DR. SERGEY VERBITSKIY
Individual rehabilitation programs for gradual and safe recovery after sports injuries, surgeries, or prolonged overload of the musculoskeletal system.
Individual rehabilitation programs
Rehabilitation with Dr. Verbitskiy is tailored to each patient individually — from athletes after injury to patients after surgery or prolonged overload. The goal is the gradual return of strength, mobility and confidence in movement.
Sports injuries
Programs for a safe return to sports activity after muscle and joint injuries.
Postoperative recovery
Gradual care after surgical procedures, adapted to the healing phase.
Individual program
Recovery plan tailored to the patient's condition, age and goals.
How rehabilitation is conducted
1. Assessment of condition
Assessment of the injury or overload and setting realistic recovery goals.
2. Gradual treatment
Individually tailored manual techniques and exercises according to the recovery phase.
3. Monitoring progress
Regular adjustment of the program based on progress and the body's response.
How the rehabilitation program is structured
Successful rehabilitation after injury or surgery proceeds gradually, in phases that respect the natural tissue healing process. Progressing too quickly can slow recovery, while moving too slowly can prolong loss of strength and mobility. Therefore, the program with Dr. Verbitskiy is always adjusted to the current healing phase.
- 🔹 Acute phase - reduction of pain and swelling, careful mobilization
- 🔹 Subacute phase - gradual return of mobility and basic strength
- 🔹 Functional phase - muscle strengthening and return to daily activities
- 🔹 Return to full activity - specific exercises tailored to the patient's sport or occupation
Each phase has clear criteria for progression to the next - for example range of motion, muscle strength and absence of pain with loading. This prevents the common mistake of self-guided recovery, when patients return to full activity too soon and risk re-injuring the same area.
Sport, occupation or daily life
The rehabilitation program varies according to the patient's goals. An athlete who wants to return to competition after a sports injury, requires a more demanding functional phase with movement patterns specific to their sport. A patient who primarily wants to safely perform daily tasks without pain in the knee or shoulder, and requires a more gradual, endurance-focused approach. Both approaches share the same basic principle - gradual and safe restoration of the body's strength and mobility.
Rehabilitation with Dr. Verbitskiy is often sensibly complemented by manual medicine to relax the surrounding muscles or with medical massage to relieve tension caused by altered movement patterns during recovery. The goal is always a holistic and safe return of the body to full function.

Here are the answers to our patients' most common questions.
When should I start rehabilitation after an injury?
As soon as possible after consulting a physician, or when the injury's acute phase allows - we discuss this at the initial assessment.
Is rehabilitation appropriate after surgery?
Yes, the program is adapted to the healing phase and the surgeon's instructions, with gradual increases in load.
How long does recovery take?
Duration depends on the type and severity of the injury - from a few visits to a longer program lasting weeks.
Is it suitable for older patients as well?
Yes, programs are adapted to the patient's age and general health condition.
Does rehabilitation include home exercises?
Yes, in addition to in-private practice treatments you will often receive simple home exercise recommendations that support progress between visits.
When can I return to sports activity?
Return to sport depends on the type of injury and progress in the functional phase. The goal is a safe return without risk of reinjury, so the decision is made individually.
Can I combine rehabilitation with manual therapy?
Yes, the combination of rehabilitative exercises and manual therapy often accelerates pain reduction and improves mobility.
