On World Cerebral Palsy Day 2020 (6th Oct 2020), Ari Foundation conducted free webinar on "Vethasatthi Varmam Therapy (Marma Chikitsa) for Cerebral Palsy" for the parents of children affected by cerebral palsy.

Through the webinar, Dr. N.Shunmugom, Ph.D.(Tamil),  Chief Mentor, Ari Foundation, taught parents of special children in vethasatthi varmam therapy protocol applicable for cerebral palsy.

If special children parents can do these varmam stimulations on their kid everyday, we strongly believe that it will improve their kids health condition compared to their current condition.
