Pregnancy brings about many changes in mothers' body which continues even after baby is born. After a vaginal delivery, taking good care of mother is an essential part of postpartum care and to maintain overall fitness. This is the time of restoration of muscle tone and connective tissue to the pre-pregnant state. But full restoration of fitness is not always possible; women usually loose shape of her body permanently. In modern era almost every women wish to bring back and maintain her shape as it was pre-pregnant state.Given the "culture of silence" regarding women's health in Indian is a matter of concern. Doctors in Obstetrics & Gynecology department are busy to deliver basic medical services to save the life of mother and child, they can only advise verbally to do the exercise and precautions, which is hardly followed by the mother. In modern society everyone needs to go out for the livelihood or for personal requirements. Participation of women in work force has increased manifold.For this she needs to keep herself fit. Against this background a physio-therapeutic package has been developed which will help the mother to maintain & improve their fitness level for future also.
