Entitled, ‘Steps For Healthier Bones,’ the initiative will run from October 5 until October 11 at the Festival Centre, Dubai Festival City.

Enthusiasts will participate by walking on treadmills and will have the number of steps counted under the programme to judge their bone and muscle health.

“Musculoskeletal ailments are a serious concern which is why we thought this would help raise awareness. Educating the public about bone health and safety, as well as leading healthier lifestyles, will help curb the rising incidence of bone-related injuries and ailments,” said Suzanne Al Houby, Vice-president, Dubai Bone and Joint Centre.
