  • Physiotherapists Explain How Pain Can Be Treated Without Painkillers

    New Delhi, Feb 16: With chronic back and joint pain increasingly common among working professionals, the shift toward non-pharmacological pain management is gaining momentum among physiotherapists. The focus is on restoring function, improving mobility, and reducing discomfort.

    Global research indicates that up to 70–80% of adults experience it at least once in their lifetime, and physiotherapy-based interventions are known to provide significant improvement for a large proportion of cases. More than half of chronic back pain patients can be managed effectively without long-term dependence on pain medication, a study suggests. 

    According to Dr. Dharam P. Pandey, Managing Director, APARC Healthcare, said: “Pain is often a sign that the body’s mechanics are off balance — weak muscles, poor posture, or restricted joints. Through progressive strengthening, flexibility drills, aerobic conditioning, and joint mobilization, we help patients move better and feel better. The goal isn’t just pain relief, but restoring daily function.”

    Physiotherapy blends therapeutic exercise, manual techniques, and non-invasive modalities to relieve pain and improve mobility. Strengthening and flexibility exercises reduce stiffness, build support around affected joints, and stimulate the body’s natural pain-regulating mechanisms. 

    Hands-on manual therapy, including soft tissue work, myofascial release, and joint mobilization, eases tension and restores movement. Tools such as TENS, ultrasound, heat, cold therapy, and dry needling help control inflammation and modulate pain without pharmacological intervention. Patients are also guided on posture, ergonomics, pacing, and stress management to prevent recurrent flare-ups and support long-term recovery.

    While painkillers are useful during acute injury or high-intensity pain, especially where inflammation must be controlled quickly, long-term use is not without risk. Commonly used NSAIDs may lead to gastric irritation, acidity, kidney strain, or elevated cardiovascular risk when consumed frequently. Stronger medications, including opioids, may also carry dependency risks if used improperly.

    Dr. Meenakshi Rajput, HOD Physiotherapy, Jaipur Golden Hospital, Rohini, Delhi, says: “Medication certainly has a place in pain management. But physiotherapy equips individuals with tools to stabilize, strengthen, and protect their bodies, reducing reliance on medicines for chronic problems and improving long-term outcomes.” 

    Physiotherapists emphasize that chronic back and neck pain, arthritis-related stiffness, sports injuries, sciatica, and post-surgical rehabilitation respond especially well to structured physiotherapy, particularly when treatment begins early, and compliance is high.

  • Global Project Management Leaders Convene to Drive Transformation through AI and Sustainability

     Mahabalipuram, Feb 14 – Project Management Associates (PMA India), in collaboration with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), officially inaugurated the IPMA Global Project Profession Forum 2026 at the Radisson Blu Resort, Temple Bay, Mahabalipuram.

     The two-day forum, themed “Co-Creating a Global Transformation through Project Management: Embracing AI, Innovation, and Sustainability,” brings together international experts, policymakers, and industry titans to discuss the evolving landscape of global project execution.

     The inaugural session commenced with a traditional prayer and the lighting of the lamp, symbolizing the enlightenment and shared purpose of the global project management community.

     Key Highlights from the Inaugural Session

     The event featured a distinguished lineup of speakers who underscored the critical role of structured project management in achieving national and global goals. Dr. Palanivel Thiaga Rajan, Hon’ble Minister for IT & Digital Services, Govt. of Tamil Nadu, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. Prof. Dr. Mladen Vukomanovic, President of IPMA, delivered the Inaugural Address, highlighting global trends in the profession. Dr. A. Sivathanu Pillai, Padma Bhushan Awardee, President of PMA India, and Former CEO & MD of BrahMos Aerospace, delivered the welcome address. Mr. N. Ram, Director, The Hindu Group & Former Managing Director, The HIndu participated as Guest of Honour and delivered a special address.

     As a former investment banker and current policymaker, Dr. Palanivel Thiaga Rajan focused on the intersection of governance and execution excellence. He argued that while India is excellent at “envisioning” and policy-making, the primary challenge remains execution. Project management is the bridge needed to close this gap. He emphasized using “100% pure databases” and AI to democratize citizen services. He highlighted that project management principles must be applied to government schemes to ensure “last-mile” delivery. He advocated for a shift from intuitive or political decision-making to evidence-based management, where progress is measured by objective metrics rather than effort alone. He noted that as IT jobs evolve due to AI, the education system must pivot to teach children “how to think and manage” rather than just technical skills that may soon be automated.

