The commemoration of Men’s Health Week in Australia this June is the perfect time to spotlight the unique health challenges faced by Aussie men, and more importantly, how we can address them. At Healthstin Sans Souci, we offer solutions by providing tailored support through Exercise Physiology and Hydrotherapy that promote strength, mobility, and overall wellbeing.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, men are more likely than women to experience chronic illness, engage in risky behaviours, and pass away prematurely from preventable diseases. These trends highlight a pressing need for targeted, proactive health support – and that’s where Allied Health can play a crucial role.
Why focus on Men’s Health?
The statistics tell a compelling story:
- 70% of Australian men are overweight or obese
- 1 in 3 men over 45 live with persistent musculoskeletal pain
- According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, about 75.1% of adult Aussie men do not meet the exercise guidelines (at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week, along with muscle-strengthening activities on at least two days per week).
Despite these numbers, many men delay seeking help – whether due to stigma, lack of time, or simply not knowing where to start. A study published in BMC Public Health found that 68% of Australian men reported delaying or avoiding visiting a doctor or health professional at least some of the time. That’s why Men’s Health Week is such an important reminder: early intervention can change lives.
Exercise Physiology: A game-changer for men
At Healthstin Sans Souci, our Accredited Exercise Physiologists work closely with male clients to design evidence-based programmes that improve physical function, manage chronic conditions, and support long-term health.
Whether you're returning to work after injury, managing diabetes, or simply looking to build resilience and mobility as you age, our Allied Health Team is here to guide you.
Hydrotherapy pool near me: Harnessing the power of water
Hydrotherapy is an excellent option for men who prefer a low impact but highly effective form of rehab and exercise. Exercising in warm water reduces stress on the joints whilst increasing strength, balance, and flexibility – ideal for older men or those recovering from injury.
Located within community-friendly aquatic and wellness hubs, Healthstin Sans Souci is perfectly placed to help men access the care they need, right when they need it. Healthstin offers immediate availability and no long waitlists, access to a well-equipped gym and Hydrotherapy pool facilities, and funding options through NDIS, Medicare, DVA, workers’ compensation, Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), Home Care Package (HSP), and private health insurance.
