Not long ago I suffered from severe neck pains that probably originated from an earlier injury. In general, I am not unrealistic, but it is not an overstatement to say that in just three treatments Mr Sakellariou helped me overcome the problem and the pains I had. I have returned to my daily activities and most importantly I can hug my daughter without any discomfort. Kosta, thank you!

I needed physical therapy after a fracture of the outer ankle joint. I had never had physical therapy before. A relative of mine (doctor) introduced me to this physical therapy clinic. I think the physical treatments I had, helped me greatly to gain the strength my leg had lost due to the fracture and the immobility that followed. Physical therapy also helped me get through with some pains I had in the fractured area.

I came for symptoms of multiple sclerosis (tingling in the hands, neck and spine pain, weakness in the left leg). I had never had physical therapy. The site had enough information for me to select your clinic. After every session all my weak spots feel stronger. The specific exercises have helped me function more ‘normally’, especially with my leg. It’s a very nice place, well organized… Aspa is simply top-notch.

For 8-9 months I had a strong grip and a sense of stiffness in my neck movements, while, when pressing on the spots bothering me, I was in even worse pain. The intensity of the grip was 8 when the worst discomfort scores at 10. It was aching even at night. This discomfort spread on the back with more tension in the neck. In the morning I would wake up a little less stiff but after a while the tension would reach maximum. As the day went on, the feeling of fatigue increased and when carried on until the afternoon, without a break, I would also have a headache. I got a headache once or twice a week. The environment of the clinic is very pleasant and the strongest and most persistent of pains is forgotten from the very first visit. Thank you so much for your interest in my problem.

“Since the beginning of September 2014 I have been suffering with lower back pain. In December, after lifting of weight, the pain extended to my right leg so I couldn’t move it at all. On January 20, 2015, I had surgery in the waist, but while the symptoms disappeared, I was afraid to do sports and lost my elasticity. For some years now I’ve been doing ballet, pilates and yoga.” I started physiotherapy on April 22, 2015. I was afraid of movements and gymnastics, and skeptical about whether I would ever again do the sports I liked. After discussion with the physio expert who assured that I could do anything as long as I had no discomfort, a torso (trunk) strengthening program was applied based on muscle control and body awareness exercises, with an exercise protocol of strengthening and activating the muscles of the “core” of the torso. I wish to point out that the clinic is really neat, with the proper equipment and friendly environment created by consistent and professional people.

Mr. Sakellariou answers and explains all questions clearly. With the therapeutic methods he adopts, the patient does have tangible results. I was very pleased. Thanks for your contribution to my improvement and return to my sporting activities. Keep it up!

I have had a painful neck for 20 years. I did everything possible, from physical therapy, chiropractic and various other techniques, but the problem was never solved. At least once a week it would strike to the point where I felt I was dying, and it often lasted up to two or three days. I have also visited the pain clinic of a state hospital. Since I started Manual Physiotherapy, the pain has been reduced and is more tolerable. I do not experience these intense attacks I have suffered from and even in cases under intense pressure (such as my husband’s hospitalization) I managed to control and keep the pain at a low level. In general, the situation is more manageable than before. For the last five days that I’ve been coming, I feel really good, I’m very happy and satisfied that I finally managed to do something that worked, because with what I have been going through for so many years I was frustrated that nothing would work as I had tried all kinds of techniques, acupuncture and others, without experiencing any improvement in my condition.  Mr. Sakellariou has helped me immensely to mobilize myself and supported me in not giving up whenever I feel some pain. I realized that the problem is psychosomatic and he assisted me in viewing it differently. The Manual physiotherapy group is one of the few professional bodies which managed, not only to help me cope with my pains, but also to feel so humanly close to them in only ten (10) treatment sessions.

Although there is a serious injury, I chose to have conservative treatment because I did not want to undergo surgery at that moment. After analysis of the limitations of the conservative treatment, a rehabilitation program was applied, aiming to the restoration of the full knee trajectory, which was achieved. The emphasis was then placed on improving balance and stimulation of kinesthetic sources, as well as improving strength on both legs. The knee is functional and does not obstruct daily activities. I am very pleased with the overall work done for me and by the outcome too. My knee is now very well again after only seven (7) treatment sessions.

My shoulder started to hurt after a weight training session when I lifted 110 pounds in dumbbell bench presses for breast exercise. The pain gradually worsened to a peak, 2 weeks after the start of the problem. When I came here, I had already stopped training for two and a half months. I followed an active rehabilitation program based on functional needs and adapted to my sport. My hand is much better, it has almost fully recovered, within 4 treatment sessions. I am delighted!.

