Detailed impressions of the rehabilitation course

We arrived at the Boya clinic only a few days ago, but the feeling that we are finally in the right place has not left us since we walked in. Talking to other parents, we kept hearing enthusiastic reviews about rehabilitation in Yuncheng and about Dr. Xue's unique approach to developing children's intellectual abilities. That caught our attention, because we felt this was exactly the direction we needed to move in. The decision to come to Boya was a considered one, and now, after the first days, we can see that our intuition did not let us down. There is a special atmosphere here — you can feel the professionalism and the sincere desire to help, and it gives hope. 🙏 Our first acquaintance with the Boya clinic began with a two-hour examination by Dr. Xue — it was something incredible! We have never seen such attention to our child anywhere. Dr. Xue did not just formally look through the documents — he dove into the medical history, asked many questions, examined our daughter thoroughly and ordered an additional EEG for a more accurate picture. The clinic itself makes a very pleasant impression: everything is clean, the rooms are spacious and bright, there are only a few children — you can feel a calm, almost homely atmosphere. This is especially valuable when you come for rehabilitation with a child who already finds it hard to adapt to a new place. I would also like to say a special word about the Boya clinic staff — a real team of professionals and simply wonderful people! Everyone — from the exercise therapy instructors to the nurses — surrounds us with such care and attention that you feel not like in a hospital, but like visiting good friends. They are always ready to help, to support, to play with the child, to give mum a minute of rest. The clinic's location is also very convenient: the apartment is literally across the road, which is very handy, especially with a child tired after the sessions. There are shops nearby where you can buy everything you need, and for evening walks — a beautiful lake and a pedestrian street. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail so that rehabilitation is as comfortable and effective as possible. I also want to tell you about the approach to rehabilitation. 🌟 Dr. Xue focuses not only on intensive sessions, but also on such seemingly simple things as sleep, daily routine and proper recovery. We used to chase only the number of procedures, thinking that "more means better", but Dr. Xue explained that for a child's brain, quality rest and recovery are just as important as the sessions themselves. This softer, more balanced approach pleasantly surprised us and inspired trust. 🤝

I want to share too! We did a rehabilitation course at the Boya hospital in Yuncheng. We are very happy with the rehabilitation — they finally got us moving again, after more than a year without any visible results. China gave us a push, and we brought results home. First of all, Fedya's intellect took off — it is as if he became a year older: he started answering yes/no questions, although before that the spastic root of his tongue would not let him do it. He began to say the first letters of words — we started to understand what he wants; before, it was only gestures towards whatever he wanted. He started completing multi-step puzzles appropriate for his age. As for physical skills: the scissoring in his legs is gone, he now holds his lower back steady, and he can stand holding on to a support with just one hand — that is the breakthrough of the year!!! And all of this in 1 month and 10 days, during which we worked hard from morning till evening. We really hope to come back.

I am Gulshat, the mother of seven-year-old Batyr from Turkmenabat. My son has an intellectual disability. We searched for a long time for a place to do rehabilitation, and finally decided to go to China, to the Boya hospital in Yuncheng. Of course, I was very worried. But we had to do something — things had become really difficult at home. Batyr would sometimes get angry, scream, and hardly said anything at all. When we arrived, I immediately liked Dr. Xue. He talked to Batyr as if he were family, even though Batyr stayed silent. The doctor said he would help, but that we would have to work at it for a long time. I remember the day Batyr put his shoes on by himself for the first time. It may seem like nothing to you, but for me it was a real event! Before, he refused no matter what, screamed, pulled away. And then — just like that, he put them on. A month has passed now. Batyr has become calmer, started to speak a little, eats by himself. Of course, full recovery is still far away, but I can see that they are helping him there. And I am no longer as afraid as I used to be.

My name is Svetlana, I am from Vitebsk, Belarus. My son Yaroslav has autism. He is 5 years old. We decided to go to the Boya hospital in Yuncheng because things had become unbearable at home. Yaroslav hardly spoke, did not play with other children, and was on his own all the time. He threw tantrums over anything. 😫 The doctors back home just spread their hands and said it was for life. But I did not give up. 💪 I saw reviews about this hospital online, and we made up our minds. It was scary, of course — I had never been anywhere except Vitebsk. But we had to do something. I remember how, after the first week of sessions, Yaroslav looked me in the eye with focus for the first time. Before that he avoided eye contact altogether. He also started dressing himself. I used to dress him like a little one, and then suddenly he pulled his trousers on by himself. A month has passed now. Yaroslav has become calmer, he tries to play with other children. 😊 Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead, but I can see that they are helping him here. 👍 And I believe everything will be all right.

