I shared insights on joint care with a group of elderly women yesterday, guiding them through essential exercises. Rehabilitation boosts mobility, eases pain and enhances quality of life in older persons. Let’s invest in their wellbeing! #Rehab2030 #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons

Rehabilitation is one of the superheroes in diabetes prevention and care! The exercises help to control blood sugar, improve sensation and blood flow. It’s time to move and take charge of diabetes! #Rehab2030

If you have chronic low back pain, seek out care that accounts for all aspects of your life, be it personal, physical, social or your environment. If you struggle with low back pain that has persisted for more than 3 months, ask your health worker about different care options

Being physically active goes a long way 💪in addressing chronic low back pain. No one exercise is superior - select an exercise type that is accessible in your community and that you enjoy bit.ly/487j2L8

Important implications for rehabilitation here and shows the need for more focus on and training for women's health rehabilitation .

Great new guidelines on low back pain from colleagues to which my team contributed. More attention to back pain (and wider musculoskeletal health) is needed in public and global health.
