The Latest in Prostate Cancer Prevention – Are You Doing Enough Exercise? By Physio Tony McNamara at Hastings Physio and Health Port Macquarie and Wauchope: Your Ultimate Physio for Men’s Health

This June 10th to 16th, Australia is recognising Men’s Health Week. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, tradie, office worker, or retired, this information is crucial for you.

Hi, I’m Tony McNamara, physiotherapist at Hastings Physio and Health Port Macquarie and Wauchope, with 35 years of experience, I like to always keep up to date with the latest research and this one on prostate cancer really stood out to me, as something we can do right now to reduce your potential risk.

The Hidden Danger: Prostate Cancer and Why You Should Care

Did you know prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia? Despite this, it only gets half the funding compared to other major cancers. But here’s the kicker – a recent study shows there might be something you can do about it.

In the latest Blue Sky News Magazine by the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA), a study of over 57,000 Swedish men has been unveiled. This research, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found a direct link between cardiorespiratory fitness and a reduction in cancer incidence and mortality. It’s the largest study ever on this topic and the first to specifically look at prostate cancer.

The Simple Secret: Keep Moving!

The message is clear: KEEP MOVING! Whether you walk, run, swim, cycle, or hit the gym, regular exercise, gardening, dancing or anything active you can reduce your cancer risk. And it’s not just cancer – fitness also boosts mental health, fights type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and more.
