Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Center Investment
A higher rate of orthopedic cases since the earthquake, alongside a growing elderly population, is creating steady and rising demand for physical therapy and rehabilitation services.

The post-earthquake period brought a marked rise in orthopedic cases and fracture/trauma recovery needs, meaningfully increasing demand for physical therapy centers. This demand functions as a continuation of hospital treatment for discharged patients, making it a complementary investment to the region's existing hospital capacity rather than a competing one.
What Project Types Are Worth Considering?
- Orthopedic rehabilitation center
- Neurological rehabilitation center
- Sports-injury physical therapy center
- Day rehabilitation center for the elderly
Which Areas Should You Consider?
Locations near Antakya's major hospitals are advantageous for post-discharge patient referral. İskenderun offers a separate demand segment tied to industrial-zone workers recovering from workplace injuries.
Licensing and Permit Process
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation center license from the Provincial Health Directorate
- Physiotherapist and specialist physician staff approval
- Accessibility and technical standards compliance for the building
- Business opening and operating license
Incentives and Support
Region 6 incentives apply to physical therapy center investments as well; offering services under SGK (social security) agreement is an important factor in patient access and occupancy.

Without an SGK agreement, patient flow can be largely limited to self-paying patients, so planning the SGK agreement process early is important.
