Ons skuif ons fokus die maand so bietjie terug op die manne in ons lewens en ons vier Movember.

Waarvoor is Movember?

Ons manne groei "moustaches"(snorre) die maand om die belangrikheid van Men's Health te "bemark" en te vier.

Gesondheidskwessies soos Urologiese kondisies, Geestesgesondheid asook fisiese en algehele gesondheid is ons fokus die maand.

It’s more than a moustache — it’s a movement.

The condition progresses in three stages: freezing (painful), frozen (adhesive) and thawing, and is often self-.limiting. Common conservative treatments include nonsteroidal anti-.inflammatory drugs, oral glucocorticoids, intra-.articular glucocorticoid injections and/or physical therapy. However, many physicians may find themselves limited to prescribing medications for treatment.

Physiotherapy helps by:

✅ Reducing pain and swelling
