Neurological Rehabilitation is the most specific and arduous branch of physiotherapy applied to regain the loss of movement, sensation, balance, and coordination resulting from diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. In conditions such as Stroke (Paralysis), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord paralysis, it goes beyond classic muscle exercises and directly targets "reprogramming the brain and nervous system".

The human brain has a miraculous "Neuroplasticity" ability, such as transferring the duties of damaged areas to healthy cells. Wellness Studio experts stimulate this ability of the brain by applying internationally valid special neurological concepts such as Bobath (NDT) and PNF. They enable the patient to relearn "movement itself", not just their muscles. The goal is not just to stand up, but to become independent in the most accurate and functional way, avoiding asymmetric posture.

Neurological disorders deeply affect not only the patient but the entire family. With this awareness, in our "Home Physical Therapy" sessions in our Pendik center and surrounding districts (Kadıköy, Maltepe, Kartal), we not only treat the patient; we also increase the quality of life of the whole family by providing in-bed positioning, safe transfer, and fall prevention training to the relatives providing home care.

Who Is This Service For?

  • Those who have had a Stroke (Paralysis / Hemiplegia) and have a loss of movement and sensation in half of their body
  • Those diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, suffering from tremors, freezing, and walking difficulties
  • Those experiencing loss of balance, fatigue, and muscle weakness due to Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Those who have become wheelchair-bound after a spinal cord injury (Paraplegia/Tetraplegia)
  • Those trying to regain their motor and cognitive skills after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • Those with peripheral nerve cuts or entrapment neuropathies (e.g., drop foot, drop hand)
  • Those with asymmetry and loss of function in facial muscles after facial paralysis
  • Individuals experiencing neurologically originated swallowing (dysphagia) and speech difficulties

How Is It Applied?

01

Detailed Neurological Assessment

Muscle tone (spasticity/flaccidity), reflexes, sensory loss, balance, coordination, and the patient's current independence level are tested in detail with international scales.

02

Neuroplasticity and Motor Learning

By applying internationally recognized neurological concepts such as Bobath (NDT), PNF, and Brunnstrom, the undamaged parts of the brain are triggered to learn new pathways (Neuroplasticity).

03

Tone Regulation and Spasticity Management

Special positioning, stretching, and weight transfer exercises are performed to reduce excessive contractions (spasticity) that develop after a stroke and to prevent joint stiffness.

04

Balance and Gait Training

Progressive balance and coordination training is provided, starting from sitting balance to standing up, walking on parallel bars, and finally independent walking phases.

05

Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Family Training

The goal is for the patient to be able to eat, dress, and go to the toilet on their own. Family members providing home care are taught transfer techniques (moving to bed/chair).

Nörolojik Tedavinin Faydaları

Relearning of lost movements by healthy brain cells using the brain's "Neuroplasticity" ability
Preventing the development of spasticity (muscle stiffness) and stopping permanent joint deformities that may occur in the future
Preventing dangerous falls and new fractures by improving walking and balance functions
Minimizing the patient's dependence on bed or wheelchair
Providing significant improvements in bowel and bladder functions (toilet control)
Reducing the risk of infection by increasing the patient's lung capacity with breathing exercises
Preventing pressure (bed) sores that may occur due to lying down for a long time
Eliminating the risk of psychological breakdown (depression) by ensuring the patient's reintegration into social life

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a patient who has had a stroke start physical therapy?
Rehabilitation should be started with passive movements in the intensive care or ward room immediately after the neurologist confirms that the life-threatening (acute period) has passed (usually within the first 48-72 hours). The first 6 months is the "golden age"; the brain's rate of learning new things (neuroplasticity) is highest during this period.
Does treatment work for a patient who had a stroke years ago?
Yes. Although not as fast as in the first 6 months, the brain has a lifelong learning capacity (neuroplasticity). Even if years have passed, with correct neurological rehabilitation, contractions can be reduced, walking quality can be increased, and the patient's independence level in daily life can definitely be improved.
What is the importance of exercise in Parkinson's patients?
While drug therapy replaces missing dopamine in Parkinson's patients, physiotherapy prevents the body from "forgetting" to move. Special Parkinson's exercises performed with large and rhythmic movements dissolve stiffness (rigidity) in muscles, reduce freezing moments while walking, and extend the patient's independent walking time for years.
Do you have a Home Physical Therapy (Home Care) service?
Most of our neurological patients have great difficulty transferring to the clinic. For this reason, as Wellness Studio, we provide "Neurological Rehabilitation at Home" services in Pendik, Kadıköy, Maltepe, Kartal, Ümraniye, and Tuzla regions. We continue the treatment of our patient in the comfort of their home until they reach a level where they can travel by car.
Can the drop foot problem be corrected?
It depends on the extent of nerve damage. Serious recoveries are achieved in drop foot syndrome with specific stimulating exercises accompanied by a physiotherapist, electrotherapy agents (NMES), and kinesio taping applications; if necessary, the patient is enabled to walk without stumbling with supporting devices such as AFO.
