Orthopedic Conditions We Treat in Pokhara
Our orthopedic team covers the full spectrum of bone, joint and musculoskeletal conditions — from acute fractures to chronic arthritis and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Fracture Management & Rehabilitation
Acute care and post-cast physiotherapy for wrist, ankle, hip, vertebral and clavicle fractures. Early rehabilitation reduces stiffness and speeds return to full function.
Joint Arthritis & Osteoarthritis
Pain management and mobility restoration for knee, hip and shoulder osteoarthritis. Structured physiotherapy can significantly reduce pain and delay or avoid joint replacement surgery.
Spine & Disc Conditions
Expert management of lumbar spondylosis, cervical spondylosis, slipped disc (PIVD) and spinal stenosis — combined orthopedic assessment and physiotherapy for lasting relief.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis treated with manual therapy, electrotherapy and targeted exercise programs.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Early-phase and long-term recovery after total knee replacement (TKR), total hip replacement (THR), ACL reconstruction, shoulder surgery and fracture fixation. We start the day you are cleared.
Sports Injuries & Ligament Injuries
Ligament sprains, meniscus tears, rotator cuff injuries and muscle strains — assessed, diagnosed and rehabilitated with objective return-to-function testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about orthopedic care at Abinth Hospital in Pokhara.
Do I need a referral to see the orthopedic specialist?
No referral is needed. You can book directly. If you have existing scans or reports, please bring them — they help us give a faster, more accurate diagnosis.
How do I know if I need surgery or physiotherapy?
Our orthopedic specialist will assess your condition and explain both options honestly. Many conditions that seem to require surgery — such as knee arthritis or rotator cuff tears — respond very well to structured physiotherapy first.
How soon after surgery can physiotherapy begin?
For most knee and hip replacements, physiotherapy begins within 1–2 days of surgery. We coordinate directly with your surgeon to start at the earliest safe point.
How long does post-surgical rehabilitation take?
Total knee replacement typically takes 3–6 months for full function. Hip replacement is often 6–12 weeks. We give you realistic milestones at your first physiotherapy session.
Do you offer home visit physiotherapy after orthopedic surgery?
Yes. For patients who cannot travel immediately after surgery, we provide home visit physiotherapy — same qualified therapists, same evidence-based protocol, at your home.
Real Recoveries From Our Patients
Stories of patients who trusted Abinth Hospital with their orthopedic care and rehabilitation.
I had knee pain for three years. Two clinics told me I needed surgery immediately. At Abinth, they assessed me properly, started physiotherapy, and six weeks later I cancelled the surgery — I didn’t need it.
After my total knee replacement, I was walking independently in three weeks. The physio team coordinated with my surgeon from day one. Excellent care.
Frozen shoulder for eight months. Other places just gave me cortisone. Abinth used manual therapy and electrotherapy — full movement back in six weeks.

Understanding Orthopedic Rehabilitation in Depth
Orthopedic physiotherapy is far more than a set of exercises handed over after an injury or operation. It is a structured, measurable process of restoring the load-bearing capacity of bone, joint, muscle and connective tissue so that the body can return to the demands of everyday life — walking on Pokhara’s uneven lakeside paths, climbing stairs at home, lifting a grandchild, or returning to physical work. When rehabilitation is rushed or generic, tissues are loaded before they are ready and the injury either lingers or returns. When it is progressed correctly, recovery is faster, more complete and far more durable.
Every joint and every surgical procedure has a known biological healing timeline. Soft tissue inflammation settles over days, collagen remodels over weeks, and bone consolidates over months. A good orthopedic physiotherapist works with these timelines — protecting healing structures early, then progressively challenging them as they mature. This is why we re-assess at every stage rather than following a fixed sheet of exercises.
Why Recovery Sometimes Stalls — and How We Prevent It
Plateaus in orthopedic recovery are common and almost always have a specific, fixable cause. The most frequent are: stopping exercises once pain reduces (pain relief is not the same as full healing), under-loading the tissue out of fear, skipping the strength phase entirely, or never restoring the neuromuscular control that protects a joint during real-world movement. Patients who do their home programme inconsistently recover noticeably slower than those who treat it as part of the treatment, not an optional extra.
Our approach builds in objective checkpoints — range of motion targets, strength symmetry between the injured and healthy side, and functional tests — so a plateau is identified early and the programme is adjusted before time is lost. We would rather change the plan at week four than discover at week twelve that progress stopped.
Costs, Number of Sessions and Insurance
Most acute orthopedic conditions respond within 6–12 supervised sessions combined with a daily home programme. Post-surgical rehabilitation (knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, fracture fixation) is longer — typically a structured programme over three to six months with the frequency of clinic visits reducing as you become more independent. We publish our session and package rates openly and offer discounted packages for long rehabilitation courses. We also work with most major Nepali insurance providers; bring your policy details and we will advise what is covered before you commit.
Getting the Most From Your Home Programme
Roughly seventy percent of orthopedic recovery happens between clinic visits. The home programme is therefore not homework — it is the treatment, continued. We keep it realistic: a small number of correctly chosen exercises done consistently beats a long list done occasionally. We will show you exactly how each movement should feel, what is normal discomfort versus a warning sign, and how to progress safely. If anything is unclear, ask at the next session rather than guessing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an X-ray or MRI before starting physiotherapy?
Often no. Many orthopedic conditions are diagnosed accurately by clinical examination. If imaging will change the management plan or surgery is a possibility, we coordinate it. Do not delay your assessment waiting for a scan.
Will physiotherapy be painful?
You should expect some discomfort when working a healing or stiff structure, but treatment should never cause sharp or lasting pain. We work within a tolerable range and progress as the tissue adapts.
Can I exercise at the gym during rehabilitation?
Frequently yes, with modifications. Maintaining general fitness aids recovery. We will tell you specifically what to continue, what to modify and what to avoid for now.
How soon after surgery should rehabilitation start?
For many joint replacements, within one to two days. For fracture fixation, once your surgeon clears weight-bearing. Earlier structured rehab consistently produces better outcomes than delayed care.
What happens if I stop early because I feel better?
Stopping at pain-free but before the strength and control phases is the single biggest cause of re-injury. We will tell you honestly when you are genuinely ready to be discharged.

More Questions Answered
Which is the best physiotherapist in Pokhara for post-surgery rehab?
A&B International Hospital provides consultant-guided orthopedic physiotherapy with surgeon coordination and written, milestone-based programmes — book an assessment to discuss your specific operation.
How soon after a fracture can rehabilitation start?
Often once your surgeon confirms the fracture is stable or weight-bearing is allowed. Early, controlled movement reduces stiffness and speeds recovery.
Do you provide home exercises?
Yes — every patient leaves with a clear home-exercise programme, since most orthopedic recovery happens between visits.
