Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Nepal: Conservative Physiotherapy Instead of Surgery

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common nerve compression conditions in the world — and its prevalence is rapidly rising in Nepal as desk work, smartphone use, and computer-based jobs become increasingly common in Kathmandu’s growing urban workforce. Yet many patients in Nepal who receive a CTS diagnosis are immediately told they need surgery — when, in the majority of cases, this simply is not true.

Vertigo and Dizziness Treatment in Kathmandu: BPPV, Vestibular Physiotherapy and Manual Techniques

Vertigo and dizziness are among the most distressing and disabling symptoms a person can experience. The sudden sensation that the room is spinning — or that you are spinning — can strike without warning, making it impossible to walk safely, work, or carry out daily activities. Despite how debilitating vertigo can be, many patients in Kathmandu do not know that it can often be resolved quickly and completely with the right physiotherapy treatment.

Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) Treatment in Kathmandu: Trigger Points, Causes and Manual Therapy

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is one of the most common — yet most frequently misdiagnosed — causes of chronic musculoskeletal pain in Nepal.

The Office Worker’s Guide to Posture and Pain Prevention

Back pain related to office work

Kathmandu’s rapidly growing IT sector, financial services industry, and government workforce means that hundreds of thousands of people in the Kathmandu Valley now spend 6-10 hours per day seated at a desk. This shift in working habits has created an epidemic of musculoskeletal pain — neck pain, back pain, shoulder tension, headaches, and wrist problems — that is directly linked to poor posture and poor ergonomics.

Paralysis Rehabilitation in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur

A stroke or paralysis event is one of the most devastating neurological events a person and their family can face. Within hours, a person’s ability to move, speak, and live independently can be profoundly affected. Yet the good news — supported by decades of neuroscience research — is that the brain has remarkable capacity to recover and reorganise (neuroplasticity), and early, intensive physiotherapy is the single most important factor in determining the extent of that recovery.

Cupping Therapy in Kathmandu: Benefits, Procedure & Who Should Try It at Manual Therapy Hospital

Cupping therapy is one of the oldest and most effective physical therapy techniques in the world — and it is available at Manual Therapy Hospital in Kathmandu. Used by elite athletes, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation specialists globally, modern clinical cupping has evolved far beyond its traditional roots into a powerful, evidence-informed treatment for muscle pain, mobility restrictions, and recovery from injury.

If you have noticed circular marks on the backs of athletes at major sporting events and wondered what they are — those are from cupping therapy. At Manual Therapy Hospital, we integrate cupping into our comprehensive treatment programmes for conditions ranging from back pain and neck stiffness to sports injuries and fibromyalgia.

Cupping therapy creates a negative pressure (suction) on the skin and underlying tissue, lifting and separating the layers of fascia, muscle, and connective tissue to promote blood flow, reduce tension, and accelerate healing.

Frozen Shoulder Treatment Without Surgery in Nepal: Manual Therapy Recovery Guide 2026

A frozen shoulder — medically known as adhesive capsulitis — is one of the most painful and debilitating shoulder conditions that a person can experience. The shoulder becomes progressively stiff, restricting everyday activities like combing hair, reaching overhead, or even dressing. Many patients in Nepal are told to wait it out or that surgery is the only solution. Both of these approaches are unnecessarily limiting.

At Manual Therapy Hospital — Nepal’s pioneer in manual therapy since 2011 — frozen shoulder is one of our most successfully treated conditions. Our clinics in Baneshwor, Kathmandu, and Dhobighat, Lalitpur, have helped hundreds of frozen shoulder patients across Nepal regain full or near-full shoulder movement without surgery.

You do not have to live with a frozen shoulder for 2-3 years waiting for it to ‘thaw’ on its own. Expert manual therapy can dramatically accelerate recovery and eliminate pain — without surgery.
