Murat Elmas, Physiotherapist

Murat Elmas is a physiotherapist working at Acibadem Kartal Hospital in İstanbul, where he is part of the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation unit. He completed his training in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Rumeli University in 2023 and has more than three years of experience in the field. His work centers on physiotherapy and rehabilitation, with a particular clinical focus on the treatment of pelvic pain.

Within the rehabilitation team at the hospital, Murat Elmas collaborates with physicians and other specialists to plan and deliver physiotherapy care. Rehabilitation is rarely a single intervention; it usually unfolds over a series of sessions in which the therapist evaluates the patient, sets goals together with them, guides exercises and manual techniques, and reviews progress. He follows each patient’s course over time and adjusts the program as recovery advances, so that the treatment remains matched to the person’s changing needs and daily routine.

Clinical focus

The main areas of his practice are physical medicine and rehabilitation, physiotherapy and the treatment of pelvic pain. Pelvic pain can have several contributing factors and often affects everyday activities, so it calls for careful assessment, clear patient education and an individually tailored therapy program. In this setting the physiotherapist typically takes a detailed history, examines movement, posture and muscle function, and then builds a plan that may combine supervised exercises, guidance for home practice and regular reassessment. Because pelvic pain is frequently managed by more than one specialty, physiotherapy is delivered in coordination with the treating physicians, and the plan is revised as symptoms change.

More broadly, physiotherapy within a physical medicine and rehabilitation unit supports patients with a range of musculoskeletal and neurological complaints. General information about related rehabilitation topics, such as osteoarthritis treatment and movement disorders treatment, is available on this site; whether a particular program is suitable for an individual patient is decided after clinical evaluation.

How Murat Elmas works with international patients

Murat Elmas speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer another language. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, for example 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 available options and the proposed rehabilitation plan. Video consultation is available for international patients, which may be used for an initial discussion or for follow-up during a rehabilitation program at Acibadem Kartal Hospital. Throughout treatment, patients can expect a structured and respectful approach, with clear explanations of each step and consistent guidance through exercises and treatment sessions.
