Rehabilitation that starts immediately
The physiotherapists of Klíníkin work in close cooperation with orthopaedic surgeons, surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare professionals of Klíníkin. Therefore, we can begin rehabilitation immediately after surgery – often in the ward on the same day – and follow up with you until you have reached the targeted goal.
The facilities are excellent: large and bright treatment rooms and a spacious exercise room with the latest equipment. The room is equipped with HUR machines, Finnish training devices that use air pressure instead of weights. The load is adjusted in small increments from practically nothing, and the movement is smooth and even, making the equipment especially well-suited immediately after surgery, for older people, and for those who are starting again after a long break.
Physiotherapy is open to anyone with a doctor's referral – not only to those undergoing surgery with us.

This applies equally to individual and group therapy.
More information about patient co-payments can be found on the Icelandic Health Insurance website, sjukra.is.
Booking. You can attend up to 6 physiotherapy sessions without a doctor's referral. For Icelandic Health Insurance to contribute to the cost after that, a doctor's referral is required – patients who have surgery at Klíníkin receive the referral automatically, others can obtain one from their GP or a specialist.
First session. The physiotherapist examines you, assesses your condition and sets goals together with you. After surgery, this usually begins right away on the inpatient ward.
Treatment and follow-up. Frequency depends on need, usually 1–2 times a week at first. Home exercises are part of the treatment and you receive an exercise programme to follow between sessions. Group training in the HUR gym is also available for those it suits.
