move. That is the main limit and the main answer.

It matters not to lose the first weeks.

Early rehabilitation reduces the risk of contractures, helps keep muscle tone, supports movement control and shortens the time it takes to get back to activity.

We work as a team with a doctor

The doctor is responsible for the medical part. We are responsible for function and movement control.

/ First visit

What happens at the first visit

It will not hurt. This is not about enduring, it is about understanding your movement — 90 minutes at a comfortable pace, and you leave with a plan.

01 · 30 min · movement assessment

We check joint mobility and muscle strength, palpate the area you complain about, take your history and run functional tests.

02 · 60 min · trial session

We try the first exercises and watch how your body responds — without sharp pain.

→ result · a plan to take with you

What exactly is holding the pain, which movement patterns are off, and a clear route forward. No pushing.

A free physical therapy procedure at the first visit — at no extra cost.

/ Proof

What you take
at the first visit

Not an opinion “in words”, but a written report: complaints, examination data in numbers, a conclusion and recommendations. Here are three real ones — different cases.

Physical therapist’s report after an injury
Injury at the gym

Real reports. Personal data hidden.

/ Recovery route

How we work:
from pain to strength

How long does it take? Honestly — it depends on your condition. We name the exact number of sessions only after the movement assessment, with no promises upfront.

Stage 01 of 04

Removing acute pain

Getting back the ability to sleep, sit and walk normally.

  • Gentle manual techniques, taping, physical therapy if needed.
  • Exercises that take the load off the painful area.
  • Positioning: how to lie down, get up and bend properly.

Stage 02 of 04

Restoring mobility

When the pain has eased but the body still feels stiff.

  • We bring range of motion back to the joints.
  • We work with breathing and the rib cage.
  • We teach movement control (motor control).

Stage 03 of 04

Base strength

Building a muscular corset.

  • Exercises to strengthen the core, glutes and back.
  • Correct patterns: how to lift, squat and pull safely.
  • Work on machines and with free weights under close supervision.

Stage 04 of 04

Return to sport and life

Where we take everyone — not only athletes.

  • Specific training for the loads you deal with in real life.
  • A program of your own exercises to keep the result.
  • A reserve that works for the next few decades.

/ how long it takes

HOW MANY SESSIONS
AND WHAT IT COSTS

The honest answer is: it depends. But here is what it looks like for our clients — three typical scenarios instead of one number.

A single visit

Roughly one in three comes once: we find the cause, you get a plan and do the rest yourself. That is UAH 2,000 — and nothing more.

5–10 sessions, four to six weeks

The most common path: twice a week, sessions plus physical therapy procedures. The whole course usually comes to UAH 8,000–18,000.

Two to three months

After surgery and with long-standing problems: the same two visits a week, but 15–25 sessions. That is UAH 20,000–35,000 spread over a quarter.

This is a benchmark, not a rule. What affects the timeline most is how long you have been living with the problem. The movement assessment shows what your case needs — after it you can budget instead of guessing.

/ Physical therapy

What can help
you get there faster

When pain is sharp or there is swelling, the body blocks movement — and any exercise becomes either impossible or unsafe. Physical therapy removes that barrier so you can start moving.

This is not a separate course of procedures. Everything works inside the plan — and at the first visit it is included in the price.

Ten tools. Which of them you actually need is decided by the physical therapist after the movement assessment.

/ Red flags

When to see a doctor
right away

Do not wait for a scheduled consultation if you have:

01sudden redness, swelling or discharge from the wound
02fever with no other explanation
03sharp, increasing pain
04numbness or loss of sensation below the surgical site
05pain and swelling in the calf — a possible sign of thrombosis

What people say about us

4,9★★★★★205 reviews on GoogleRead all →

“The rehab specialists approach is as hands-on with you as it gets, and I have tried plenty, so this is the real thing if you want people to work with you specifically and give quality sessions.… I recommend trying it to anyone who needs proper recovery after surgery or injuries.”

Dyurii Lociyovichafter surgery

“In 4 months they restored my gait and the muscles in my leg that had started to waste away, and prevented a pelvic tilt.… The day after surgery I was already in rehab on the magnet.”

Оксана Донafter surgery

“I came to the center after arthroscopy on a friend recommendation — she had gone through rehabilitation there too. Six months after surgery I could not run, jump or take stairs normally, even though I followed the surgeon recommendations.”

Інна Сломчинськаafter arthroscopy

“My husband went through rehabilitation after knee surgery. Professional rehab, modern equipment and service at a high level.”

/ Questions and answers

Frequent questions
after surgery

Will the full range of motion come back?+
Range of motion depends directly on how systematic the work is. We measure flexion and extension and track progress over time — so you see the change in numbers, not by feel.
My limb has lost a lot of muscle. Will it become normal again?+
Muscle loss after surgery is a normal response to restricted movement. Gradual loading brings back volume and strength without the risk of overload.
When will the swelling go down?+
Swelling is part of the postoperative process. How long it lasts depends on the type of surgery and your individual response. Physical therapy helps reduce it faster, but without forcing it.
What is normal during rehabilitation?+
In the first weeks you may have: more pain after sessions, a temporary increase in swelling, a feeling of fatigue, a slight rise in temperature. Pain up to 6/10 is acceptable during recovery. Avoiding movement out of fear of pain, on the other hand, slows recovery down.
How will I see progress?+
We record flexion and extension angles, muscle strength, stability while walking, confidence on stairs and how the swelling changes. The first 2–3 weeks usually give the most noticeable jump. After that progress becomes gradual — that is normal dynamics, not a stop.
Can I train if it still hurts?+
In most cases yes — it is a question of dosage. That is exactly why the first visit starts with an assessment: we determine which movement is safe right now and which is not yet.
How many sessions will I need and what will it cost?+

About a third of people are done after a single visit — UAH 2,000 for the movement assessment and a plan they follow on their own. The most common path is 5–10 sessions twice a week over four to six weeks, UAH 8,000–18,000 for the course. After surgery or with long-standing problems, two to three months and 15–25 sessions, UAH 20,000–35,000. The assessment gives the exact answer.
