Travelling around Europe without a car, Mr Jackson from the USA experienced problems with his foot and an arthritic knee. He visited Terme Selce near Rijeke in Croatia, where they specialise in diagnostics and prevention, physical medicine and rehabilitation, sports medicine, and medical wellness.
Mr Jackson recalls: "After the doctors examined me, the genial staff bombarded my foot and knee with every kind of therapy imaginable for seven hours a day – ultrasound, magnets, electrical stimulation, suction, ice, manipulation, stretching, and thera-band resistance. There were daily massages of back, feet and Achilles tendons, along with daily workouts in the gym. The cost for this therapy worked out to about $20 an hour. The podiatrist I saw later in London told me that the $140 a day I spent at Terme Selce would get me one hour of therapy in London. The price of lodging was also reasonable. I stayed at the Hotel Selce, in a quite satisfactory room with a fantastic view of the Adriatic, for about $100 a day at the height of tourist season."
