SUCCESS STORIES
Mykola
Mykola was wounded during the frontline battles for the defense of Ukraine. As a result of an acute stroke, he had severe paralysis of the right side of his body, had difficulty speaking, and experienced uncontrolled movements. When he came to our center, Mykola could barely move. He could walk only 30 meters at a time before he needed to sit down and rest. However, he refused to use a wheelchair and struggled to regain his mobility as he once did. The first stage of his rehabilitation lasted 3 months. In the first weeks, his endurance improved significantly, and the therapists adjusted his gait pattern, allowing Mykola to walk more than 1 km without rest. His limb function improved, spasticity decreased, and fine motor skills improved. By the end of the 1st stage, Mykola significantly increased his walking pace and was able to cover a distance of 3 km at a steady pace. During his rehabilitation at the 'Way to Health', the staff began to call him 'our mascot' for the unsurpassed positive attitude Mykola radiates. Thanks to psychotherapy, his mental state has also improved significantly. Now Mykola is confidently looking forward to the 2nd stage of his rehabilitation journey, anticipating further progress. Our therapists achieve good results in the recovery of patients due to their individualized and comprehensive approach. Mykola's testimonial: "After a severe concussion that led to a stroke, I had no hope of returning to an active life. But thanks to the specialists of the 'Way to Health', I learned to function like anyone else again. It was extremely important for me to be able to do things on my own
Lesya
Lesya's story begins with a severe injury she sustained during the fighting, particularly to her right shoulder joint. The diagnosis painted a complex picture of her shoulder condition, including a shattered joint, spinal tumors, nerve damage, and decreased blood supply. She was also struggling with several disturbing mental symptoms: panic attacks, increased anxiety, inability to sleep, difficulty concentrating, and general indifference. In search of healing and recovery, Lesia turned to the "Way to Health". This decision was the beginning of a comprehensive and holistic approach to her recovery. Together with a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals and psychologists, Lesia embarked on a journey that would not only heal her physical wounds, but also provide her with the tools to overcome her emotional challenges. During the rehabilitation period, Lesia made significant progress thanks to her dedication and the guidance of her therapists. The range of motion in her right shoulder joint has improved significantly, accompanied by an increase in the strength of her right arm muscles and strengthening of her muscle corset. Performing carefully selected exercises contributed to these achievements and improved her overall physical well-being. But Lesia's story is not limited to physical recovery. The psychological support she received played an integral role in her recovery. Her progress has been significant. Her mood has become stable again and her sleep has improved significantly. More importantly, Lesia learned to manage and cope with her panic attacks, an achievement that highlighted her inner strength and resilience. There were no signs of suicidal tendencies or cognitive impairment, which emphasizes the positive impact of the psychological assistance she received. Now that Lesya's rehabilitation period at our rehabilitation center is coming to an end, her outlook on the future is optimistic and focused. She can focus on her life and especially on her precious family. Lesya's journey from trauma to recovery is a testament to the amazing capacity of the human body and mind to heal and thrive. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of a skilled team of professionals and Lesya's unwavering determination, she overcame physical and emotional obstacles to become stronger and more resilient. Her story serves as an inspiration to all who face challenges, reminding us that with the right support and attitude, the path to healing and personal growth is always within reach.
