Gizem Erbil, Physiotherapist

Gizem Erbil is a physiotherapist working in the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation unit at Acibadem Eskisehir Hospital in Eskişehir. Her clinical focus includes pediatric rehabilitation and spine health, and she has more than six years of experience in the field.

She graduated from Celal Bayar University Faculty of Health Sciences in 2020. After graduating, she worked at Fizyomer from 2020 to 2021 and joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services in 2021, where she has continued her work in physical medicine and rehabilitation. She speaks Turkish and English.

Clinical focus

Gizem Erbil’s work centers on two areas of rehabilitation. The first is pediatric rehabilitation, which involves the assessment of children with movement, posture or functional difficulties and the planning of therapy programs adapted to the child’s age, developmental stage and daily needs. Family involvement is generally part of this process, and treatment plans are reviewed over time as the child’s abilities change. Further general information on this type of care is available on the pediatric physical therapy page.

The second area is spine health. In this field, a physiotherapist evaluates posture, mobility, muscle strength and movement patterns related to the neck and back, and works with the patient on an exercise-based program aimed at maintaining or improving function. The specific approach depends on the individual assessment and, where relevant, on the findings and recommendations of the referring physician. Rehabilitation plans are individualized, and the expected course of therapy can vary from patient to patient.

How Gizem Erbil works with international patients

Gizem Erbil communicates with patients in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination of posture, movement and function, and a discussion of the rehabilitation options that may be appropriate. For pediatric patients, this discussion usually includes the parents or caregivers. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation or review their records before deciding whether to travel; in rehabilitation, however, a hands-on physical assessment is often needed before a full therapy plan can be set out, so a video consultation is generally a preliminary step rather than a replacement for an in-person evaluation.
