Physiotherapy in Women’s Health

Physiotherapy in Women’s Health identifies the problems associated with pregnancy, child birth, post-partum, breastfeeding and menopause. The physiotherapy management basically deals with pelvic floor muscle issues and pelvic pain.
Uterine prolapse is a major public health problem in rural Nepal. It is a medical and social problem, deeply rooted with poor health services and socio-cultural beliefs. To overcome and  prevent the problems, Dhulikhel Hospital is providing the physiotherapy services for antenatal and postnatal women.
