The event was held in collaboration with the Community Welfare Division of Tha Sala Subdistrict Municipality and the Elderly Club of Tha Sala Subdistrict Municipality, at the main hall of Tha Sala Subdistrict Municipality, Tha Sala District, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The activities included demonstrations of daily exercises with simple stretching poses that could be performed while sitting on a chair. This approach was chosen because elderly individuals often experience muscle stiffness from prolonged sitting, and the stiffness of muscles and joints increases the risk of injury during movement. The project aimed to promote appropriate health for daily life, social engagement, and the sustainable care of the elderly in the Tha Sala Subdistrict Municipality community, aligning with Walailak University&#8217;s concept, which is crucial in supporting Thailand&#8217;s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img
