Movember: More Than a Moustache

Did you know?
- In South Africa, 1 in 16 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
- Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men over 40, both locally and globally.
- Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men under 40.
- South Africa has the 10th highest su***de rate in the world, and 79% of those affected are men.

Men often feel pressure to “stay strong” but silence can be dangerous. It’s time to talk, check, and take action.

This Movember, the Pelvic & Women’s Health Physiotherapy Group (PWHPG) encourages all men to:
- Do regular self “nuts & bolts” checks.
- Get annual PSA blood tests after age 40 (earlier if you have a family history).
- Reach out for support, physiotherapy can help with incontinence, pelvic pain, recovery after cancer, and returning to exercise safely.

Let’s start conversations that save lives.
Because men’s health is more than physical, it’s mental, emotional, and vital.

✅ Tailored exercise helps manage heart disease and recovery after cardiac events
✅ Staying active boosts energy, mood and overall quality of life

Movement is medicine for your lungs. Ask your physio for help if you are struggling with a lung condition.

🌍💨 World Lung Day 💨🌍

Your lungs work tirelessly every day to keep you moving, breathing and living well. Physiotherapists play a key role in helping people strengthen their lungs, improve breathing, manage conditions such as asthma, COPD and post-COVID symptoms, and maintain overall health.

This World Lung Day, take a deep breath, get moving and remember that movement is medicine for your lungs.

👩‍⚕️ Speak to your physiotherapist for personalised exercises to support healthy breathing.

If you have chronic pain or inflammation, it might be an idea to keep a food diary. Some foods contribute to inflammation in the body. Common culprits are dairy and sugar but everyone is different so keep a diary and see if you see a pattern. Reducing or eliminating that food (sometimes just for a short time) can be helpful.

Wow. This is quite an amazing breakthrough. Treating the vagus nerve is such a useful tool in so many conditions but I never thought it would be used in spinal injuries. Earlier this year we partook in the "Wings for life" race in Cape Town. 100% of the proceeds go to funding great research like this. Please join us next year 🤩

We are a not-for-profit foundation. Our mission is to find a cure for spinal cord injury. We fund life-changing research with your donation. Please support us.
