FLO Pune, in collaboration with Jehangir Hospital, hosted an engaging health awareness session titled “Ageing Gracefully Through Movement.” The session was designed to empower women with practical insights into maintaining mobility, independence, and overall well-being as they age.
Dr. Radhika Patil, an eminent physiotherapist and researcher, shared valuable knowledge on the importance of movement as the foundation of healthy ageing. She emphasised that rehabilitation is not merely about recovery from illness or injury but about restoring confidence, strength, mobility, and quality of life.
The session highlighted the importance of preventive healthcare, regular physical activity, posture, balance, strength training, and timely physiotherapy in preventing age-related conditions and enabling individuals to remain active and independent.