Polina used to be afraid to go outside and covered her ears with her hands at any noise. After a rehabilitation course at the Boya hospital she has become calmer; now she can walk with me in the yard and even say hello to the neighbours. For me this is huge progress!

Hello! My name is Olga, I am from Krasnodar. I want to share my experience of talking to the Boya clinic before we arrived. We first found information about the clinic online, when we were looking for rehabilitation options for our daughter Arina (3 years old, cerebral palsy). We wrote to their email, and the very next day a clinic representative replied. He answered all our questions very patiently and told us in detail about the rehabilitation methods, the living conditions and the cost of the procedures. When we decided to go, the clinic representative helped us with the visa paperwork. We sent the necessary documents, and they arranged the invitation for the visa centre. The whole process took about two weeks, and right away they helped us buy the tickets — they offered several options at a good price. They also gave us detailed instructions on what to take with us: clothes, toys, food for the first days, so as not to overload the suitcases with unnecessary things. Before the trip they reminded us of the important points: how to check in at the airport, whom to call if any difficulties came up, and that we would be met in Beijing with a sign. That was very reassuring, because I was very worried about the journey with a child. On arrival a driver did meet us, helped with the luggage and took us straight to the clinic. Everything went smoothly, without stress. Thank you so much for such clear organisation!

I want to tell you how we prepared for the trip to the Boya clinic for our son's rehabilitation. ✈️ Our first contact with the clinic started through their website — we filled in the feedback form, and literally a couple of hours later a clinic representative called us. He was a very pleasant young man who immediately won us over with his friendliness. 😊 He explained how the rehabilitation is organised, what procedures they offer, and even told us success stories of other children. When the visa was ready, the clinic representative helped us choose the route and buy the tickets — they took our preferences for the departure time and a convenient connection into account. Before the trip they sent us a detailed checklist: what to take with us, how to prepare the child for the long journey, which food is better to buy in advance. On arrival in Beijing an interpreter met us with a sign, helped with check-in for the next domestic flight and walked us to the entrance of the departure area. In Yuncheng we were met as well, driven to the clinic and helped to settle into the apartment. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail, and we felt safe and looked after from the very beginning. 🙏 Thank you so much to the whole clinic team for such well-coordinated work! 🌟

My name is Olga, I am from Astana, Kazakhstan. I want to share my impressions of our arrival and the first days at the Boya hospital. At the airport a driver met us with a sign, helped with the luggage and took us straight to the clinic. The whole transfer is free of charge. I was very worried about how we would be met, but it turned out I had worried for nothing — everything was organised clearly. The next day we had an examination with the neurologist Dr. Xue. He did not just look at my son — he carried out a full assessment: he watched his movements, asked me questions and even played with him. You rarely see such attention to detail. After the examination they immediately drew up a rehabilitation plan for us, explained all the procedures and answered all my questions. The conditions at the clinic are pleasing too — clean rooms, everything you need, a shop nearby. We are happy and confident that the rehabilitation will bring results!

I came with my daughter for rehabilitation at the Boya hospital. I want to note how well everything was thought through from the very start. At the airport we were met with a sign, helped with the suitcases and quickly taken to the clinic. The first day went calmly: we chose a room and managed to go to the shop for groceries together with the interpreter. The next morning the examination with the neurologist Dr. Xue began. It was not an ordinary examination but a whole study! The doctor watched carefully how Sofia reacts to toys, how she moves, how she interacts with me. He asked a lot of questions in order to understand my daughter better. After the examination they told us in detail about the rehabilitation methods and the procedures. I was very glad that the doctors are ready to listen to parents and take our wishes into account. The atmosphere at the clinic is calm and cosy, you feel at home.

Our experience of the arrival and the first day at the Boya hospital. At the airport a driver met us, helped with the luggage and took us to the clinic. On arrival we settled into a room straight away, where there is everything you need: beds, a wardrobe, a fridge, and even the Wi-Fi works perfectly. The next morning an examination with the neurologist Dr. Xue was waiting for us. The doctor asked a lot of questions and even asked to see videos of our sessions at home. After the examination he personally drew up a rehabilitation plan, explained every procedure and gave recommendations for exercises at home. What pleased us especially is that the doctors here work not formally but with heart. The conditions at the clinic are excellent: everything is clean and cosy, there are shops and cafés nearby. We are very happy and believe that the rehabilitation will bring results!

We spent a long time looking for where to turn, and finally decided to go to China. Before that, at home she hardly spoke — she only mumbled and pointed at what she needed. After a month of rehabilitation at the Boya hospital, Marina started saying her first words: "mama", "give", "here". For me this is simply a miracle! She began to understand when I ask her to do something simple, for example bring a toy or wash her hands before eating. Now I can see that she is trying to communicate, not just point with gestures. Thank you to Dr. Xue and all the instructors for their patience and care!

