Exercise is the most important treatment and prevention method in the disease. Relaxation and stretching exercises, walking, swimming and cycling are particularly effective.

My mother has MS and fibromyalgia. Erdem Bey has been extremely helpful helping her navigate through pain. He is very professional and has an immaculately clean practice. He comes highly recommended!

Yoğun ağrılar ve Fibromiyalji tanısı ile Savaş Hocanın yönlendirmeleriyle Erdem Hocanın önerdiği tedaviye başladık.
Öncelikle fiziki açıdan ağrılar 3 seansın sonunda ciddi derecede azaldı.
Aynı zamanda her seansta aynı çalışma özeni,klinik araç ve gereçlerinin teknolojisi, titizliği,klinik çalışanlarının (Eda Hanım, Elif Hoca başta olmak üzere) yüksek çalışma disiplini tercih edilme sebeplerinden.Tüm bunların yanı sıra hocanın şahsi spor hocam ile tedavi destekli program üzerine görüşmesi de olumlu bir hissiyat yarattı, iyileşme süreci için etkili bir adım oldu.
Erdem Hoca ve ekibi ile çalıştığım için şanslı/sağlıklı hissediyorum. Eminim devamındaki süreçte bu rahatsızlık tamamen sona erecek. Gönül rahatlığı ile tedavi denenmelidir.

Ben Erdem beyi sırt ağrım için ziyaret etmiştim, senelerdir ne yaparsam yapıyım geçmedi masajlar ilaçlar hatta daha kötüye gitmeye başlamıştı. Erdem bey 2 seyansda, olan ağrılarımı azalttı çok tşk ediyorum kendisine.
