WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY?
Physical Therapy (Physical Medicine); heat, radiation, electric currents, exercise, etc., which can be applied alone or together with other treatments in various diseases. are the treatment methods in which physical agents and techniques are used. Although they are quite effective if used correctly, they can also produce serious undesirable effects. Therefore, they should be used under the supervision of a doctor.
What is Rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation means restoring, repairing, restoring. It is the work done for the sick and disabled to continue their social, occupational and physiological life and to gain their maximal potential. In other words, it is the treatment and applications made to gain the physical, mental, social and economic independence of the sick and disabled.
Who is a Physical Therapist and What is Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialization?
A physical therapist (physiatrist) is a physician who has specialized training in physical medicine and rehabilitation. In order to become a physical therapist, it is necessary to receive 4 years of physical medicine and rehabilitation specialization training after 6 years of medical education. This specialization training is given in almost all medical faculties, state and SSK hospitals.
FTR physicians are the only doctors who offer physical treatment methods (exercise, physical therapy agents, etc.) to their patients in addition to all drug treatments, and aim to improve their quality of life by rehabilitating them, thus approaching musculoskeletal involvement as a whole with all its causes and consequences. physician group.

OUR APPLICATIONS IN PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINIC IN OUR HOSPITAL:
Joint disorders that increase with the prolongation of human life, fracture forms as a result of accidents and trauma, and some congenital diseases increase the importance of physical therapy and rehabilitation.
The fully equipped Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Clinic of our hospital serves inpatients and outpatients. In our hospital, which has an intensive Cardiovascular Surgery Service, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation is an indispensable complement to the treatment. Similarly, patients are rehabilitated under the supervision of a physiotherapist before and after joint prosthesis and arthroscopic ligament repair operations, which are intensively performed in our hospital.
Short wave, ultrasound, cold pack, hot pack, vacuum interference, tens, diadynamic currents, infrared, electrical stimulation, traction, knee CPM (continuos passive motion), paraffin, massage, galvanic current and instrumented exercise programs after the physical therapist's examination, physiotherapists implemented by.
Some of the diseases and patient groups treated in our unit:
Treatment of low back and neck hernia / Rehabilitation of patients with paralysis / Meniscus treatment / Rehabilitation of patients with knee - hip prosthesis
Rehabilitation before and after ligament repair / Hand rehabilitation / Rehabilitation of disorders caused by acute trauma
Arthrosis (calcification) treatment / Treatment of rheumatic and degenerative diseases / Rehabilitation of facial paralysis / Rehabilitation after sports injuries / MS rehabilitation / Parkinson's rehabilitation / Rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord paralysis / Fracture rehabilitation / Scoliosis rehabilitation
