Men's Health Week is a crucial reminder for men to prioritise their health and overcome their unique challenges when seeking medical attention.

Startling statistics show that men are 50%* less likely than women to seek medical attention, resulting in missed opportunities for early intervention and preventative care discussions.

Many people in Australia visit their general practitioners due to OA, and it is a leading cause of reduced physical activity among older individuals. But let's focus on the positive side. While OA involves changes in the structure of the cartilage and affects the joint capsule, ligaments, muscles, and bones, it doesn't mean you have to give up on being active.
