Uniting Against Arthritis:
The Movement is Life Initiative

Arthritis affects more than 180 million people in India, making it one of the country’s most common health conditions. Yet awareness remains low compared to other diseases like diabetes or cancer.

Recognizing this gap, Dr. S. Arumugam, Senior Orthopedic Consultant and Surgeon at Chennai Ortho, launched the Movement Is Life initiative. His goal: to spread awareness about arthritis prevention and empower individuals with science-backed strategies to stay active, independent, and pain-free.
