Elinka with SMA 1 and her second stay in HENDI CENTRE.

In the management of a family with a child with the serious genetic condition spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), rehabilitation plays an indispensable role from diagnosis throughout life. HENDI CENTRUM has been providing comprehensive rehabilitation care for patients with this diagnosis from all over Slovakia and neighbouring countries since 2020. Elinka from the Czech Republic was diagnosed with the most severe type 1 SMA in her fifth month of life. Thanks to gene therapy and regular rehabilitation, she is progressing step by step. Watch a short video to see how Elinka, who will turn three this summer, fared during her second rehabilitation stay at the HENDI CENTRE.

SWAZAR at the HENDI CENTRE helped 5-year-old Andrejka.

A combination of a swap and bazaar with a charity dimension and a rich accompanying programme - that was SwaZar in the rehabilitation HENDI CENTRE in Piešt'any. On Tuesday, 29 November, we were visited by writer, musician and actor Braňo Jobus to tell children about his books for young readers. At the fundraising event he talked, sang a few songs to the stories and signed the books.

Thank you for successful representation of Slovakia!

"The HENDI REHABILITATION CENTRE has started to fulfil its commitment announced on the occasion of the celebration of its first birthday - to donate to all Tokyo medallists a 500-euro voucher for the services of the local centre." (source SPV, author: Roman Végh)
As a thank you for their successful representation, HENDI CENTRE presented each Paralympic medallist with a gift voucher, which they can use for intensive rehabilitation or outpatient therapy at our facility. We believe that through quality rehabilitation with qualified staff we will contribute to even better fitness, recovery and motivation for even better results of our great athletes.

In the HENDI CENTRE we also work intensively with adult clients. Regular rehabilitation makes sense throughout life. Patients in adulthood have different problems due to their condition. The aim of rehabilitation in adulthood is to maintain independence, reduce pain, maintain the ability to move around if possible and thus prevent their own isolation. Veronika, who has been practically rehabilitating her whole life, told us on camera about her first stay at the HENDI CENTRE.

At the HENDI CENTRE we have a solution for every movement problem. Many of our clients suffer from a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy, which requires lifelong rehabilitation. If a child or later a teenager or adult does not rehabilitate, movement goes backwards. Regular exercise is the only chance to progress not only physically but also mentally. 26-year-old Lucia, diagnosed with DMO, came to HENDI CENTER without high expectations, but with the help of stable and unstable aids, she has accomplished great things. What were they? Find out in our video.

Our qualified physiotherapists always approach young children in a playful way. They use toys and all possible means to engage the child during intensive rehabilitation, so that he or she is motivated enough to move. Two-year-old Oliverko started rehabilitation at the HENDI CENTRE at the beginning of 2021, and has now completed two intensive stays for babies and toddlers and several outpatient therapies. In the video you can see how he is progressing.
