Free Seminar on "New Knee Health Knowledge" to Be Held in Nagoya on July 16 (Thu): Before You Dismiss Pain as "Just Aging"—89% Participant Satisfaction Rate※

Kasei-kai Medical Corporation Nagoya Knee Clinic (located in Naka-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; Director: Akinori Hattori) will host a free seminar titled "Let's Learn! New Common Knowledge About Knee Health" on Thursday, July 16, 2026, at Chubu Hall & Conference (Naka-ku, Nagoya City) for individuals suffering from knee pain and their families.

As Japan's population ages, knee pain has become a common issue affecting quality of life (QOL) and health expectancy. However, many people continue to suffer without adequate information or treatment options, often accepting pain as "inevitable due to aging." This seminar will feature clear, easy-to-understand explanations from a physician and a physical therapist on the causes of knee pain, current treatment options, and self-care techniques that can be performed at home.

※89% participant satisfaction rate: Percentage of respondents who answered "satisfied" or "very satisfied" in post-seminar surveys from events held on February 21 and March 21, 2026 (100 out of 112 responses).
