When your knees ache, moving may feel like the last thing you want to do, but the right kind of exercise can actually help reduce pain and improve mobility.

Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or tailored physiotherapy exercises strengthen the muscles that support your joints and help you move with more ease.

It’s not about pushing through pain, it’s about staying active, safely and consistently.
Your GP or physiotherapist can help you design an exercise plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.

Prostate health isn’t always easy to bring up, but it’s one conversation that could make all the difference.

If you’re over 50, or over 40 with a family history of prostate cancer, a simple discussion with your GP can help you understand your risks and whether a prostate check is right for you.

Early detection means more options, better outcomes, and peace of mind.
It’s not just about finding what’s wrong, it’s about protecting your future health.

Healthy bones are the foundation for staying active and independent as we age.

Simple habits, like eating calcium-rich foods, getting safe sun exposure for vitamin D, and doing weight-bearing exercise, all play an important role in protecting bone strength.

If you have risk factors such as family history, low body weight, or certain medical conditions, it’s worth speaking with your GP about a bone health check. Early action can make a difference.
