Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in Turkey

What is Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation?

Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation (Physiotherapy) is a medical specialty that focuses on restoring movement, strength, and functionality in patients who experience pain, injury, congenital disorders, or physical limitations due to trauma or chronic conditions. It combines advanced medical science, technology, and personalized care to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life.

Rehabilitation is not only about recovery?it also helps patients regain independence in daily life, prevent future injuries, and return to work, sports, or social activities.

Modern rehabilitation integrates evidence-based practices, robotics, computer-assisted devices, virtual reality therapy, hydrotherapy, and electrotherapy alongside traditional methods like exercise, massage, and manual therapy.

Advanced Treatment Methods

Depending on the patient?s needs, physical therapy may include:

• Manual Therapy ; Massage: Improves circulation, relaxes muscles, and reduces stiffness.
  
  
• Thermotherapy ; Cryotherapy: Heat (infrared, paraffin baths, hot packs) or cold (ice packs, cooling sprays) applications to reduce inflammation and pain.
  
  
• Electrotherapy: Direct and alternating currents to stimulate nerves and muscles, reduce pain, and improve healing.
  
  
• Ultrasound ; Laser Therapy: Promotes tissue repair and decreases pain in musculoskeletal injuries.
  
  
• Hydrotherapy: Thermal pools, whirlpool baths, and water exercises to reduce joint load and support recovery.
  
  
• Robotics ; Virtual Reality (VR): Cutting-edge rehabilitation technologies used for stroke, spinal cord injuries, and neurological conditions.
  
  
• Exercise ; Rehabilitation Programs: Tailored strengthening, stretching, and mobility exercises for long-term recovery.
