What is the purpose of the Prostate Pro! Program?

This program is expertly designed to help men diagnosed with prostate cancer reduce the chances of cancer returning or worsening, while also minimizing issues like urinary and sexual health problems. The aim is to support them in feeling more like themselves again by getting stronger and healthier through a supervised and evidence-based exercise program.

The 1-hour classes are offered once per week on Saturday mornings at Knew Life Physiotherapy. We strongly encourage participants to engage in home exercises 2-3x per week on alternating days. A video will be provided for home practice.

The goal during these classes is to increase strength, decrease urinary leakage, and to improve cardiovascular and overall health. Exercises will be modified if they are causing leakage during class.

A pelvic floor physiotherapy assessment is required before attending to confirm that all participants are properly educated on how to perform a pelvic floor muscle contraction (or “Hegel”).

The program begins with a warmup and includes  balance, resistance and pelvic floor exercise stations, and a yin yoga cool down.

Modifications are available for beginners- ALL fitness levels are welcome!
