Nordic Walking  for  Prostate Cancer

Support your Recovery

Nordic walking uses specialised poles to turn walking into a highly effective, full-body workout. For those managing prostate cancer, it offers unique benefits.

Key Benefits

• Combats Treatment Fatigue: Engaging 90% of your muscles boosts energy levels and cardiovascular health. 

• Protects Bone Density: The weight-bearing nature of Nordic walking, combined with the extra resistance from the poles, helps combat bone thinning caused by hormone therapy.

• Enhanced Weight Management: Burn more calories, helping to manage weight changes associated with treatment.

• Better Balance & Stability: The poles provide four points of contact with the ground, reducing the load on your knees and improving stability.

• Core Strength & Posture: The technique naturally encourages you to stand taller, strengthening the core and supporting pelvic health.

• Mental Well-being: Often done outdoors and in groups, reducing stress and anxiety while connecting with others.
