In her speech at the event, Dr Angom Rita said Indian Association of Physiotherapist, Women Cell, Manipur has been creating awareness to people particularly among women about physiotherapy and how it could help women recover from different diseases they encounter in life.

Osteoarthritis is one disease common to both men and women when they cross 40/50 years of age but meditation and physiotherapy in early stage of the disease could save the suffering person.

Physiotherapy can be done self but many of the patients suffering from osteoarthritis consult physio therapist only when they are paralysed and do physiotherapy for movement, she said adding that physiotherapy can save life of many people but this awareness seems to be lacking among people.
