Getting the treatment and rehabilitation you need can sometimes be difficult. However, what if there was a way to do the right thing and enjoy it at the same time? In Croatia, for example, you can take a health vacation in Rovinj, one of the most picturesque towns in Istria, and swim in the Adriatic sea while receiving medical treatments. Isn't that nice? In addition to providing rehabilitation and treatment for diseases of the locomotor system, the Hospital for Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Martin Horvat can also house you. This is a great summer vacation package, complete with a room to stay, medical care, and a good reason to get away.

In addition to physical therapy, indoor swimming pools with seawater, sports fields, and rehabilitation services, this hospital in Rovinj has a century-old tradition of offering healthcare. Aside from treating injuries to the central and peripheral nervous systems, it also has a beach designed to be accessible to individuals with disabilities, no matter how severe their disability is. They also specialize in degenerative, dystrophic, and rheumatic diseases.

The Rich History

The Hospital Martin Horvat dates back to the Austro-Hungarian era. The building was constructed in 1888 under the direction of Maria Theresa.

As directed by Theresa and Viennan doctors, the favorable Mediterranean climate and location on the peninsula of Sv Pelagia were ideal for treating bone diseases among the European aristocracy. The hospital's reputation as a health resort for rest and orthopedic rehabilitation has ensured patient loyalty over the centuries. In the Physical Therapy Department, all physiotherapeutic procedures are performed, including kinesiotherapy, electrotherapy, and hydrotherapy.

Take a Health Vacation in Rovinj

Regardless of your disability or age, a qualified hospital team will provide you with pre-operative and post-operative rehabilitation, therapies for acute and chronic pain conditions, or other rehabilitation and prevention programs useful for athletes as well as citizens who have musculoskeletal problems.

This hospital's medical-therapeutic beach has three ramps, depending on the level of independence of the patient, proving that the hospital was designed with their safety in mind. Furthermore, the hospital is surrounded by Mediterranean pine forests and plants, making it a perfect place for active recreation in nature. Taking in the fresh air and watching the sun or sunset sounds wonderful.

Wouldn't it be great if you could enjoy the benefits of a vacation while doing the right thing for your health? In the hospital, you can have your own room or apartment, or you can book accommodations at Villa Aurum nearby. You can relax and read a book there. You can swim or go to the beach. In addition, you could make new friends and visit a beautiful city. To me, it sounds like a vacation. Enjoy the day in Rovinj after the doctors have done their amazing jobs in the hospital. Croatia is a great destination for health vacations. Combine the arguments of I-have-to and I-want-to to make a healthy decision.

Enjoy some fresh Mediterranean air and improve your health in one of the best medical facilities in Croatia!
