There is no specific Master of Physiotherapy (MPT) programme in Gynaecology. MPT programs typically cover a range of physiotherapy specializations, such as orthopaedics, neurology, cardiopulmonary, sports, and pediatric physiotherapy, among others. However, gynaecology itself is a medical speciality that deals with the health and diseases of the female reproductive system.Physiotherapists can play a supportive role in women's health and gynaecological care, but this usually falls under the broader category of women's health physiotherapy. Women's health physiotherapists may work with women of all ages to address various issues related to pelvic health and musculoskeletal problems.
