Clinical focus

The core of Mustafa Özcan’s work is rehabilitation: helping patients regain mobility, strength and everyday function after injury, surgery or illness, or in the presence of a longer-term condition. In a rehabilitation setting, care usually begins with an assessment of the patient’s current physical status and goals, after which an individual program is planned and adjusted over time as the patient’s condition changes. Progress is reviewed at regular intervals, and the plan is adapted to what the patient can tolerate and achieve at each stage.

Within this framework, Mustafa Özcan provides physical therapy and recovery care. Physical therapy typically involves supervised therapeutic exercise, manual techniques and guidance on movement and posture, with the aim of reducing pain, improving joint range of motion and restoring function. Recovery care refers to the period of structured follow-up that supports a patient’s return to daily activities, and it is planned in coordination with the treating medical team. Expectations are discussed openly, since the pace and extent of recovery depend on the underlying condition, the patient’s general health and the consistency of participation in the program. General information on related services on this site, such as robotic rehabilitation and osteoarthritis treatment, is available separately.

How Mustafa Özcan works with international patients

Mustafa Özcan communicates with patients in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for other languages. 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 organises 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, including how a rehabilitation or physical therapy program might be structured. Video consultation is available for international patients, which allows a preliminary discussion of the case before any travel is planned; a full assessment of physical function is generally carried out in person.
