What orthopaedic rehabilitation covers
Orthopaedic rehabilitation aims to restore movement, strength and daily function after an operation, a fracture or a long-term joint problem. It is led by a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor or an orthopaedic surgeon, with physiotherapists who carry out the exercises and hands-on treatment. This category lists several services: inpatient orthopaedic rehabilitation programmes charged per day, physiotherapy, general orthopaedic rehabilitation, rehabilitation for patients with arthritis, and training on an anti-gravity treadmill. For the wider list, see Rehabilitation treatments in Turkey.
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation in Turkey
How the options differ
Inpatient programmes
An inpatient programme, often priced per day, means you stay in the hospital or a rehabilitation unit and have several therapy sessions daily, with medical supervision and nursing. It suits people who cannot manage alone, who need close monitoring, or who live far from regular outpatient care, for example after joint replacement, spinal surgery or a major fracture.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy uses exercise, manual techniques and sometimes devices such as electrical stimulation or ultrasound to treat pain, stiffness and weakness. It can be done as outpatient sessions during a stay in the city, and is often the core of any programme. Our page on physiotherapy explains this in more detail.
Arthritis rehabilitation
For arthritis, rehabilitation focuses on protecting joints, keeping movement, building muscle support and teaching pacing and daily strategies. It does not replace medical treatment from a rheumatologist, but works alongside it.
Anti-gravity treadmill
An anti-gravity treadmill uses air pressure in a sealed chamber around the lower body to reduce the weight you carry while walking or running. This lets people begin gait training earlier and with less pain after some injuries or operations. It is one tool among many, not a treatment on its own.
Who it is for and how to choose
Ask your surgeon or doctor first which kind of rehabilitation you need and when it should start, because timing after surgery matters and protocols differ. If you need round-the-clock care or have other health problems, an inpatient programme is safer. If you are mobile and mainly need exercise and guidance, outpatient physiotherapy may be enough. For a long-term joint condition, look for a team that sets measurable goals, adjusts the exercise to your condition and teaches you a home programme you can continue.
- Ask what goals the programme sets and how progress is measured.
- Ask how many therapy hours a day or week are planned.
- Ask whether your own surgeon's protocol will be followed.
What the trip and recovery look like
A rehabilitation stay lasts from a week or two to longer, depending on the problem and the programme. Travel needs planning if you have limited mobility: ask about assisted transfers, a wheelchair-accessible room and whether a companion may stay. Progress is gradual, tiring days are normal, and results depend on continuing the exercises at home. Before you leave, ask for a written summary, a home exercise plan and the name of someone you can contact with questions.
What affects the price
The cost depends on whether the programme is inpatient or outpatient, the number of days and sessions, the type of therapy and equipment used, doctor visits, nursing, the room and meals. Equipment-based sessions such as the treadmill may be priced separately. Ask what a day includes and what is extra, and check how the quote changes if you need to stay longer.
How to check a hospital and a team
Ask who leads the programme and what their speciality is, how many physiotherapists work with each patient, and whether the unit has experience with your condition. Ask about the facilities, such as a hydrotherapy pool or gym, and how they are used. A dependable team explains a realistic timeline and records your progress, and welcomes contact with your surgeon at home.

Frequently asked questions
It is a programme of exercise, manual therapy and medical supervision that helps you recover movement, strength and daily function after surgery, injury or joint disease. It is led by a rehabilitation doctor or orthopaedic surgeon and carried out by physiotherapists.
Inpatient care suits people who need daily medical supervision, nursing or several sessions a day. Outpatient physiotherapy suits those who can manage independently. Your surgeon or rehabilitation doctor can advise which one fits your situation.
It depends on the operation and your surgeon's protocol, so ask before you book. Some programmes begin within days, others after a few weeks. Send the operation report so the rehabilitation team can follow the same plan.
It is a treadmill inside a sealed chamber that uses air pressure to reduce your effective body weight. This lets you walk or run with less load on the joints, which can help early gait training after some injuries or operations.
It can help you keep movement, strengthen the muscles around the joints and manage daily activities. It does not replace the medical treatment from your rheumatologist, and it does not reverse joint damage.
From about a week or two to longer, depending on your condition, the programme and your progress. The written plan should state the expected length, the sessions per day and what happens if you need more time.
Yes. The quote is free and does not oblige you to book. You receive a written plan from the hospital, and you pay the hospital directly if you decide to go ahead.
