Are you about to have, or have just had surgery for prostate cancer?
This is made for you!
This is a comprehensive prehabilitation and rehabilitation program designed for you to take at the correct stages to prepare you well for surgery / radiotherapy and also to help you recover the best.
Why do I need this?
Numerous studies have identified that having "prehabilitation" - exercise and advice, usually from a Physiotherapist, before surgery - and "rehabilitation" - exercise and advice, usually from a Physiotherapist, after surgery will significantly improve the rate of recovery following prostate cancer surgery.
It is not unusual to feel scared, overwhelmed, afraid, angry, confused.... when you are diagnosed with prostate cancer and you have to decide on treatment.
All treatment options may create new symptoms afterwards. If you are having surgical removal of the prostate you may well experience leaking of urine afterwards and also erectile dysfunction.
Understanding how the anatomy and physiology works and being able to do pelvic floor exercises correctly will really help to improve and correct these symptoms.
What do I need to learn / do before and after surgery / radiotherapy?
The more prepared and knowledgeable you are before surgery / radiotherapy the better you will cope and recover. Hopefully, you may be very lucky and come out of treatment with no or limited side effects, but if you are prepared for there to be side effects then there are no unwelcome surprises.
You need to:
- know and understand how your body heals and recovers
- know and understand how your bladder, bowel and prostate work so that you can help them continue to work well - or improve them if you already have some unwanted symptoms
- know and understand how to do pelvic floor exercises, how often, for how long and what other exercise you need to do
- know where to go for further help and what to do going forward
