What it is

Prevention, one step at a time

Walkathon for Health Bharat began in Mulund’s gardens. It is a walk people take before knee pain reaches the clinic — seniors, women over 40, working professionals and families, together.

Healthy knees

Strength and mobility before pain sets in.

Correct walking

The simplest daily exercise, done the right way.

Out of the clinic

Expert guidance in the park, the society and the street.

Why we walk

Movement is medicine

Correct walking and the right exercises keep knees strong for longer. The goal is simple: stop early osteoarthritis before it starts.

28.7%

of adults had knee osteoarthritis in a community study across five Indian sites.

1 in 2

elderly Indians live with knee osteoarthritis, a recent systematic review estimates.

Who this walk is for

Senior citizens and the families who care for them. Women 40+, the group most affected by knee problems. Professionals who sit long hours. Morning walking groups in Mumbai and Thane housing societies.
