Educational Visit by Physiotherapy Department Students to New Zhyar High School

On Sunday, October 26, 2025, fourth-year Physiotherapy students from Cihan University conducted an educational visit to New Zhyar High School as part of their community health awareness initiative. The group was warmly received by Dr. Raswl Hamad, the school’s Human Resources Director, who expressed appreciation for the collaboration aimed at promoting student health and well-being.

During the visit, an educational seminar titled “Faulty Posture” was delivered to 12th-grade students, emphasizing its definition, causes, classification, and consequences on musculoskeletal health. The session also addressed therapeutic interventions and preventive strategies to reduce posture-related disorders, which are increasingly common among adolescents.

The seminar, presented by Mr. Zhyar Anwar, offered a detailed explanation of postural deviations such as kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis, flat back, and forward head posture. It combined theoretical knowledge with practical demonstrations of corrective and strengthening exercises to improve spinal alignment and postural stability.

Students actively participated through discussions and Q&A sessions, demonstrating curiosity and enthusiasm in understanding the relationship between posture, body mechanics, and overall health. The event concluded with an engaging dialogue between the university team and the school administration, exploring future collaboration opportunities in health promotion, posture screening, and ergonomic education.
