Purpose, vision and mission

Healthy knees and active lives, for every age

Built on prevention rather than late treatment. An initiative of Blessings Physiotherapy Clinic, Mulund West.

Vision

Prevention before the clinic visit

Healthy knees and active lives for every age, built on daily walking done correctly, posture that protects the joints, and physiotherapy that reaches the community.

Mission

Healthy Knees

To prevent early osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis, poor posture and inactive days are the problem. A short, guided walk is the first answer.

Knee health

Strength and mobility before pain sets in.

Healthy walking

The simplest daily exercise, done right.

Posture

Habits that protect the spine and joints.

Preventive physio

Expert guidance in the community, not only the clinic.

The organiser

Meet Dr. Hansa Thacker

Dr. Hansa Thacker runs Blessings Physiotherapy Clinic in Mulund West and is Medical Director with Rotary Club of Mumbai Mulund South (RCMMS) for 2026–27. For more than 15 years she has helped people move without pain.

Knee, back and neck pain are what patients walk in with every day. This walkathon takes that care out of the clinic and into the community.

At the clinic

Matrix Rhythm Therapy

Alongside the walks, Blessings uses Matrix Rhythm Therapy (MaRhyThe®). Dr. Hansa went to Germany and trained with Dr. med. Ulrich G. Randoll at the Dr. Randoll Institut in Munich, and she holds that certificate. It is part of clinic care for back, neck and joint pain. The walkathon itself stays simple: walking, posture and prevention.
