Pt. Serdar Mataraci

Sciatica is not a diagnosis — it is the name of a pain pattern running from the buttock down the leg. What it means when pain drops below the knee, which signs are emergencies, whether you really need an MRI, and what physiotherapy can honestly do.

Most shoulder pain comes from the rotator cuff. What the painful arc between 60 and 120 degrees means, why the ache wakes you at night, how we tell it apart from frozen shoulder, and why an MRI that says "tear" is rarely a verdict.

What separates the patient who wakes at night and shakes the hand awake from the one who waited eight months until the thumb muscle wasted? The symptom map, the little-finger clue, night splints, and the point where surgery beats physiotherapy.

Is an uneven shoulder scoliosis or just posture? How to do the forward bend test at home, what the Cobb angle thresholds mean, where bracing and exercise part ways, and what exercise honestly changes — from our clinic in Antalya.

Home physiotherapy in Antalya: who it suits, what happens in the first visit, the family's role in transfers and positioning, making a home fall-safe, and when to call a doctor.

The pain that stabs into your heel on the first step of the day usually does not come from the “spur” on your X-ray, but from overload where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel bone. Here is the difference, the home stretches, and how we treat it.

In frozen shoulder the problem is not the muscle but the capsule around the joint. The three stages and how long each lasts, why stretching harms in the painful stage, the role of diabetes, the examination finding that sets it apart, and three home exercises.

Not all knee pain comes from osteoarthritis, and the grade on your X-ray does not decide how much you hurt. We explain how the knee joint works, how meniscus and ligament pain differ from arthritis, why walking does not wear the joint out, and four exercises you can start at home.

Most lower back pain comes from how the spine carries load, not from a disc. From our clinic in Muratpaşa, Antalya: how mechanical pain differs from disc-related pain, the warning signs that send us to a doctor first, and what actually helps with sitting, lifting and sleeping.

The further your head tips forward, the more load your neck muscles carry. The mechanics behind tech neck, six things you can change at your desk and in bed tonight, three exercises that take ten minutes a day, and the signs that mean it is time to see a physiotherapist.

Most injuries come from habits that build up over months, not from one unlucky movement. Our Antalya clinic shares an 8-minute warm-up, separate routines for desk workers and regular trainers, recovery rules, and the signs that mean it is time to see a physiotherapist.

What manual therapy actually involves, which complaints it helps, how a session goes and how many sessions are usually needed, explained by our physiotherapy clinic in Antalya.
