There is no certain season of applying physical treatment. There is a common and wrong belief that; physical treatment applied in winter time shall not be beneficial. Besides, the pains will increase after this treatment. However, very hot temperatures are not applied in physical treatment. Only temperatures to affect deep tissues and electric currents are used. To conduct these applications in cold weather is more beneficial. Because, rheumatismal complaints increase in winter period. Postponing the treatment is no more than having the winter in pain. In summer time on the other hand, the complaints will reduce comparatively. There is no need for extra protection after physical treatment in winter period. It is enough if you give 15 minutes break after the treatment and leave our centre with a normal protection. 

Majority of musculoskeletal system diseases included in the field of physical treatment derive from; poor posture, dormant life, excessive weight or mechanical problems caused by wrong use of bones – joints – muscles. Physical treatment applications; remove musculoskeletal system pains, accelerate healing at problematic tissues and by the means of exercise, massages and education programs that are additionally applied; the person can obtain a healthy musculoskeletal system. There are significant responsibilities for the patient in order to maintain a stable effect. Practicing the exercise programs as a whole, learning how to use the body correctly as well as physicians and physiotherapists having appropriate educations will improve effectiveness and permanence of the treatment received. In some chronic rheumatismal diseases and rehabilitation diseases, the applications are for protecting the current potential of musculoskeletal system and improve quality of life. The objective here is protection of life quality rather than absolute healing.

The most common diseases to perplex patient’s mind is hernia of waist and neck and prosthesis application at arthrolith. In hernia of waist and neck, there is a chance of 90 / 95 % success. The cases where operation is needed are 5-7 %. There are two operation criterion accepted in all around the world. The first one is muscular weakness detected by the physician. Weakness can occur due to nerves brimming (by herniating) through the spine into legs at waist and into arms at neck by putting pressure on the nerves. However, the first symptom of pressure on nerves is not weakness but pain. Majority of this pain can be cured by physical treatment and exercise programs. Muscular weakness appears at the further stages. When this weakness is determined by the physician and if it is progressing, surgical operation is necessary to save the nerve under pressure. More tragic type of this pressure occurs when hernia doesn’t put pressure on nerve beam but the spine itself. This case becomes apparent by urinary incontinence and it requires Emergency surgery. The second case that continues more than 3 months which is not resolved by surgical intervention is a case that reduces life quality with pain. Prosthesis applications at arthrolith are applied mainly at knee and hip joints and it is the last method to apply. If a patient is able to continue the daily life without assistance of others and has a walking distance not less than some hundred metersİ this person will benefit from physical treatment applications. If walking distance of the patient is less than some hundred meters, application of prosthesis will improve the life quality of this person. However, before and after this application, rehabilitation programs shall be applied.

No physical treatment application includes radiation. It includes applications such as; surficial or deep types of heat, electric currents in millivolts which are the least measured voltages that do not damage the body, massage and exercise.

As physical treatment includes applications such as; surficial or deep types of heat, electric currents in millivolts which are the least measured voltages that do not damage the body, massage and exercise, there are some point to be careful about rather than side effects. For instance, we can’t apply; applications with electric currents to patients with cardiac pacemaker, heat and electric applications to patients with sense loss or ultrasound applications in patients having metal prosthesis in treatment zones or patients with osteoporosis.

They are the body of treatments that are applied to re-obtain the functions of the body wholly or at maximum levels at patients who become disabled for any reason and reintroduce them to the society. The objective is to obtain as much independence as possible in physical, emotional, financial and social fields to; disabled, handicapped or for those who lost their freedom of function due to any reason. Patient compatible extensive rehabilitation program will reduce duration of dependence to bed or others and improve life quality.

It is applied by the therapists under the control of physical treatment experts.
