Health Talk: Get to Know Muscle and Connective Tissue Diseases

Without realizing it, almost all of our daily activities involve muscles and joints. However, many people still do not fully understand how to take proper care of them. To raise awareness, PT Bintang Toedjoe together with PT Saka Farma Laboratories organized an online Health Talk titled “Get to Know Muscle and Connective Tissue Diseases” on February 12, 2026.

The session featured dr. Guntur Utama Putera, an Orthopedic Specialist from Columbia Asia Pulomas Hospital, who discussed different types of muscles, common disorders, and preventive measures to avoid muscle and joint injuries. The session was interactive and concluded with a Q&A segment, allowing participants to directly consult about conditions commonly experienced in daily activities.

As a closing, dr. Guntur introduced the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) as an initial treatment that can be applied when experiencing muscle or joint injuries.

Through this health talk, it is hoped that Kalbe employees will become more mindful of their muscle and joint health, enabling them to stay active, productive, and reduce the risk of future injuries.
