ABOUT US
Scipion polyclinic is a system that combines physiotherapy, orthopedics, neurosurgery, vertebrology, kinesiotherapy, recreation and fitness training for athletes. It started its operation in 1996 as a small physiotherapy clinic in the center of Rijeka, and following the growing needs for specific specialized treatment, it grew first into a recreation and rehabilitation center, and then into the Polyclinic it is today.
Treatment of sports injuries, painful conditions of the spine, orthopedic diseases and kinesiotherapy before and rehabilitation after surgical procedures are our specialties.
You can find more about the diseases we deal with in the section of the website called Scipion Academy, which is dedicated to providing information and education.
The treatment methods we apply arise from and are a continuation of our effort to understand and explain the mechanical and biological changes to the propulsion system.

For this purpose, we are guided by the Tension model of the functioning of the locomotor system, which, as an original contribution to physiotherapy, we designed and developed precisely in Scipion. It allows us to detect local and distant causes of a painful condition or injury, and to treat not only the consequences, but also the established causes.
We are of the opinion that without direct mechanical intervention, either in the form of manual therapy (mobilization or manipulation of joints and soft tissues), or an active pocket typical of exercise, it is not possible to approach the rehabilitation of most pathological conditions that we encounter in everyday practice. In this sense, the Tension Model leads us in the direction that makes possible a focused and maximally individualized therapeutic intervention for each patient and his disorder in particular.
