A physiotherapist is a healthcare professional trained to provide physiotherapy and rehabilitation for congenital or acquired diseases, disorders, or injuries, as well as to conduct preventive physiotherapy applications within the scope of health protection and improvement. In this context, physiotherapists are experts who use contemporary assessment and measurement methods to determine the physiotherapy and rehabilitation needs of individuals, and who plan and implement personalized physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs.
In line with their professional training, physiotherapists adopt preventive, corrective, and developmental approaches, considering the holistic needs of patients, their families, healthy individuals, and society. Accordingly, improving quality of life and promoting sustainable health constitute their fundamental professional vision.
Established in 2013 with a current and evidence-based educational approach, Bahçeşehir University's Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department aims to train competent physiotherapists who embrace universal ethical and scientific values, are researchers, innovators, and possess a high sense of professional responsibility. Our department aims to contribute to the development of health sciences through scientific research, with its strong academic staff and practice-oriented education model.
In line with this goal, the department has a comprehensive laboratory infrastructure to enable our students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice. Educational and research activities are carried out in a total of seven laboratories: two physiotherapy and rehabilitation practice laboratories, one electrotherapy and physical modalities laboratory, two biomechanics and kinesiology laboratories, one virtual reality laboratory, and one anatomy laboratory. These laboratories actively serve the development of clinical skills, measurement and evaluation processes, and scientific research at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
