Rehabilitation & physiotherapy
Runs its own in-house physical therapy & rehabilitation center with 1:1 physiotherapist care and hydrotherapy equipment. A peer-reviewed study from this group (Park et al., International Orthopaedics 2019, n=125) found that after cosmetic tibia lengthening, daily-living and light-sport function return near pre-op levels by about 2 years, while moderate-to-strenuous sport capacity often stays reduced — underlining that rehab is a multi-year, outcome-critical phase.

Independence: this clinic cannot pay to change its ranking, Directory Score, tier, or reviews. Paid options affect presentation only and are always labeled. We take no commission and charge no per-patient fee. Editorial policy.
