Dated Tuesday, April 26, 2011 and number:27916 Paragraph "b" of Article 9 of Law No. 6225 published in the Official Gazette defines physiotherapist and the article is as follows:

They can work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, private clinics, sports clubs, nursing homes
Finally, my personal comment:As seen in the course contents above, physical therapy is available in almost all fields of medicine and the education in Turkey is very good. and it is enough. However, recently it has been opened in many universities in an uncontrolled manner and continues to be opened. This leaves question marks in minds about training quality physiotherapists. My suggestion for this is that families look at the academic staff of the schools they will prefer and, if possible, talk to a physiotherapist who graduated from that school. It is a profession with a high level of professional satisfaction, of course, if it is chosen willingly and consciously. It is a profession whose value is not fully appreciated in Turkey and which cannot be used efficiently due to legal deficiencies.
