Make a Pit Stop at Bundilla Clinic for Men’s Health Week 2010.
Mooloolaba, Qld 4 June 2010 – To the guys on the Sunshine Coast - Is your ‘registration’ up for renewal? Would you pass a personal ‘roadworthy’ test? Now is the perfect time to make an appointment for your Pit Stop Men’s Health Check.
 Men’s Health Week June 14 - 20 aims to raise awareness of the state of men’s health and lifestyle in Australia and this year Bundilla Clinic is encouraging men to be proactive about their health and have a Pit Stop Men’s Health Check.
In today’s society, men are more reluctant than women to take control of their health and wellbeing, which can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle and preventable illness. Statistics show that in almost all areas of health, men have higher and younger mortality rates than women. Five men die each hour from conditions that are potentially preventable, and in 2006 more than 48,000 men developed diseases such as type 2 diabetes and even prostate cancer (now the most diagnosed cancer in Australia per year). The risk of these could have been reduced with a simple yearly check up by your GP.
It’s time to take a proactive role in maintaining your health and wellbeing. The Pit Stop Men’s Health Check focuses on general health and encouraging men to maintain their health (in the same way they maintain and service their vehicles) placing importance on regular ‘mechanical tune-ups’.
The Pit Stop will include a check up of men’s:
- Chassis (hip to waist ratio)
- Torsion (flexibility)
- Exhaust (smoking)
- Fuel additives (alcohol consumption)
- Oil Pressure (blood pressure)
- Spark Plugs (testicles)
- Duco (skin cancer)
- Extractor – (colorectal cancer)
- Shock absorbers (coping skills)
Appointments can be made with Dr. Emile Brits at Bundilla Clinic for the Pit Stop Men’s Health Check from June 14 – 18 between 8:30am and 5pm. On Wednesday June 16, Dr. Brits will be available for appointments until 7pm for those guys who can’t visit him during normal opening times.
