On 23rd August,2020, an online talk was conducted by SWITCH INDIA for the teaching faculty from different fields and institutes to address the issue of increased physical problems that have been encountered due to continuous use of screen and the associated musculoskeletal problems that are on a rise due to sedentary lifestyle especially during this pandemic.
Total number of participants that we attended to were 20 and the duration of the activity was 1.5 hours. It was an interactive session taken by Dr. Twinkle Karia (P.T.) and Siddhai Gurav. It was a healthcare and awareness session. Through this session, SWITCH INDIA reached out to the teaching faculty who find it difficult to cope with health ailments that arise due to constant screen viewing and sedentary lifestyle.
For the planning of the event, we researched through the common problems with respect to postural problems, use of faulty equipment, sedentary lifestyle etc. We planned and demonstrated a general management program for common conditions and prepared the presentation for the same.
The event took place on 23rd August,2020 at 5 pm through Free Conference Call app. The total duration was for 1.5 hours. The attendees came out to be more aware about the health problems, the cause behind them and possible solutions that can be undertaken to reduce the same. They not only learnt various exercises and stretches but many myths about health issues were eradicated and the participants were enlightened about ways to improve their health during the current pandemic.
Personally, it was a great experience and an amazing platform for us to interact with so many participants and exercise our clinical knowledge to the fullest. We are very thankful to SWITCH INDIA to have given us the opportunity to present such a wonderful talk show and extend our knowledge to masses.
