Clinical focus

Munise Nilay Güven works within physical medicine and rehabilitation, where physiotherapy is used to help patients regain movement and function after illness, injury or a period of reduced activity. Her listed areas of expertise are physiotherapy, physical medicine and rehabilitation, mobility improvement, functional recovery and rehabilitation support. In practice, this generally involves assessing how a patient moves, identifying limitations in mobility or day-to-day function, and carrying out a rehabilitation program tailored to the individual. Progress is reviewed over the course of treatment, and the program is adjusted as the patient’s condition and goals change.

Rehabilitation support of this kind is often one part of a wider treatment plan that is coordinated with the physicians responsible for a patient’s medical care. The scope and duration of physiotherapy vary from person to person and depend on the underlying condition, the patient’s general health and the goals agreed at the start of treatment.

How Munise Nilay Güven works with international patients

Munise Nilay Güven speaks Turkish and English, so patients can be understood in either language, 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 itself. 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. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a patient abroad to speak with Munise Nilay Güven before deciding whether to travel. Any recommendation on rehabilitation is made after this initial review and, where needed, further assessment in person.
