"Resilient Women in Space: Accelerating Action Through Physiotherapy"

SPEAKER: Garima Gedamkar

Stranded NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, originally set for an eight-day space mission, has now spent more than 250 days aboard the International Space Station.

Reflecting on her prolonged journey, she said, "I've been trying to remember what it’s like to walk."

With her return to Earth via SpaceX’s Crew Dragon just around the corner, two critical questions emerge:

- What happens to the human body in space?

- How do astronauts retrain for gravity after extended space missions?

Join us in celebrating International Women’s Day 2025 and its theme, "Accelerate Action," with an inspiring webinar on the vital intersection of women's health, space exploration, and physiotherapy.

We’ll explore the fascinating effects of space on the human body and the essential role physiotherapists play in optimizing astronaut performance. Discover how physiotherapy helps astronauts not just survive but thrive in space.

Celebrate the strength, determination, and resilience of women in space with ASTROCISE as we dive deep into the science and stories that shape the future of space travel.
