The benefits of exercise are well recognised especially for men undergoing prostate surgery or hormone treatment. We provide twice weekly exercise sessions led by qualified exercise physiologist. It is a professional evidence-based program designed for men with prostate cancer and comprises exercises for pelvic floor, balance and core, strength and weight-bearing.
