New Delhi, September 9, 2025: Marking World Physiotherapy Day, HCMCT Manipal Hospital, New Delhi, organised a special community engagement programme aimed at creating awareness around the role of physiotherapy in healthy ageing and promoting bone health. The event featured expert talks, interactive activities, and physiotherapy stations that helped participants understand how physiotherapy can help in pain management and overall well-being. Over 100 elderly attendees participated in the programme.

 

The program involved expert sessions by senior doctors on the role of physiotherapy in healthy ageing, followed by a session on the role of regenerative medicine in chronic pain. One of the major highlights of the event was the dedicated physio stations for the attendees to promote strength-building exercises, computerised posture assessments with instant feedback, guided stretching, and balance training activities such as one-leg stands, foam pad challenges, gait line walks, along with a specialised corner for pain and palliative care.

 

Dr. Dharam Pandey, HOD and Consultant - Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Sciences, HCMCT Manipal Hospital said, “It is important to understand that physiotherapy is not limited to recovery after an injury or surgery. For the elderly, it is a way of living helping them stay mobile, independent, and confident. Regular physiotherapy exercises help improve posture, reduce the risk of falls, and maintain joint strength, all of which are essential for healthy ageing.”

 

Highlighting the importance of physiotherapy, Dr. Rajeev Verma, Chairman - Manipal Institute of Bone & Joints, HCMCT Manipal Hospital said, “Healthy ageing is closely linked to how well we maintain our bone and joint health over time. As people grow old, bones naturally lose density and strength, which increases the risk of fractures and long recovery periods post-injuries. This is where physiotherapy plays a role in not only reducing the recovery but also in maintaining bone strength, mobility, and balance as preventive care.”

 

Adding to this, Dr. Namrata Dabas, HOD and Consultant - Pain and Palliative Care, HCMCT Manipal Hospital said, “Chronic pain is a common issue in the ageing population. However, with advancements in physiotherapy and regenerative medicine, post-injury pain can be effectively managed and prevented. Physiotherapy offers non-invasive solutions that reduce dependence on medication and help regain hope, improve strength, and restore quality of life.”

 

The celebration of World Physiotherapy Day at Manipal Hospitals Dwarka served as a reminder that physiotherapy is not just about recovery but is a vital element of healthy ageing. It showcases the hospital’s role in providing continuous guidance, support, and holistic care which helps people improve their quality of life.
