PHYSICAL THERAPY AND REHABILITATION IS A BRANCH OF MEDICINE THAT AIMS TO MAXIMIZE THE CURRENT CAPACITIES OF PHYSICALLY DISABLED PEOPLE WITH VARIOUS DEVICES AND EXERCISES, REDUCE THEIR DEPENDENCE AND IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE.
FTR EXPERT; IT DIAGNOSES AND REGULATES THE TREATMENT OF MUSCLE, SKELETAL AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES THAT CAUSE PAIN, LIMITATION OF MOVEMENT, SWELLING, WEAKNESS AND NUMBER. WHEN DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASES, IT PERFORMS DETAILED MUSCLE, SKELETAL AND NERVOUS SYSTEM EXAMINATION. ACCORDING TO THE EXAMINATION FINDINGS, THEY REQUIRE LABORATORY (BLOOD ANALYSIS, ETC.), X-RAY, TOMOGRAPHY, MRI (EMAR), EMG, BONE MEASUREMENT, ETC. IT REGULATES TREATMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIAGNOSIS MADE ACCORDING TO EXAMINATION FINDINGS AND EXAMINATION RESULTS. PHYSICAL THERAPY IS CARRIED OUT BY TRAINED HEALTH PERSONNEL. REHABILITATION IS APPLIED BY PHYSIOTHERAPISTS. OUR PHYSICAL THERAPY AND REHABILITATION UNIT IN OUR HOSPITAL HAS A CAPACITY THAT CAN TREAT 10 PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME.
IT IS TO REDUCE THE PATIENT’S PAIN, CORRECT THEIR FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS (SUCH AS LOSS OF MUSCLE STRENGTH, LIMITATION OF JOINT MOVEMENT, GAIT DISORDER, BALANCE DISORDER), AND RELIEVE DISABILITY THAT DEVELOPS AFTER DISEASE AND INJURY.
PAIN RELIEF AND MUSCLE STRENGTHENING ELECTRIC CURRENTS (TENS, IFA, GALVANI, FARADI, ELECTRICAL STIMULATION ETC.)
SUPERFICIAL HEAT (HOT PACKAGE, PARAFFINE BATH, MEVZİ ZİYA BATH, INFRARUG)
DEEP HEATERS (ULTRASOUND, SHORT WAVE)
COLD APPLICATION (COLD PACKAGE)
SWIRL BATH
NECK AND WAIST TRACTION
JOBS
LASER
MASSAGE
ESWT
THEY ARE VARIOUS THERAPEUTIC EXERCISES.
IT VARIES DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION OF THE DISEASE AND THE PATIENT, AND IT USUALLY TAKES 60 MINUTES. TOTAL TREATMENT TIME IS USUALLY 15-30 SESSIONS.
PARALYSIS (BRAIN-VASCULAR DISEASES, SPINAL CORD INJURY, BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURY, DISEASES THAT CAUSE WEAKNESS IN THE ARMS AND LEG SUCH AS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, FACIAL PARALYSIS, ETC.)
PARKINSON
CEREBRAL PALSY
LYMPH EDEMA (COMMON ARM OR LEG SWELLING THAT DEVELOPS AFTER BREAST OR LOWER ABDOMINAL OPERATIONS)
NERVE COMPRESSION (CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME, ETC.)
BEFORE AND AFTER HIP AND KNEE PROSTHESIS OPERATION
AFTER FRACTURE
MENISCUS, ANTERIOR-POSTER CRUCIAL LIGAMENT INJURIES, BEFORE AND AFTER REPAIR
MUSCLE, TENDON, LIGAMENT AND NERVE INJURIES, BEFORE AND AFTER REPAIR
AFTER SPORTS INJURY
WAIST-NECK HERNIA ETC. SPINE DISORDER
INFLAMMABLE JOINT DISEASES (RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, ANKYLOSING SPONDILITIS ETC.)

DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASES (CALCIFICATION)
OSTEOPOROSIS (BONE DISSOLTION) ETC.
POSTURE DISORDERS
ON CANCER AREAS, ON INFECTED (INFLAMMATORY) LESIONS, ON AREAS THAT HAVE A TENDENCY TO BLEED, ON VARIOUS VASCULAR DISORDERS (ON THROMBOTIC AREAS SUCH AS THROMBOPHLEBITIS), ON THE CHEST AREA IN THOSE WITH PACEMAKERS, ON THE PREGNANCY PERIOD. ESPECIALLY THE FIRST 3 MONTHS AND THE ABDOMEN AREA. IT SHOULD NOT BE APPLIED TO THE NECK AREA IN EPILEPSY.
IT RELAXES MUSCLE AND SOFT TISSUES IN THE TREATED AREA, INCREASES BLOOD CIRCULATION AND TISSUE NUTRITION, SOLVES MUSCLE SPASMS, REGRESSES EDEMA, REDUCES PAIN, REDUCES JOINT HARDNESS, STRENGTHENS WEAK MUSCLE. Thus, it enables the recovery of joint movement limitations in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot due to various reasons.
RARELY, ALLERGIC REACTION MAY DEVELOP UNDER ELECTRODES APPLIED TO THE SKIN. ELECTRODES MUST BE REPLACED IN LONG-TERM APPLICATIONS. THERE IS A LOW RISK OF BURNS IN SOME TREATMENTS. ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE SENSORY (FEELING) PROBLEMS SHOULD BE TREATED CAREFULLY. PROVIDED THE APPROPRIATE PATIENT IS SELECTED FOR TREATMENT, THERE IS NEARLY ANY HARMFUL EFFECT.
