PHYSIOTHERAPY CARE FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH

Physiotherapy had been considered important in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology
for the past three decades. Initially, it was concentrated on perinatal and postnatal
stages. There are many other problems faced by the women community in all age
groups. We have attempted to bring the major problems affecting women’s health
from menarche to menopause and their physiotherapy treatment under one roof.
We have emphasized that not only exercises play a major role, but exercises along
with various physical therapy modalities can also help in overcoming women’s
problems. We have highlighted both the obstetric and gynecological problems and
have given a special emphasis on the athletic women. We could also provide a few
questionnaires which could be useful for the readers.
We would like to thank all those who gave their valuable time in helping us and
that adding to our effort have paved way for the success of publishing a lecture notes
considering various problems of women under the title “Physiotherapy Care for Women’s
Health”.
Our sincere thanks to PSG Management for their encouragement and Mr
Jayanandhan, Senior Author Coordinator and all other staff of Jaypee Brothers Medical
Publishers, for their support in our success in publishing this book.
