Patient Experience
A 28-year-old professional freediver from the Aegean coast presented with persistent barotrauma-induced shoulder pain and limited range of motion after a deep dive incident. Dr. Kandemir developed a novel aquatic rehabilitation protocol combining hyperbaric chamber sessions with specific proprioceptive exercises in the hospital's therapy pool, enabling the patient to return to competitive diving within four months.
A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with severe Parkinson's disease tremors sought help for maintaining his art. Dr. Kandemir designed a customized vibration therapy and weighted utensil system combined with mindfulness-based movement retraining, allowing the patient to complete his final commissioned piece for a museum collection.
A 16-year-old nationally ranked e-sports athlete presented with debilitating repetitive strain injuries in both wrists and cervical radiculopathy from marathon gaming sessions. Treatment involved a revolutionary combination of myofascial release techniques, ergonomic workstation redesign, and scheduled 'micro-movement' breaks calibrated to tournament schedules, resulting in championship qualification without pain.
A 45-year-old Syrian refugee and former carpenter with complex regional pain syndrome following a war injury arrived with minimal Turkish language skills. Dr. Kandemir utilized visual pain scales and gesture-based communication to implement graded motor imagery and mirror therapy, achieving 70% pain reduction and enabling basic woodworking for therapeutic income generation.
