HDB Financial Services organized a Physiotherapy and Health Clinic for Truck Drivers
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 9: On the global observance of World Physiotherapy Day, HDB Financial Services (HDBFS), India’s leading NBFC, takes the opportunity to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of truck drivers by organising free physiotherapy camps for the community. The camps are organised under HDB’s flagship CSR Program – Transport Aarogyam Kendra (TAK).
With the objective of enhancing their physical well-being, promoting flexibility, strengthening core muscles and preventing injuries related to prolonged sitting, HDBFS is conducting free physiotherapy sessions exclusively for truck drivers at 35 major transport nagars across 14 states.
The camps are carried out in collaboration with transporters, industry associations, and NGOs, emphasising truck drivers’ well-being. Therapists offer counseling on ergonomic sitting, stretches, and exercises, promoting health awareness and advocating for rest breaks. The truckers are provided with treatments using specialised equipment and are encouraged to have follow-up visits.
Commenting on the initiative, Ajay Thakur, Head Asset Finance HDB Financial Services, said, “World Physiotherapy Day recognises the crucial role that physiotherapy plays in ensuring the well-being of individuals, especially those in physically demanding occupations like truck driving. Transport Aarogyam Kendra is a unique CSR program designed to encourage and support the health and well-being of our highway heroes. Given the overwhelming response received from the trucking community, HDB shall continue its efforts to reach out to many more truck drivers in the years to come and collectively take steps towards a healthier and more comfortable journey on the road.”
