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.

Hello, I am Fatma Duha Özkılıç. I was born in Antalya in 1994. I completed my undergraduate studies in Health Vocational High School Nursing studies between 2008-2012 and Ankara Gazi University Faculty of Health Sciences Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation between 2015-2019. I was developed by obtaining various certifications such as Manual Therapy Training, Norton School International Lymphedema Certification and Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Training. Throughout my career, I have discovered the only principle of continuous improvement in the expanding spectrum of education. I have in my body the hard work, theoretical and practical knowledge required in every field of the health sector, the ability of teams, the ability to empathize and many more. My main goals are to minimize the pain and suffering that people experience due to their diseases and to improve their quality of life. Being involved in the improvements of the treatment process increases my commitment to the profession. I think that I will contribute to my profession with my devoted efforts in dealing with patients, whether they are treated or not.
