The pain presented after a caesarean section makes the recovery difficult and delays the mother__ampersandsignrsquo;s mobility. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Physiotherapy treatment on Pain by VAS, Difference in PEFR and functional mobility by __ampersandsignldquo;time up and go__ampersandsignrdquo; scale and on cadence. Method: Mothers with lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) eligible to participate in the study were divided into two groups; routine nursing care only as to date was the practice. The experimental exercise group was given fixed physiotherapy protocol from postoperative (POD) 1 up to the day of discharge. The severity of pain was assessed with the visual analogue scale on POD 1 and the day of discharge and functional mobility was to be assessed with the __ampersandsignldquo;time up and go__ampersandsignrdquo; scale and cadence on the day of discharge. Peak expiratory flow rate was taken op Pod 1 and day of discharge. Result: There was a significant reduction in VAS at rest and movement within the group (P0.05). There was a significant difference in mean PEFR at the day of discharge within and between the group (P0.05). Conclusion: Early Postpartum physiotherapy was found to be beneficial in both the active patient group and also in the group where education and demonstration were given.&#13;