     Prof. Dr. Mladen Vukomanovic, President, IPMA provided a global perspective on the evolving role of the project professional. He emphasized that success is no longer just about meeting time, budget, and scope. The focus must shift toward value delivery and the long-term social and economic impact of a project. He promoted the IPMA Individual Competence Baseline (ICB), arguing that “competence” involves a mix of technical skills, behavioral traits (leadership, ethics), and contextual awareness. He called for project managers to be socially responsible, viewing projects as “drivers of sustainable social change” rather than isolated engineering tasks.

    Human-Centric Leadership: Despite the rise of AI and automation, he maintained that the “human element”—making ethical calls, managing stakeholders, and gut-feeling decision-making—remains the irreplaceable core of the profession.

     Known for his leadership in the BrahMos missile program, Dr. A. Sivathanu Pillai, President, PMA India focused on Project Management for National Development. He outlined how professional project management is essential for India to reach its goal of becoming a fully developed nation by the centenary of its independence. Drawing from his experience in aerospace and defense, he advocated for the “mission-oriented” management style to tackle grand challenges like climate change, energy security, and space exploration. He emphasized that India must not just manage projects but own the technologies behind them, moving from being a technology follower to a global leader. He highlighted the role of AI, IoT, and Big Data in modernizing project management lifecycles, making them more predictable and efficient.

     Dr. S. Somanath, Former Chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), delivered a keynote address on the profound impact of space missions in fostering a robust national innovation ecosystem. Mr. Roberto Mori, Former Director, Operations & Special Projects, Tenova SpA, and Former President, IPMA, delivered a keynote address focusing on sustainable solutions for the mining and metals industry from a project management perspective.

     Awards and Recognition

     The session concluded with a prestigious ceremony conferring the IPMA Delta Certificate to NLC India Ltd. for organizational excellence. Additionally, the PMA Lifetime Achievement Award 2025 and PMA Honorary Fellowships were presented to individuals who have made monumental contributions to the field.

     The day wrapped up with a Vote of Thanks by Ms. Laura Lasaite, IPMA COO, expressing gratitude to the partners and delegates from around the world.

     

  • EQONIC GROUP Strengthens Senior Leadership Team with Two Key Appointments as it Advances Breakthrough Battery Technology

    London, Feb 13: EQONIC Group, the pioneering UK battery technology company developing lithium-free, sodium-free and rare-earth-free battery technology, today announced two significant senior leadership appointments that will strengthen its executive capabilities and governance as it scales up its operations and advance its breakthrough battery technology toward market readiness.

      John Saunders joins as an Executive Director, bringing 30 years of senior leadership across banking, regulation and law. His experience spans acquisitions, new product launches, and leading high-profile business teams, with a strong track record advising boards and senior management. His career includes senior roles at leading institutions including Coutts, Barclays, UBS and Deutsche Bank.

     Angela Knight CBE joins as Non-Executive Director adding significant governance experience and strategic insight to the board. She currently serves on boards spanning high-profile companies, financial services, and listed businesses. Her distinguished career includes serving as Chief Executive of the British Bankers’ Association, Chief Executive of Energy UK, and holding board positions at Taylor Wimpey, Tullett Prebon, Brewin Dolphin, and Arbuthnot Banking Group. She also chaired the Office of Tax Simplification and served on the Transport for London board.

     The appointments come as EQONIC continues to develop its next-generation battery technology that addresses the three critical challenges facing battery and energy storage sector: cost, safety, and sustainability. The company’s proprietary battery technology achieves materials cost savings of c70% compared to lithium batteries.

     Unlike conventional battery technologies that rely on lithium and rare-earth materials, EQONIC’s proprietary composite materials are inherently non-flammable, reducing thermal risk that has effected widespread battery adoption. The technology uses abundant materials with no rare-earth-metals, no lithium and no sodium, addressing critical supply chain vulnerabilities while maintaining complete recyclability.

     John Saunders, Executive Director at EQONIC Group said

     “EQONIC’s breakthrough technology represents a genuine paradigm shift in the battery sector. The combination of cost reduction, enhanced safety, and sustainable materials addresses the fundamental barriers that have constrained the industry. I’m excited to bring my experience to support the company’s growth trajectory as we move toward demonstrating market-ready products and securing strategic partnerships.”

     Angela Knight CBE, Non-Executive Director at EQONIC Group said:

     “EQONIC exemplifies the kind of innovative British technology that can lead global markets. The company’s approach – developing transformative technology first, then building robust commercial frameworks around it, is hugely compelling. Strong governance will be critical as EQONIC scales its business model and establishes partnerships with established OEM’s. I look forward to contributing to the board’s strategic oversight during this pivotal phase.”

     EQONIC’s accelerated R&D roadmap positions the technology to surpass sodium battery performance by 2026, exceed LFP performance by 2027, and achieve industry-leading NMC levels by 2029. The company plans to license its technology and secure collaborations with established OEM’s, reducing substantial capital risk while enabling global deployment across diverse applications and markets.

