What is Physical Therapy?

These are the treatment methods using physical agents and
techniques such as heat, radiation, electric currents, exercise that can be
applied alone or in combination with other treatment methods in various
diseases including musculoskeletal diseases, neurological diseases,
rheumatological diseases. After the examination, the x-ray and laboratory
findings of the patient are evaluated together and a special physical therapy
program is organized for each patient. It is very important to establish
