Abstract

Soon after the establishment of rehabilitation wings in clinics and health spas in Zagreb, the need arose for establishing such a department in our institution as well. The Health&Medicine wing in the Varaždinske Toplice Health Spa was established in 1957, among the first in Croatia, with wholehearted effort by Dr. Đuro Pintač.
With the development of specialization in physical medicine and rehabilitation, also being Dr. Pintač’s specialties, all collected knowledge in these fields began to be applied in the institution. This was the core around which modern rehabilitation medicine and physical therapy developed for the next 50 years - hand in hand with pertinent diagnostics, apparatus, schooling and specialization of health employees and other personnel. The result of these efforts is this modern rehabilitation centre outfitted for rehabilitation of most grave of diseases, injuries and post-operative states of the locomotive system.
