Overview

The Physiotherapy Department at Kageshwori Manohara Nagar Hospital, located in Mulpani, Kathmandu, offers a wide range of rehabilitation services aimed at promoting recovery, mobility, and overall well-being. Officially started from 2080-06-01 (Bikram Sambat calendar), the department is staffed by four skilled physiotherapists and provides both OPD (Outpatient Department) and IPD (Inpatient Department) services to cater to diverse patient needs. The department is equipped with various therapeutic modalities to enhance the effectiveness of treatments. These include electrotherapy (such as TENS, IFT, and ultrasound) for pain relief and muscle stimulation, manual therapy techniques for joint and soft tissue mobilization, cupping therapy for muscle relaxation and improved circulation, and dry needling for myofascial pain management. Kinesiotaping is used to support muscles and joints without restricting movement, while aerobic training and Pilates are integrated to improve cardiovascular fitness, core stability, and postural control. Additionally, the department provides medical rehabilitation and individualized exercise prescriptions to ensure that each patient’s treatment plan is tailored to their specific condition and goals. The department treats a wide range of conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries (e.g., low back pain, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, and post-fracture mobilization), neurological disorders (such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, and Guillain-Barré syndrome), pediatric conditions (including cerebral palsy, developmental delays, Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies), and geriatric concerns (like dementia, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease). It also caters to obstetric and gynecological, as well as cardio-respiratory and pulmonary rehabilitation needs, offering a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to physiotherapeutic care.
