A woman's body undergoes incredible changes throughout her life; puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and beyond. Each phase brings unique physical challenges that often go unnoticed or untreated. Women’s Physiotherapy is a specialised branch focused on supporting women through these changes, helping them maintain strength, mobility, and long-term wellness.
At Ankura Hospital, our expert women’s physiotherapists offer personalised care to address concerns related to pelvic health, pregnancy, recovery after childbirth, posture, and hormonal transitions.
Why Women Need Specialised Physiotherapy
Women commonly experience issues such as back pain, pelvic floor weakness, urinary leakage, abdominal muscle separation, joint discomfort, and posture changes. These conditions are not normal, and they are completely treatable with guided physiotherapy.
Our team ensures early diagnosis, targeted treatment, and long-term relief. Some of our Specialised Physiotherapy Services for Women
