Hello everyone! I’m Nikolay, and I’m a Physiotherapist & Clinical Psychologist.

I hold a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation from International Dublin University, along with additional qualifications in Kinesiology and Adaptive Physical Therapy from Moscow. I also have clinical psychology training from the V.M. Bekhterev Institute in Saint Petersburg, which gives me a unique perspective on integrating physical and psychological health in my practice.

Throughout my career, I have gained expertise in Manual Therapy, Acupuncture from the Beijing Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and various detox therapies. I’ve developed a holistic method called "Kinesio-Psychocorrection" (KPK), which combines physical therapy, neurophysiology, and psychology to restore balance in the body and enhance overall health.

My main areas of interest lie in researching the effects of movement on health, from the cellular level to the biomechanics of the entire body. I am constantly seeking ways to develop new techniques for regenerating the musculoskeletal and nervous systems and creating tools that diagnose and correct posture and movement patterns.

My goal is to help people improve their health through personalized rehabilitation and preventative treatments, and I am passionate about finding innovative approaches to support my patients’ well-being.

I’m Zeynep, a Physiotherapist born in the magnificent city of Antalya.

My interest in medicine and especially human anatomy, and my creative perspective, encouraged me to become a physiotherapist.

That’s why I went to university in Cyprus from 2015 – 2019.

When I came back to Antalya, I participated in many certificate programs in the field of physiotherapy.

Then I attended language courses to improve my English.

Because my city is visited by many tourists, I have always been interested in communicating with people from different cultures.

This is why I began my career in a health and rehabilitation hotel.I had patients from different parts of the world.It was a great experience treating them and learning about their cultures at the same time.

As a therapist, postural awareness is what I focus on most when helping my patients.

I believe that the pain complaints we often encounter today begin with a lack of this awareness.

This was the reason behind my starting at Medworld Clinics in 2024, which offered me many innovative opportunities and adopted a holistic approach.
