Bad Posture Silently Damages Your Bones ...

Dr. Pal Manickam
About this episode

Why does your neck hurt after a long day of scrolling? Or does your knees crack when you climb stairs? In this episode, I sit down with renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Sathish to break down bone health, joint pain, posture problems, and so much more - especially for women, working professionals, and fitness lovers who want to stay active for life.


We also talk about knee pain, arthritis, osteoporosis, and the dangers of bad posture, including the real damage caused by things like text neck, sitting cross-legged, wearing high heels, and even using the wrong pillow and bed.


Plus, Dr. Sathish shares powerful insights into:

•⁠ ⁠Arthritis symptoms vs. regular joint pain

•⁠ ⁠Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis

•⁠ ⁠How robotic joint replacement surgery works (98% success rate!)

•⁠ ⁠Cervical spondylosis, shoulder dislocation, and sports injuries.

•⁠ ⁠Why DEXA scans are crucial after menopause

•⁠ ⁠How bone density and diet matter from your 20s

•⁠ ⁠Cracking knuckles, gas in joints, and other everyday myths

•⁠ ⁠When painkillers help and when they harm


And for all of you who’ve asked about accident first aid and CPR, we also talk about the Golden Hour after a road traffic accident, the importance of calling 108 ambulance, and how bystanders can actually save lives - no medical degree needed. (He has trained 75,000 people in CPR ).


This isn’t just a medical podcast, it’s a survival guide for your bones.


If you’re a woman over 25, dealing with knee pain, bad posture, or worried about bone strength- don’t skip this.