He used to not look me in the eye at all, he could rock on a chair for hours and did not react when I called him. At the Boya hospital they really helped us. Now Daniel comes up to me himself when he wants to eat, and he even tries to say "I want". He has also started playing with other children — that never happened before. For me this is a huge step forward!

Before the rehabilitation Sofia could not sit on her own, she kept falling over to one side. After three weeks of sessions at the Boya hospital she began to hold her back straight, though she still wobbles a little. But the main thing is that she can now hold a spoon and eat by herself — slowly, yes, but for us that is already a victory! I am very happy with the results and will definitely come back for a second course.

My son Artyom (8 years old) lives with the consequences of a traumatic brain injury. Before the rehabilitation he often mixed up words, could not remember where his things were and cried over every little thing. At the Boya hospital the doctors found the right approach to him. Now Artyom has become calmer, he has started dressing himself and even helps me lay the table. These are such simple things, but for me they mean a great deal. Thank you to the whole hospital team for their care!

Before the rehabilitation Kirill could not do up buttons by himself and often refused simple things like washing his face or putting on his shoes. 😔 After two months at the Boya hospital Kirill learned to do up the buttons on his shirt himself and even started helping me put the toys away after playing. 😊 I can see him becoming more independent, and that makes me happy. 🥰 Thank you to Dr. Xue and all the staff! 🙏

Hello! My name is Nargiz, I am from Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. My daughter Elmira (2 years old) has a speech development delay. She used to only cry when she wanted something and did not try to speak at all. After the rehabilitation course at the Boya hospital she started repeating simple words after me, for example "water" and "thank you". She has also begun to recognise animals in pictures and claps her hands happily when I show her a book. These are such small but important changes! Thank you to the doctors for their work!

Hello everyone! Before the rehabilitation Timur could not climb the stairs, not even with my help. After a month of sessions at the Boya hospital he already climbs one step by himself, holding on to the railing. He has also started playing with a ball — before he simply did not notice it. I am very glad about these changes and I believe things will get even better. Thank you all for your help!

Hi! My son Maxim (3 years old) has a delay in his mental and speech development. Before the rehabilitation he could not say a single word, he only cried when he wanted something. 😢 After three weeks at the Boya hospital he started saying "mama" and "papa", and he also tries to repeat simple phrases after me. 🥰 He has also become interested in cartoons — before he did not watch them at all. I am very happy with the results! 🎉

Hello! My daughter Alina (3 years old) has spinal muscular atrophy type 1. Before the rehabilitation she could not hold her head straight, she got tired quickly and cried a lot. After a month of sessions at the Boya hospital she holds her head more confidently and even tries to sit without support. These are such important changes for us! Thank you to all the doctors and instructors for their care and attention.

Hello! My name is Zheren and I would like to share our story about my son Murad's rehabilitation. He is 5 years old, he has cerebral palsy and a delay in his mental and speech development. We flew in from Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, hoping for the help we had heard so much about from other parents. The first thing that struck me at the Boya hospital was the attention to detail. Dr. Xue did not simply examine Murad — it was a whole study. He looked at his movements and his reactions, and asked questions that, it seemed, no one had thought about before. It gave us the feeling that we really were in "the right place". The second difference is the atmosphere of calm and comfort. It is quiet and peaceful at the Boya hospital; it was easier for Murad to adapt, he was not afraid of the doctors and went to his sessions with interest. As for the procedures, the approach here was unconventional too. Dr. Xue explained that the main thing is not the quantity but the quality and the balance between sessions and rest. What would I advise other parents? Do not be afraid to ask questions, to ask for explanations, to share your doubts. At the Boya hospital they value the parents' opinion and are ready to meet you halfway. And, of course, believe in your child! Even small steps are already a victory.

Hello! I am Gaukhar, the mother of three-year-old Zhuldyz from Taraz, Kazakhstan. My daughter has autism, and we came to the Boya hospital in Yuncheng. We had been looking for help for a long time and had tried different methods, but Zhuldyz seemed to live in her own world and did not respond to us. At Boya we were struck by how much everyone cared. Dr. Xue spent not a formal fifteen minutes with us but almost two hours! He played with Zhuldyz, watched her reactions and asked questions that, it seemed, no one had thought of asking before. I remember how, after the first acupuncture session, Zhuldyz suddenly looked me in the eye and smiled. It was her first conscious glance in six months! For me that was a huge victory. Now, after a month of rehabilitation, Zhuldyz sleeps better, she has started repeating simple words and tries to play with other children. Of course, this is only the beginning of the journey, but these are the first steps forward. Thank you so much to Dr. Xue and all the staff of the Boya hospital! 🙏
