25.01.2022 Exercise Doesn’t Have to be Nuts Stay in bed, take it easy, relax, put your feet up. Too often this is the advice that people give to men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Although it is important to listen to your body, research indicates that exercise plays an incredibly crucial role during the treatment process, as well as aiding recovery post treatment Exercise has been shown to assist in reducing the number and severity of treatment-related side effects These m...ay include poor sleep, fatigue, muscle loss, reduced bone mineral density, and anxiety What sort of exercise? Okay I get it, exercise is good. But where do I start? Both aerobic based and resistance (strength based) exercise is recommended and safe for men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Aerobic type exercise may include going for a walk with a mate or kicking the football around. Due to bone-density loss occasionally presenting after treatment, it is important to incorporate bone loading exercises in order to stunt or slow the rate of BMD loss. . An initial example of this is a ‘heel drop’. As seen in the clip, goal of the exercise is to rise on to the ball of your foot, and forcefully drop the heel back to the ground loading the bones of lower leg. . Progression from the heel drop to a level 2 bone loading exercise is the ‘stomp step-up’ This exercise is performed similar a regular step up, however the aim of this exercise is to exaggerate the step by stomping the support leg, then stepping up. .

25.01.2022 ACL Introduction The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize your knee joint. The ACL connects your thighbone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia) ACL Injuries are common amongst athletic populations, particularly when the event / sport involves sharp pivoting such as AFL, Soccer, Netball, etc ... A large majority, up to 75% of ruptures involve minimal or no contact when the injury occurs. Pivoting, rapid deceleration, cutting and changing direction as well as landing from a jump have all been associated with ACL injury This week at EHA we take an in depth look at early, mid and late stage rehabilitation and which exercises may be suitable for your current level of strength and function . #exerciseyourhealth #ACL #theEHAway #bettereveryday #rehab #livebettertoday #exerciseyourhealth #movementismedicine

Here we can see Katelyn demonstrating a few simple mobility exercises that challenge the flexors and extensors of the hip, lumbar, and thoracic region (Downw...ard dog and Cobra) Followed by the 4-point ‘thread the needle’ as well as the supine ’90-90’ exercise.
