In this episode of Talkin’ Toowoomba, I sit down with Corey Pendlebury from Men’s Health Physiotherapy Toowoomba to explore the often-overlooked challenges men face during and after prostate cancer treatment. Corey breaks down the vital role physiotherapy plays before and after surgery or radiation, helping men manage bladder control, pelvic floor function, sexual recovery, and overall wellbeing.

We also discuss why early preparation matters, how telehealth is helping regional blokes access specialised care, and the importance of a strong support network, from urologists and specialist nurses through to allied health professionals. Corey offers practical, evidence-based guidance on pelvic floor exercises, recovery timelines, and the emotional and social impacts that come with prostate cancer.

This episode shines a light on holistic care, informed decision-making, and the importance of having real conversations about men’s health.
