Physiotherapist Emrah Tüfekçi discusses role of physiotherapy
In observance of World Physiotherapy Day on September 8, physiotherapist Emrah Tüfekçi of Sivas Numune Hospital highlighted the comprehensive nature of the profession. He emphasized that physiotherapy extends beyond simple exercises, serving as a health profession focused on evaluating, improving, and preserving movement and function to enhance an individual's quality of life.
Tüfekçi noted that physiotherapists operate across diverse clinical areas, including musculoskeletal issues, neurological diseases, orthopedic rehabilitation, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. The primary objective is to assist patients in regaining independence and participating actively in daily life, rather than merely reducing pain.
The scope of services includes outpatient rehabilitation, where therapists work one-on-one with patients to improve functional adaptation, and inpatient rehabilitation. For hospitalized patients, particularly those who are bedridden, maintaining mobility and muscle strength is critical to the recovery process, which often continues after hospital discharge. Additionally, modern technological advancements are increasingly being integrated into rehabilitation methods.
