A one-day physiotherapy screening camp was successfully organized at GFPF Sikkim, Lower Chisopani, Singtam, on 26th March 2025, bringing together healthcare professionals committed to promoting early diagnosis and preventive care. The camp was led by esteemed physiotherapists, including Dr. Binita Basnet, Head of the Physiotherapy Department, and Dr. Diki Domala, Senior Physiotherapist, who conducted detailed screenings and provided expert guidance on musculoskeletal health.
The primary objective of the camp was to highlight the importance of early screening in preventing chronic conditions caused by prolonged work-related postures and repetitive strain injuries. Faculty members, workers, and professionals engaged in continuous physical activity were particularly targeted, as they are more susceptible to such musculoskeletal issues.
During the camp, a total of 80 individuals were screened. It was observed that the most common complaints were related to back, neck, and shoulder pain. The physiotherapy team offered practical advice on posture correction, ergonomic adjustments, and therapeutic exercises to help alleviate and prevent these conditions.
Speaking on the occasion, the physiotherapy team emphasised the significance of such initiatives in promoting a healthier workforce. They noted that regular screening camps not only support individual well-being but also improve organisational productivity by reducing absenteeism and preventing long-term health complications.
The camp concluded with a strong commitment to continue similar initiatives in the future, ensuring that preventive physiotherapy remains an integral part of workplace and community health programs.
