Instructor TUNA YILMAZ

I completed my undergraduate education in the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at International Cyprus University between 2014 and 2018. During my undergraduate studies, I gained practical internship experience in various healthcare institutions in order to improve my professional knowledge and clinical skills. Throughout this period, I had the opportunity to reinforce my theoretical knowledge with clinical practice by receiving hands-on training in university hospitals, thermal rehabilitation centers, and different clinical settings. I completed the final stage of my clinical internship at Ondokuz Mayıs University Developmental Research Hospital, where I gained significant experience particularly in clinical applications.

After completing my undergraduate education, I pursued my academic development by starting a master’s program and completed my graduate studies in the field of General Physiotherapy. Alongside my academic education, I continued my professional career in the clinical field and worked as a physiotherapist in several large hospitals in İzmir. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with diverse patient populations and further developed my clinical experience within multidisciplinary healthcare teams.

Following my clinical experience, I established my own clinic in İzmir, where I primarily provided services in the field of orthopedic rehabilitation. During this period, I applied patient assessment and treatment approaches based on current scientific evidence and continuously improved my clinical practice.

In order to contribute to my professional development, I actively participated in various national and international trainings, seminars, and congresses. In particular, I gained valuable clinical and academic knowledge through DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) training programs. Additionally, I attended several courses and training programs in pelvic floor physiotherapy, orthopedic rehabilitation, and sports physiotherapy, further developing my areas of expertise.

Currently, I am working as a Lecturer in the Physiotherapy Associate Degree Program at Cyprus Aydın University, where I share my professional knowledge and experience with students and contribute to the education of qualified healthcare professionals in the field of physiotherapy. I continue to pursue my academic and professional development through ongoing scientific and clinical work in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
