Physiotherapists work with individuals of all ages, from infants to the elderly, and treat a wide range of conditions.

They also assist in post-operative rehabilitation, helping patients recover from surgery.

The role of a füsioterapeudiks involves assessing a patient's condition, diagnosing the problem, and developing a personalized treatment plan. This plan often includes specific exercises, stretching, and other therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual's needs. Education is also a key component, empowering patients to manage their condition and prevent future injuries.

They must also be registered with the relevant professional body to practice. The profession is regulated to ensure high standards of care and patient safety. Füsioterapeudiks contribute significantly to public health by improving quality of life and enabling individuals to return to their daily activities.
