Mitsuo Ochi, president of Hiroshima University and an orthopedic surgeon, will appear on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), airing at 1 PM on June 10th.
Before becoming president of the university, Dr. Ochi led a busy life as an orthopedic surgeon. He has been involved in the treatment of top athletes in sports such as baseball and soccer for many years, and has also developed a regenerative medicine technique for knee cartilage to treat knee pain, which is considered a national ailment. This technique is now covered by insurance and is widely used to treat knee pain.
As a "knee specialist," she introduces exercises and other methods to help you continue walking on your own two feet throughout your life. While you often hear people say you need to walk thousands of steps, she emphasizes that consistency is more important than the number of steps. She also shares her secrets to walking healthily until you're 100 years old.
Aiming to become a university of peace, he also spoke of his aspirations for the younger generation who will bear the responsibility for peace, including organizing study tours of Hiroshima for students from both Japan and abroad.