     Alongside developing its breakthrough technology, EQONIC has established a robust commercial division serving clients across multiple sectors. Demand for the company’s current range of LFP based energy storage systems has resulted in deployment across numerous projects with high-profile clients and a multi-million-pound pipeline.

     Jas Kandola, Founder and CEO of EQONIC Group, said:

     “John and Angela bring exactly the calibre of leadership we need at this critical juncture. John’s regulatory expertise and commercial acumen will be invaluable as we navigate partnerships and licensing arrangements, while Angela’s governance experience across complex, regulated industries will strengthen our board oversight. These appointments reflect our commitment to building a world-class organisation capable of delivering on the enormous potential of our technology.”

     Jas Kandola is an award-winning corporate finance professional turned sustainability entrepreneur, having spent most of his career at Barclays specialising in strategic advice to large corporate and complex markets clients.

     EQONIC’s strategic advisory board already includes Craig Wilson MBE, Non-Executive Director, who brings automotive engineering expertise from Williams Advanced Engineering, Toyota Australia, and TWR Group (Tom Walkinshaw Racing). It also includes Stuart Dyble, Non-Executive Director, with four decades of senior leadership including roles as Ford VP of European Communications and board positions at Aston Martin, Jaguar Land Rover, and Volvo.

     

  • Elite Fields Primed for 19th Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon

    Ras Al Khaimah, UAE (February 13): The Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon will return for its 19th edition tomorrow (February 14), with four races held exclusively on Al Marjan Island and an exciting elite field brimming with international experience and promising potential.

    Hosted by the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon has been a firm favourite since its launch in 2007, bringing together community runners and world-class elites alike.

    Featuring the classic titular 21.1km half marathon race, the event will also offer races at 10km, 5km and 2km for athletes of all ages and abilities.

    While three-time Half Marathon World Champion Geoffrey Kamworor of Kenya leads the male elite field with a personal best of 58:01, many of his elite rivals are well capable of edging out the 2013 RAK Half Marathon winner. Fellow Kenyan Isaia Lasoi – third in RAK in both 2024 and 2025 – has stated he wants to break the world record ‘soon’ and he returns with a personal best of 58:10.

    The Kenyan duo will be joined on the start line by 2024 Seoul Marathon winner Jemal Yimer Mekonen (58:32) – who in seven years has only once finished outside the top three in a major race – former New Delhi Half Marathon winner Amedework Walelegn (58:40), and potential superstar 20 year-old Yismaw Dillu, winner of the 2025 Cardiff Half Marathon in Wales (59:23).

    I won here 13 years ago so I have great memories of this fast course and I’d love to win again this weekend,” said Kamworor.

    Leading the women’s field is Ethiopian Wede Kafale, whose appearance at the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon will be only her second competition at the distance.

    The 25 year-old produced a fine debut performance when she was third in Copenhagen last September with 65:21, although it was not a surprise since she has a good cross country background and achieved some fine results over 10k and 10,000m on the track.

    Also in the field is Kenyan Gladys Chepkurui (65:46) who has focused on the half marathon over the past three years competing 18 times over the distance consistently producing strong results and winning in Italy, Thailand, Japan and Kenya. Her compatriot Jesca Chelangat (66:13) is another consistent top three finisher at 10km and was third in Ras Al Khaimah twelve months ago.

    Should the race produce a surprise contender, it could well come in the shape of 19 year-old Melal Siyoum. The Ethiopian teenager has competed in just one race outside her home country, finishing runner-up in a highly-competitive at the New Delhi Half Marathon last October in 67:21. Since then, she has focused on training in Addis Ababa for her next outing and she could be ready to make an impact on one of the world’s fastest half marathon courses.

    The elites get the event underway at 6.15am before the masses take on the half marathon challenge at 7.00am. The 10km Road Race will get begin at 8.30am before the 5km and 2km participants start at 10.00am.

    The 2026 Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon is also sponsored by ASICS, Channel 4 Radio Network. ITP Media Group, Bisleri and Vitamin Well.

    Feb 13: Adding to the haunting and atmospheric world of Kennedy is a powerful Night Anthem track that captures the film’s raw emotional intensity. Sung by the dynamic Vishal Dadlani, the song blends evocative vocals with a moody sonic landscape, perfectly mirroring the fractured psyche of the film’s protagonist.

Produced by Zee Studios and Good Bad Films, the film’s immersive musical landscape is further enriched by its haunting background score recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Choir, elevating the film’s brooding and atmospheric storytelling.

    Together, the song and score become integral storytelling devices, amplifying the film’s noir tonality while drawing audiences deeper into Kennedy’s dark, relentless world.
