Physical therapy and rehabilitation is a comprehensive unit that deals with diseases of the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular systems that cause physical limitation and dysfunction. The aim is to restore impaired functions, reduce pain, and ensure a fast, comfortable and successful post-operative recovery process. Non-surgical treatment of many muscle and bone-related diseases is performed in this unit. Treatment methods vary from person to person.
Physical therapy unit consists of physical therapy and rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists and physiotherapy technicians. They identify problems, prepare and implement a treatment plan in order to regulate people’s physical activities and improve their mobility.
In physical therapy, deep tissue massage and hot and cold treatments are generally applied. Deep tissue massage deals with muscle strains such as sprains. It is done to increase blood circulation and improve movements. Hot and cold treatments are aimed at reducing inflammation and pain. Heat therapy increases blood flow and increases oxygen levels in the area. Cold therapy slows down circulation.
Which Diseases Does Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Treat?
Orthopedic rehabilitation: Treats many diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The aim of orthopedic rehabilitation is to relieve muscle and joint stiffness, maximize the patient’s movements and restore normal activity level.
- Treatment of meniscus, anterior cruciate ligament, lateral cruciate ligament and tendon injuries
- Rehabilitation after arthroscopy surgeries (Shoulder, hip, meniscus, ligament injury surgeries…)
- Muscle tears
- Rehabilitation after fracture and dislocation
- Joint arthritis
- Rehabilitation after prosthesis surgery
- Scoliosis
Rheumatologic rehabilitation: Physiotherapy applications to alleviate the symptoms and maintain the quality of life of people diagnosed with rheumatologic diseases. Joint stiffness, swelling or deformity are some of the symptoms.
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Knee pain
- Shoulder pain
- Soft tissue rheumatism (fibromyalgia)
- Osteoporosis (osteoporosis)
- Tendonitis

Injection Applications in Physical Therapy
Injection methods are frequently used in non-surgical treatments of orthopedic diseases. PRP, stem cell, ozone therapy, cortisone, intra-articular lubricant injections are examples of these methods. The procedures generally aim to regenerate tissues, relieve pain and stop or slow down the wearing structures.
PRP Treatment in Orthopedic Diseases
PRP stands for platelet rich plasma; that is, platelet rich plasma. It is based on separating the healing platelets in our blood cells and injecting them into the damaged area. The blood taken from the person’s arm is centrifuged and the cells are separated into layers. The part necessary for healing is taken into the injector and injected into the muscle, tendon, joint and tissue repair is provided. PRP treatment can be preferred in orthopedic diseases such as knee, hip, shoulder, wrist and ankle arthritis, ligament and muscle tears, meniscus damage, tennis elbow and heel spurs.
Ozone Therapy in Orthopedic Diseases
Ozone gas is a colorless gas composed of 3 oxygen atoms. Oxygen deprivation of tissues and the inability to remove toxic substances from the body are very effective in the formation of chronic diseases. With ozone therapy, oxygen is supplied to the tissues and harmful toxins are removed from the body. Ozone therapy can be used both to prevent diseases and in the treatment of existing diseases. Ozone therapy can be added to the treatment of diseases such as cervical hernia, lumbar hernia, joint calcifications, meniscus injuries, fibromyalgia (chronic fatigue), restless leg syndrome.
