Why rehabilitation is important

Recovery after tendon, ligament, or muscle injury must begin as early as possible to avoid complications and negative consequences of the injury. Without adequate treatment and early rehabilitation, blood, lymph, and tissue fluid that enter the tissues can cause chronic inflammation (arthritis) and the formation of fibrous overgrowths (arthrosis). Prolonged immobilisation with a splint, cast, or bandage can lead to muscle atrophy and limb reduction defect. Surgical intervention can result in scar tissue changes and adhesions. Walking with support from crutches or a cane, due to asymmetric load on the joints, disrupts body balance, causing compensatory redistribution of load, leading to secondary pathological changes in other joints and the spine, and pelvic distortions.

Proprietary method

Professor Blum, a former athlete who experienced many injuries while practising freestyle wrestling, recovered himself with his own method. Professor Blum's proprietary rehabilitation system is at the intersection of biology, mechanics, and physics. The method allows for the restoration of tissue architecture, joint geometry, optimization of blood supply, innervation, and synovial fluid production, restoring the joint and limb function to the original level, returning the patient to an active life without restrictions.

The Centre uses unique rehabilitation modular exercise machines that selectively and dosed impact the injured ligaments, tendons, muscles, and joints as a whole, avoiding overload. A comprehensive individual program is developed for each patient, implemented under the personal supervision of Professor Blum.

Types of injuries we work with

The Centre offers treatment and rehabilitation for the following injuries:

1. Sprains, tears, and ruptures of limb ligaments
2. Tears and ruptures of limb tendons
3. Sprains, tears, and ruptures of muscles
4. Sprains of spinal ligaments and muscles
5. Injuries to the ligaments and muscles of the pelvis
6. Sports injuries

The goal of restorative treatment is the fundamental restoration of all functions of the joint and limb, complete recovery of the body as a whole, elimination of injury consequences, including psychological ones, as well as complications and consequences of surgery and immobilisation.

For the development of a personalised program and objective planning of expected results, the volume of injured tissues, severity, duration, and depth of the injury, results of the treatment performed, duration of immobilisation, condition of other joints, the background of the injury, and the overall energy resource – age, chronic diseases, previous injuries, and surgeries are assessed. The target level of recovery is determined – for everyday life, amateur, or professional sports future.
