Ceren Keser, Physiotherapist

Ceren Keser is a physiotherapist in the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation unit at Acibadem Dr. Sinasi Can (Kadikoy) Hospital in İstanbul. Her work is centered on rehabilitation, with a subspecialty focus on the treatment of movement disorders. Her clinical interests include sports injuries, knee injuries, frozen shoulder syndrome, and lumbar and cervical disc herniation. She has more than seven years of experience in medicine and works with both local and international patients.

She graduated from Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University Faculty of Health Sciences in 2019. Since 2021, she has been part of Acıbadem Healthcare Services, where she practices in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Her role involves assessing movement-related complaints, planning rehabilitation programs and following patients through the course of their treatment.

Clinical focus

A significant part of Ceren Keser’s practice involves movement disorders treatment. Patients with movement-related difficulties are assessed in terms of their functional abilities, mobility and everyday limitations, and rehabilitation is planned around the individual condition and the patient’s own functional goals. The emphasis is on a structured, gradual approach in which progress is reviewed over time and the program is adjusted as needed.

She also works with patients who have sports injuries and knee injuries, where rehabilitation may address pain, range of motion, strength and the return to daily or athletic activity. Frozen shoulder syndrome is another condition within her area of expertise; this typically involves stiffness and restricted shoulder movement that develops over time, and physiotherapy focuses on restoring mobility within the limits of what is comfortable and safe for the patient. In addition, she sees patients with lumbar disc herniation and cervical disc herniation, conditions that can cause back or neck pain and, in some cases, symptoms radiating to the limbs. Rehabilitation in these cases is planned according to the findings of the clinical examination and any existing imaging, and is reviewed as the patient’s condition changes.

How Ceren Keser works with international patients

Ceren Keser speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the hospital’s international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the organization of the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options that may be appropriate. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling or to follow up after treatment.
