General Information
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is a branch of medicine that includes the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diseases that cause temporary or permanent dysfunctions. It aims to restore and improve the lost movements and functions of people who experience disability as a result of diseases and injuries to the best possible level.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialists diagnose, manage the treatment process and then prescribe the treatments to be applied by physiotherapists. In this process that requires teamwork, the common goal of the physician and physiotherapist is to maximise the physical, psychological, social and professional potential of patients with pain, weakness, sensory loss and loss of function.
