The Fellowship in Women Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation (FWPR) is a specialized program designed to develop clinical expertise in managing women’s health conditions across different life stages. It focuses on evidence-based assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation techniques for issues related to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pelvic floor dysfunction, and lifestyle disorders.

The program begins with foundational knowledge of female anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics, followed by in-depth training in pelvic floor rehabilitation, including management of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. It further covers antenatal and postnatal physiotherapy, emphasizing safe exercise prescription, pain management, and functional recovery.

Learners also gain insights into gynecological conditions such as PCOS, menopause-related complications, and chronic pelvic pain, along with the role of physiotherapy in improving quality of life. Advanced modules introduce manual therapy, electrotherapy, and evidence-based clinical decision-making.

Each month includes assignments, case studies, and practical projects to enhance hands-on skills and critical thinking. The fellowship concludes with a comprehensive case study and clinical presentation, ensuring participants are prepared for real-world practice. This program is ideal for physiotherapists seeking specialization in women’s health and rehabilitation.
