Physiotherapy Doctors
Physiotherapy is a preventive and therapeutic method that uses various physical factors to treat diseases. It involves using natural factors for healing. This method is generally painless, does not cause allergic reactions, and has no side effects. However, some conditions may have contraindications, so consultation with a doctor before treatment is essential.
Physiotherapy is an integral part of rehabilitation after severe trauma and in chronic inflammatory processes. It can be applied to the whole body or specific areas. The choice of procedure depends on the patient’s age and the severity of the disease.
Some conditions can be treated with physiotherapy, potentially avoiding surgical intervention. At Medera Hospital, our physiotherapy specialists are trained in leading medical institutions worldwide and have completed extensive professional development courses. Treatments are performed according to clinical protocols, using modern physiotherapy methods. Only after this stage is a complete and accurate treatment plan determined.
The main goal of our Physiotherapy Department is to identify, enhance, and normalize patients’ physical potential based on their pathology and to help them return to social life with individualized care. Physiotherapy combines biology, physics, chemistry, electro-radiotechnology, biophysics, biochemistry, and spa therapy. It is considered one of the safest therapeutic methods today.
Key Considerations in Physiotherapy
During treatment, all aspects must be considered:
- Name of the disease
- Severity and history of the disease
- Patient’s age and sex
- Patient’s physical and psychological characteristics
- Patient’s place of residence
Special attention is given to gynecological, urological, and sexually transmitted disease patients, as well as pregnant women and young children. Physiotherapy accelerates recovery and rarely causes complications. Exercise therapy, massage, and various manual techniques (vibration, cupping, circular, tapping, etc.) are applied to improve healing.
Physiotherapy Methods
- Air baths
