TERME SELCE has been acknowledged as a center for injury prevention, diagnostics, medical care, basic training, therapy and rehabilitation for professional athletes and amateur sportsmen for over 15 years. Its programs were developed by Dr Vlasta Brozičević, specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. She works with many top level Olympic and professional sportsmen.
Being focused on the medical and psychological rehabilitation, fitness and training needs of sportsmen, Dr Brozičević has developed an individualized sport & medical protocol featuring a variety of treatment modalities, named TS*APSP, an abbreviation for Terme Selce* Advanced Professional Sports Program.
TERME SELCE Health and Sport Center has an experienced and highly qualified staff of 40 employees. Through their multidiscipline approach and teamwork, this staff have ensured excellent results with their clients. The staff of doctors of various medical specializations, physiotherapists, masseurs, nurses, coaches, kinesiologists and others provide a variety of services within highly individualized treatment protocols.
The TERME SELCE team has provided treatment for and monitored the sports careers of many sportsmen of all ages and sports types - recreational and professional, juniors and seniors, and in individual or team sports.
Competitive Amateur and Professional Sportsmen' Needs
Competitive amateur and professional athletes work hard on their skills every day and they are exposed to extreme efforts which disrupt their physical and psychological balance, exposing them to the risk of injury, chronic fatigue, infections, stress and low self-esteem. Even the burn-out syndrome can become a reality for some athletes.
The coaches and managers conducting a sportsman's career sometimes cannot identify moments of personal or physical crisis, nor can they objectively or holistically evaluate the performance possibilities of their athlete.
The problem becomes even greater when significant injuries occur; at this point the duration and success of a sportsman's career is often in question.
To anticipate risks, to avoid crises and to act primarily through prevention rather than intervention, the TERME SELCE’s expert team has developed methods for continuous support and workout systems for specific and advanced sports programs for competitive amateurs and professional sportsmen that have repeatedly led to excellent results.

Pre-preparation work-out programs for sportsmen
It's important for the coaches of top level athletes to know which adjustments in basic training should be made and carried out at certain times: following a battery of tests and other methods, we provide such information for them and make the regular training individually more successful.
We further provide individual workout programs for sportsmen that at some specific moment were not able to:
- fully comply with the requests of the coach or
- follow their previously planned training program or
- follow their team pace in general.
Prevention of sports injuries and ensuring sports progress
Top-level amateur and professional sportsmen, especially in individual sports, need neutral experts to gain the following information:
- objectively evaluate their performance,
- define their risks of injuries and prevent them,
- possibly eliminate physical and psychological limits,
- make conditions for sport progress and
- maximize the likeli head top-level performance.
Sometimes the request for objective evaluation and direction is given by the athlete himself, if he/she wishes to achieve more or quicker progress; sometimes it is requested by the athletes coach and/or manager.
Handling crises & enabling sports come-back after injuries
TERME SELCE * ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL SPORTS PROGRAM is especially effective:
- for a successful come-back following a sport injury / surgery – with an effective therapy and rehabilitation plan,
- for handling or by-passing of physical and psychological crises during a sportsman's career or during long-lasting periods of rehabilitation (such as motivation, adjustments, positive anticipation and workout).
We must emphasize that TERME SELCE has been participating for over a decade in medical treatments with the world-leading physicians in reconstructive orthopedic surgery and cartilage transplantation of the knee, and in many other post-operative conditions. The results of this work and related research has been the development of innovative methods in rehabilitation protocols and methods of handling crisis. Terme Selce treatment protocols have enabled successful come-backs of top-level sportsmen on many occasions.
Enabling sports success and long duration of sport careers
We objectively determine parameters for a medically, physiologically and psychologically supported advanced sport program, focused on diminishing the minuses and enhancing the pluses of the individual sportsman.
Together with his or her coaches and the Terme Selce staff, the sportsman can establish and fulfill realistic goals, get even stronger motivation and set a direction in the regular training process.
All of these factors influence sport progress and success, and represent a pre-condition for top-level and long-lasting sport performance.
TS*APSP – Pre-preparation in Sports
