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.

My goal is to continuously improve this field and implement comprehensive approaches that will improve people's lives.
