Mysore/Mysuru: Tiredness, body stiffness, reduced movement or pain are often seen as natural signs of ageing. However, these symptoms are not always caused by ageing process alone. In many cases, they may be linked to underlying autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or other musculoskeletal disorders.

Manipal Hospital, Mysuru, is organising a focused community forum for senior citizens (aged 55 plus), dedicated to raising awareness about rheumatology and age-related autoimmune conditions. The event will be held tomorrow (July 20) from 10.30 am to 1 pm at OPD B, Manipal Hospital, Mysuru.

Dr. K.N. Sangeetha, Consultant – Rheumatologist, Manipal Hospital, will preside and provide insights into early detection, expert care and the supportive roles of physiotherapy and nutrition in improving mobility and quality of life for the elderly.

There will be a live demonstration of easy exercises for seniors by Physiotherapist Ismail and a demo of anti-inflammatory and bone health promoting recipe preparations by the Diet & Nutrition team. For more details and registration call Mob: 96206-33255.
