PSA: Movember money and University of Calgary offers Calgary prostate cancer survivors free activity programs

/EINPresswire.com/ -- CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - October 18, 2016) - University of Calgary Kinesiology researcher Dr. Nicole Culos-Reed is helping Alberta men recover from prostate cancer by putting the "Move" in Movember. Her group has partnered with City of Calgary Recreation and the South Health Campus YMCA to offer free physical activity programs throughout Calgary. These 12-week evidence-based group activity and yoga programs, offered by TrueNTH LM address many issues a prostate cancer survivor may face, including fatigue, deconditioning and incontinence.

The free programs for survivors are offered at Southland and Village Square Leisure Centres, Sir Winston Churchill Aquatic & Recreation Centre, and the South Health Campus YMCA. Additional programs are offered in Edmonton, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, and Grande Prairie. Support persons can pay to join the program, and survivors can continue beyond the initial 12-weeks in a fee-based program. Additional support is available through the website, lifestyle.truenth.ca, to support men in rural locations or those who wish to engage in activity on their own.

To register for a program or to get more information, phone 403-210-8482 or email lifestyle@truenth.ca.
