Head Injury Treatment & Neurological Rehabilitation
Why rehabilitation is important
To achieve the best results, rehabilitation after a traumatic brain injury should start immediately after the patient's condition is stabilized. Properly organized and timely rehabilitation determines the speed and extent of recovery of lost functions, preventing complications and long-term consequences of the injury.
The strategy and tactics of restorative treatment based on Professor Blum's method are rooted in an imperative mode — external physical impact. This significantly increases the speed and effectiveness of the body's natural healing, renewal, and self-integration mechanisms.
Types of injuries we treat
The main conditions resulting from traumatic brain injury that are treated at the Centre can be divided into six groups:
- Skull bone fractures
- Brain concussions and bruises
- Brain hemorrhages and subdural hematomas
- Post-brain surgery conditions
- Cranial nerve damage
- Consequences of birth injury
Proprietary methodology
The Centre uses proprietary therapeutic and rehabilitation technologies based on stimulating muscle-fascial-tissue pumps, optimising the circulation of blood, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, and synovial fluid. By inducing a response from the injured tissues and adjacent organs to external cyclic wave impact, the methodology allows our patients to achieve the maximum possible results, fundamentally restoring lost functions.
For each patient, and at each stage of rehabilitation and treatment period, custom exercise equipment and devices are assembled. A personal instructor works with the patient, applying an eccentric mode of physical impact on the body according to the individual program. The rehabilitation program is developed considering the complexity, severity, age, scope, depth of the injury, performed surgeries, the patient's age, and overall life resource level.
The goal of restorative treatment is the maximum restoration of functions and skills as a result of coordinated functions of the entire body. This is possible only by following the sequence of rehabilitation stages:
First, the injury zone is restored, eliminating the consequences of compression, crushing, ruptures, crush syndrome, hemorrhages, secondary scars, and adhesions.
Second, lost functions are restored, eliminating paralysis, paresis, hyperkineses, contractures, bone and joint deformities, and atrophies.
-
Eliminate paresis, paralysis, and coordination disorders
-
Restore lost brain functions
-
Recover speech, vision, and smell
-
Improve memory and intellectual performance
-
Normalize intracranial pressure and regulate internal organ functions
-
Eliminate spasticity, contractures, and joint deformities
Objectives of the program
-
Local tissue restorationLocal tissue restoration at the trauma epicentre, eliminating the risk of scar formation, and minimising secondary inflammation and adhesions.
-
Restoration of the entire brainRestoration of the entire brain, its membranes, skull bones, sinuses, blood vessels, and nerves in the injured region.
-
Overall recovery at the organism levelOverall recovery at the organism level—optimal symmetry, correct head positioning, correction of muscle-joint balance of the spine and other joints.

Q&A
Yes, our methodology is particularly effective for the multiple and combined injuries characteristic of motor vehicle accidents. We address deep tissue damage, hidden structural shifts, the consequences of acceleration-deceleration forces, and post-traumatic stress, working systematically to restore both function and structural integrity.
Yes, we do work with children. Pediatric rehabilitation requires gentler protocols, careful monitoring of exertion, and special consideration for the developing nervous system. In cases involving the consequences of birth trauma, the program is highly individualized, as these conditions typically involve a more complex structure of impairments and long-term effects.
In such cases, the program focuses on restoring motor patterns, coordination training, correcting myofascial dysfunctions, and working on balance and fine motor skills. Cognitive deficits—such as attention, memory, and information processing speed—are addressed simultaneously. The stages are structured so that the nervous system can gradually establish stable compensatory connections.
Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI), individuals may experience a range of motor, cognitive, speech, sensory, and autonomic dysfunctions. Our Center addresses both the localized and systemic consequences. Our approach involves correcting structural displacements and mechanical blockages, restoring coordination, and rehabilitating muscle and joint function. We also work to improve cognitive and speech deficits. This comprehensive treatment is conducted in stages, utilizing the proprietary methodology developed by Professor Blum.
Our program incorporates several key methodologies: neuro-mechanical techniques, tissue pump therapy, biomechanical correction, as well as protocols to restore vascular and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. These are integrated with elements of physical and neurological rehabilitation. Together, these approaches enhance blood supply, promote neuroplasticity, and aid in compensating for impaired brain functions.
The length of recovery is determined by the severity of the injury, the extent of the damage, how quickly treatment begins, and the patient's overall pre-injury health. Mild injuries may require a few weeks, while more serious cases typically take several months. For significant impairments, the program may be longer-term; however, progress is monitored closely and the approach is adapted based on the patient's condition.
Rehabilitation is recommended even for a mild concussion because this period is crucial for restoring normal cerebrospinal fluid flow and preventing increased intracranial pressure. Additionally, specialists assess the condition of surrounding tissues and structures to identify hidden displacements and micro-damage, which often don't become apparent until several months after the injury.
The complexity of the injury depends on the person's condition at the time of the incident. Minimal consequences occur when the person was unconscious or asleep: such patients suffer the least from traumatic stress and muscular shielding since the mechanisms and instincts of self-preservation did not activate. The most consequences occur when there was fear and tension from a protective reaction. The severity is related to a powerful cavitation intratissue "explosion," multiple microcracks, and tears that extend far beyond the visible boundary of the injury zone. These are difficult to diagnose but are crucial factors in planning the timing and results of restorative treatment.
This depends on the complexity of the injury, previous treatments, and the initial state of the body. To get a detailed answer, schedule a free consultation with a Centre doctor.
The cost of rehabilitation is 600 euros per day without accommodation, from 719 euros per day with accommodation in a standard double room at the hotel on the Centre’s premises. The exact duration and cost of the treatment course are determined after consultation with the doctor.
The post-traumatic rehabilitation process is divided into several stages:
- Specialist consultation.
Online consultation with a rehabilitation therapist: review of medical history, complaints, treatment results, determination of the duration and cost of the treatment course. If necessary, a plan for additional examination is developed. -
Determination of the rehabilitation plan.
Consultation with Professor Blum and a rehabilitation therapist.
Examination, biomechanical testing, diagnosis according to the proprietary system, determination of problems and their priority, development of an individual comprehensive rehabilitation program. -
Attendance at sessions.
In accordance with the developed program, the patient attends sessions at the Centre. The rehabilitation therapist evaluates the progress and adjusts the program. -
Finishing the treatment course.
Receiving recommendations and a set of exercises to do at home.