After eight (8) months of unbearable lower back and leg pain due to activation of three cysts that hit the nerves, after countless cocktails of painkillers on a daily basis and the instructions of doctors for immediate intervention, or else it was bound in the long term to result into paralysis, an authority in the field was the cause of my stopping to take pills and for the pain to smooth significantly. Most importantly I can move without stopping every three steps due to endless cramps. I am very lucky that through two people from Voula Hospital who are helping me, I came to this physical therapy clinic in the center of Athens and I do feel the need to say a huge ‘thank you’!!

Suffering from an unspecified form of back pain, with lower back pain from time to time, I was referred to Mr Sakellariou and his team. From the very first session I felt great relief with the manual therapy techniques he applies with very good results. We started by treating the pain and limited mobility, and completed the treatment with exercises so that I have fully returned physically and psychologically to my daily life and gym exercises. A well-equipped clinic with a range of exercise and rehabilitation apparatus. I would recommend it unreservedly!

Kostas Sakellariou is an excellent scientist and physiotherapist with professional integrity.  I met him many years ago when I was injured in a car accident and had a knee operation with four knee screws.  Kostas willingly came home for the first necessary treatments and then I went to his clinic where, with patience, expert knowledge and techniques, made sure my knee was restored. That was how we met.  A few years later, when i had a meniscus rupture in my left leg, again the sessions with him worked a miracle. Assisted by his impeccable partner and in a short time, the rupture was something of the past!  The clinic is splendidly decorated offering tranquility during exercise sessions.  In addition to the highly trained physiotherapist, Kostas is also distinguished for the special care and attention he gives his patients. But, above all, his sense of humor is what creates a pleasant ambiance that enables the patient to feel comfortable and relaxed.  I highly recommend the professional, Kosta Sakellariou, to those who need the expert and personal care of physiotherapy as he is knowledgeable in his field and uses this know-how to the benefit of his patients.

For the past five or six months, I was suffering from acute neck pain, especially during working hours. After a consultation with Mr Sakellariou, it was identified that the problem was rooted in my wrong body posture. He explained to me how various forces impact on structures such as nerves and muscles and later proceeded to treatment with stretching as well as neck movements in a highly professional and careful way. I was given advice on how to deal with the problem during work, which is predominantly sedentary. In our meeting, my personal trainer who was with me, after discussion with the physiotherapist, received useful advice on less wear and tear and pressure at the point during training. I felt the friendly environment rather than the typical relationship of a physiotherapist with the patient, which helped me understand exactly what I should do. He even perceived the psychological issues involved which were the anxiety and stress I experienced in my work environment. A week later, the first results were visible and my body was functioning without stressing my neck, not only at work but also in gym workouts, whether aerobic or with weights.

My problem was chronic lower back pain. I was urged by a friend rheumatologist to come to you. Because of my trust in the doctor, I decided to do so. I had had previous treatments without any success though. With physical therapy, muscular strengthening was achieved and I learned to move and support my body much better. I think what helped me most were the “plank” type exercises and strengthening of the legs. What I liked about you was your knowledge on the subject, the encouragement and friendly treatment. Also your different approach in the treatment of the problem (doctors usually suggest medication and immobility). For all these reasons I would strongly introduce you to any of my friends or acquaintances. Thank you very much for everything and hope that some day you will move to the vicinity of Peristeri as well where I live.

The problem I needed you to sort was leg and buttock pain as I had been diagnosed with trochanteritis. I was introduced by a well-known physical therapist who claimed that since I hadn’t found elsewhere an answer to my problem, it was only here I would be healed. I had had several physical therapies, not only without any positive outcome whatsoever, but my discomfort got even worse. On the very first visit I realized that Mr Sakellariou is indeed knowledgeable, he understood what my problem was, so he would be able to solve it. I was mostly assisted by exercises. I’ve never suffered any pain since then though I had been limping before. A very amicable environment, clean, everyone was polite and gave me the attention I needed. From the first visit I felt I was going to be fine, he’s knowledgeable, I believed in him. After getting well again, the friends who saw me couldn’t believe their eyes and wanted to come see by themselves. So of course, I would recommend anyone to Mr. Sakellariou. A big thank you, I had had a poor life till then, I simply couldn’t accomplish anything by myself.

After an important knee surgery and being a student for a few months in Greece (and not speaking Greek) it was a relief to find Mr. Sakellariou for my physio therapy.
Not only was he good as a physio therapist and gave me back hope when orthopedists were telling me I should forget about all sports, but he is also really friendly and we had some nice chat in English (his English is perfect) and even in French.
I will highly recommend him for English speakers looking for a highly competent physiotherapist in Athens. Moreover Mr Sakellariou has been really helpful in dealing with my German insurance.
