These programs are used to treat orthopedic problems such as fracture, dislocation, and ligament injuries; meniscus tears and ligament tears; sports injuries; or after surgery or arthroscopy of joints such as the shoulder, knee, and hip. The most important thing in orthopaedic rehabilitation is to prevent damage, restore function and get the patient back to an active life, and this is achieved with education, physiotherapy and exercise.

Specific exercise programs also support treatment. Manual therapy is used in the area of musculoskeletal problems (pinched nerve, movement restrictions, fibromyalgia, tendon and ligament problems, etc.). It is also used in orthopedic rehabilitation, sports rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation.
- Neurological rehabilitation - applied in stroke, hemiplegia, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy CP spina bifida, etc.
Most injuries, degenerations, bodily defects, tumors and circulation problems destroy the nervous system. With physiotherapy and rehabilitation, patients with conditions such as paralysis (as a result of brain haemorrhage, head injury, stroke, brain tumours, spinal cord injuries etc) and various neurological diseases (such as multiple sclerosis) are treated to reach their maximum functional capacity. In treating "Spasticity", a form of muscle stiffness, treating nerve injuries that can occur in the arms and legs, and nerve entrapments such as carpal tunnel syndrome, the hospital administers physical therapy and a neurological rehabilitation program that aims to restore the patient's activity to the maximum possible and help them gain functional independence. - Hand rehabilitation - Hand pain, restricted movement and loss of function caused by conditions following injuries, surgery and illness are treated with hand rehabilitation programmes.
- Occupational therapy
- Cardiac rehabilitation - Cardiac Rehabilitation aims to improve cardiac function, quality of life and longevity for patients with heart disease through education and counseling services along with an exercise program performed in a safe environment under medical supervision.

The most important benefit of cardiac rehabilitation is returning the patient to work.

- Electrotherapy
- Kinesiotherapy - It is a treatment option for orthopedic and neurological problems as well as back and neck pain. Its applications are gradually increasing.

Kinesiology tapes are used to help tired, weak or injured muscles that have lost flexibility.
