Location
Nehru Stadium indoor pool, Chennai

To mark World Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month, TNMDA organised a hydrotherapy camp at the indoor swimming pool at Nehru Stadium in Chennai. The camp introduced members and their families to the benefits of water-based therapy in a safe, supported setting.

Hydrotherapy uses the buoyancy and warmth of water to support movement with less strain on muscles and joints. For people living with muscular dystrophy, it can help maintain mobility, ease stiffness and build confidence in the water. Physiotherapists and trained volunteers guided members through gentle exercises in the pool.

The camp was also an awareness programme. Families learned about muscular dystrophy, the importance of early care and the role of rehabilitation in daily life. Members registered on the day, received guidance and took part in discussions with the team.

We were joined by guests R. Balaji, Assistant Director at the office of the State Commissioner for the Differently Abled, and A.N.S. Prasad, Founder of the Suryaprasad Seva Foundation. Their presence and encouragement meant a great deal to our members.

Highlights

  • Guided hydrotherapy sessions in a safe, supervised pool
  • Awareness sessions on muscular dystrophy and early care
  • Members and families welcomed with floral gifts and honoured guests
