Türkü Düzel, Physiotherapist

Türkü Düzel is a physiotherapist (Fzt.) at Acibadem Kartal Hospital in İstanbul, where she works within the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation unit. She completed her degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Okan University in 2024. Her professional work is centered on physical medicine and rehabilitation, with a particular focus on the treatment of pelvic pain, an area of rehabilitation that calls for careful assessment and a sensitive, individualized approach to each patient’s condition and goals.

As part of the multidisciplinary rehabilitation team at Kartal Hospital, Türkü Düzel contributes to treatment programs designed around each patient’s diagnosis, functional needs and progress. She coordinates her work with the physicians overseeing the patient’s care, so that the physiotherapy component of treatment remains aligned with the overall medical plan and can be adjusted as the patient’s condition changes over time.

Clinical focus

Türkü Düzel’s clinical work covers physical medicine and rehabilitation, physiotherapy and the treatment of pelvic pain. Pelvic pain can affect daily activities, comfort and quality of life, and its management usually begins with a detailed assessment of the patient’s symptoms, history and functional limitations. On this basis, a rehabilitation program is planned around the individual, with therapy sessions and exercise guidance intended to support gradual improvement. Because pelvic pain is often a sensitive matter for patients, her approach places emphasis on clear communication and on respecting each patient’s comfort throughout the process.

Within the wider Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation unit, she supports patients through their treatment plan with clear guidance on exercises and therapy sessions, helping them work steadily toward improved comfort, mobility and function. Progress is reviewed as treatment continues, and the program is adapted in coordination with the treating physicians according to how the patient responds. Patients are encouraged to raise questions about their exercises and to report any changes in their symptoms so that the plan can be refined appropriately.

How Türkü Düzel works with international patients

Türkü Düzel works 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, including MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, arranges appointments and organizes 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, after which a rehabilitation plan can be outlined in coordination with the responsible physicians. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation before traveling or to follow up on their rehabilitation program from home. Throughout treatment at Kartal Hospital, international patients can expect a structured, patient-centered rehabilitation process with clear explanations of each step.
