The Hindu is hosting a webinar on ‘Modern Day Posture Tips’. The webinar will be held on Sunday, October 25, 2026 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

With long hours spent sitting at a desk, using digital devices and working in fixed positions, posture and spinal health have become important aspects of everyday health. The webinar will explore how everyday habits, workplace ergonomics and physical inactivity affect the spine, and discuss practical ways to prevent and manage common problems such as back pain, neck pain and stiffness.

The discussion will cover the effect of prolonged sitting and poor posture on the spine and joints, the importance of movement and exercise, and simple ergonomic adjustments that can be made at home and at work. It will also explore how to differentiate everyday muscle discomfort from pain that may be associated with underlying joint or inflammatory conditions, common myths and fallacies related to posture, and when persistent back or neck pain requires medical attention.

Panelists for the webinar include: Chetan. S. Pophale, Consultant – Spine Surgeon, Apollo Specialty Hospitals, OMR, Chennai and AB Govindaraj, Clinical Director and Principal Consultant, Department of Orthopaedics, MGM Healthcare, Chennai. The discussion will be moderated by Athira Elssa Johnson, senior reporter at The Hindu.
