On this occasion Dilip Bartakke said that senior citizens need physiotherapy for various pain relief. The physiotherapy exercise helps your body to become stronger and more flexible. Physical changes occur in the elderly as they age. Bones and muscles in the body wear out. Due to this, the bones become brittle and the muscle strength decreases, the balance of the body deteriorates.
Recently, despite the need to keep healthy, senior citizens do not get time for health due to the financial disorder in their daily life, lack of transportation facilities. That’s why some senior citizens don’t go to the hospital even if they want to. Nowadays, people do not have much time to take the elderly to the hospital. Rotary Club of Thane Uptown noticed this problem of senior citizens. In collaboration with Rotary Club of Thane Uptown and Dignity Foundation, the initiative “Free Physiotherapy Van to the Homes of Senior Citizens” has solved that problem and contributed to take health services far and wide.
Jyoti Chavan, office bearer of Rotary Club of Thane Uptown appealed to maximum number of citizens to take advantage of this by holding camps in different wards of Thane city. Senior citizens Avinash Sakpal, Ravindra Dalvi, Raghoji Parab got special support to make the free physiotherapy facility camp a success.
