Nepal’s Voice for
Physiotherapy

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the official website of the Nepal Physiotherapy Association, the national body representing physiotherapists across Nepal. Established in 2000 AD with the vision of advancing the profession and promoting the health and well-being of our communities, NEPTA stands as a unified platform for advocacy, education, research, and service. NEPTA is a member organisation of International Organisation World Physiotherapy (WP).

Physiotherapy is an integral component of modern healthcare, supporting people of all ages to restore, maintain, and enhance their physical function and quality of life. At NEPTA, we are committed to strengthening this essential profession by empowering our members, promoting high standards of clinical practice, and ensuring equitable access to physiotherapy services throughout Nepal.

As the recognized professional association, NEPTA serves not only as the voice of physiotherapists but also as a trusted partner to government bodies, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and international networks. We actively engage in policy development, continuing professional development, collaborative training, and awareness campaigns that address both local needs and global health priorities.

This website is designed to be a welcoming space where you can explore our activities, learn about upcoming events, access resources, and celebrate the achievements of our members. Whether you are a physiotherapist, a healthcare professional, a student, a policymaker, or a member of the public seeking guidance, you will find valuable information here that reflects our dedication to professional growth and public service.

We warmly invite you to be part of our journey whether by engaging with our programs, sharing knowledge, or joining hands to advocate for healthier, more active, and inclusive communities. Together, we can build a future where physiotherapy is accessible to all, and where every individual has the opportunity to live with dignity, mobility, and independence.

On behalf of the Nepal Physiotherapy Association, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your interest and support. We look forward to walking this path with you.

Message From the President

Warm Greetings to All

Dear Members, Colleagues, and Well-Wishers,

Warm greetings from the Nepal Physiotherapy Association (NEPTA).

It is an honor and privilege to serve as the President of NEPTA. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and the nation at large. As the official professional body of physiotherapists in Nepal, NEPTA is committed to strengthening our profession, advocating for our rights, and promoting the highest standards of clinical practice, education, and research.

Our goal is to ensure that physiotherapy is fully recognized and integrated within Nepal’s healthcare system. We are actively engaging with policymakers, government agencies, and international partners to create more opportunities for physiotherapists and to ensure that our voice is heard where it matters most.

As we move forward, I call upon every physiotherapist, educator, researcher, and student to come together as one strong community. Let us support one another, share knowledge, and uphold ethical and evidence-based practices.

Together, we can shape a future where physiotherapy is not just recognized, but respected as a cornerstone of healthcare in Nepal.

With sincere gratitude,
Samit Katila Shrestha
President
Nepal Physiotherapy Association (NEPTA)
