The virtual reality rehabilitation of patients with impaired motor skills and the salt room – halotherapy were implemented 100 percent and gave very good results and good feedback from the patients, Evgenia Ivanova reported.
The digital rehabilitation system is magic, because it immediately reports real achievements, and for sick people this opportunity is extremely valuable, Mrs. Ivanova emphasized.

The joint application of the “Nirvana” system with the other rehabilitation methods of the physiotherapy department is impressive, because the patients gain independence faster and their interest is great, shared the head Dr. Teodora Payakova.
The digital rehabilitation room “Nirvana” and the Salt Room are named after Dr. Ilinka Ilieva, in honor and in memory of the rehabilitator who gave the idea and worked to implement innovative treatment methods in the hospital.
