About Me

Tuğçe Atalay · Specialist Physiotherapist

Background

I was born in Mersin in 1995. After finishing middle school and high school in Mersin, I graduated in 2017 from the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Sciences, Hacettepe University. Throughout my undergraduate studies and my working life, I have completed a range of training programs in pelvic floor health in Turkey and abroad. Since 2017, I have gained clinical experience in adult and pediatric pelvic floor health at several clinics. With children, I have worked on urinary and fecal incontinence, neurogenic bladder, anal atresia, constipation and recurrent urinary tract infections; with adults, on urinary and fecal incontinence, stress urinary incontinence, constipation, sexual problems, interstitial cystitis, neurogenic bladder and related conditions. I have taught on pelvic floor health courses, and I continue my scientific work in this field.
