Dr. Gülşah Kalaycı

As a 72-year-old retired ceramics artist with severe osteoarthritis in both hands, I feared I'd never shape clay again. Dr. Gülşah didn't just prescribe medication; she designed a 'clay therapy' rehabilitation program using specially textured therapeutic putty that mimicked my materials. Within three months, I regained enough fine motor control to complete a commemorative vase for my granddaughter's wedding—a piece I thought was lost forever.

My 14-year-old daughter, a competitive rhythmic gymnast, suffered a complex sacroiliac joint dysfunction after a fall. Other doctors suggested quitting the sport. Dr. Kalaycı created a revolutionary rehabilitation plan incorporating ballet barre exercises and proprioceptive training on unstable surfaces. She treated my daughter not just as a patient but as an athlete, collaborating with her coach. Nine months later, she won her first national medal since the injury.

After surviving a motorcycle accident at 31, I had bilateral brachial plexus injuries and was told I might never lift my arms above my shoulders. Dr. Gülşah employed a combination of neuromodulation techniques, including dry needling of specific trigger points and mirror therapy, that I'd never encountered. She even modified my guitar so I could practice chords during recovery. Today, I not only raise my arms fully but have returned to playing in my band.

My 83-year-old father with Parkinson's developed severe camptocormia (bent spine syndrome), collapsing forward at nearly 90 degrees. Traditional physical therapy failed. Dr. Kalaycı pioneered a unique 'gravity-alignment protocol' using a customized harness system and vibration therapy along his paraspinal muscles. The transformation was miraculous—he now walks upright with a walker and can look his great-grandchildren in the eyes again.
