Women’s Health and Sports Medicine Center

The Center

A dedicated sports medicine center exclusively for women, the first one in Greece, has been established at MITERA Hospital. It caters for anyone who wishes to exercise safely and stay healthy and in shape, from professional athletes to new mothers. It is staffed with a team of distinguished scientists with long experience in women’s injuries and medical conditions.

Our aim

To prevent injuries, treat and fully rehabilitate women, and promote health, safe exercise and general wellbeing.
