Rehabilitation and physiotherapy in Turkey
Turkey is the only destination that offers all five of Medbook's rehabilitation procedures. South Korea offers two of them, chiropractic and manual therapy, and acupuncture and pain-relief therapy; Lithuania offers one, physiotherapy and rehab programmes.
Turkey is also the only destination where you can combine physiotherapy and rehab programmes with spine surgery: Lithuania has no spine procedures at the moment, and South Korea does not offer physiotherapy programmes.
You see a price only when a clinic makes you an offer.

What you can have done in Turkey
Two of Turkey's five are offered nowhere else on Medbook: neurological and stroke rehabilitation, and cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. The other three are offered in a second country as well: physiotherapy and rehab programmes in Lithuania, and chiropractic and manual therapy, as well as acupuncture and pain-relief therapy, in South Korea, so for those your results show that country too. Each programme is described in more detail in Medbook's rehabilitation and physiotherapy guide, under Treatments.
If you know you need rehabilitation but have not picked a programme, "Not sure yet" under rehabilitation and physiotherapy leaves that question to the clinic, which reviews your case before making an offer.
How the trip usually goes
Before you answer the assistant's question about days abroad, think about how long you can really stay in Turkey: its longest fixed answer is 7–10 days, and "As many as needed" covers anything longer. The letters and therapy notes worth gathering are listed in the guide, and in the online consultation before you travel you can ask how the sessions would be spread over your stay.
With an offer confirmed, "Let Medbook plan everything" hands Medbook your flights, transfers and accommodation at once; otherwise, book the flight and add the transfer after it. In Turkey, a personal coordinator and an interpreter are part of the services for your stay. A programme usually opens with an appointment at the clinic before the sessions begin, and the programme's length largely shapes how long you stay; your clinic confirms the dates in its offer, which also shows whether follow-up is included.
Questions
Which destination offers both physiotherapy and acupuncture?
Only Turkey. Lithuania has physiotherapy and rehab programmes, and South Korea acupuncture and pain-relief therapy. Both can go into one request as two separate procedures; whether they fit into a single stay is the clinic's decision, and you see its dates in the offer.
Can I come for rehabilitation after surgery I had at home?
You can choose a rehabilitation procedure on its own, without a treatment from another area, and mention the operation in your own words when you describe your case. The clinic reviews your case before it makes an offer, and the discharge letter is worth having ready for the online consultation before you travel.
