Preeti Pandey.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders are characterized by pain and loss of physical function in the body, which limits a person’s activities and restricts their participation in society. Emerging evidences indicates that obesity may also have a profound effect on soft tissue structures, such as tendon, fascia and cartilage. Excess weight puts added stress on joints, particularly knees, causing pain and worsening arthritis damage. Therefore lose weight in case of obese arthritis patient is equally important as the part of their disease management. But obesity intervention typically results on early rapid weight loss followed by a weight plateau and progressive regain. That’s why treatment of obesity requires ongoing clinical attention and weight maintenance specific counselling to support sustainable healthful behaviors and positive weight regulation. We report here about a recently conducted workshop which was focused upon effective weight reduction strategies useful for arthritis patients. This workshop was first of its kind conducted across the prevailing rheumatology practice prevailing in the country.
