Physıcal Therapy & Rehabılıtatıon

Physical therapists and specialists typically assist patients who present with movement restrictions resulting from injuries, illnesses, or surgical interventions. Their primary goals are to help patients regain mobility and independence, reduce pain, increase muscle strength, and improve functionality.

The department of physical therapy and rehabilitation employs various treatment techniques. These may include exercise therapy, manual therapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound, hot-cold therapy, massage, traction, and, when necessary, the use of supportive devices such as orthotics or prosthetics. The treatment process is personalized based on the patient’s condition and needs.

The professionals in this department evaluate patients, make diagnoses, and develop treatment plans. They also provide patients with exercise programs and mobility education. Physical therapists support the recovery process and monitor the progress of patients using a range of methods and techniques.

The department of physical therapy and rehabilitation is effective for various conditions, including orthopedic problems, musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions (stroke, brain damage, spinal cord injuries), postoperative recovery, sports injuries, and chronic pain conditions.

This specialization embraces a multidisciplinary approach and collaborates with other healthcare professionals, members of the rehabilitation team (such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists), as well as the patient’s family and caregivers. The aim is for the patient to achieve complete recovery and independence through comprehensive care.
