INTERNATIONAL DAYAWARENESS

World Knee Day

Every year on October 25, a new global observance asks us to pay attention to the joints that carry us through life. Knee pain is one of the most common threats to mobility in the world, yet it is so often dismissed as a normal part of aging. This day challenges that quiet neglect and invites everyone to protect their knees early.
