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.

Rehabilitation equipment inside a physical therapy center

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.

What to Keep in Mind

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