Benefits of Exercise.

In Australia, one person is diagnosed with diabetes every 5 minutes.  Once diagnosed with diabetes, a person is faced with managing their condition and preventing complications. Management is usually a combination of physical activity, eating health, medications (if needed) and regular health checks.

Exercise and physical activity is an integral part of diabetes management. Not only can exercise slow the progression of diabetes, it can also reduce the risk of developing associated complications. Accredited Exercise Physiologists are the best health professional to develop an exercise program to help manage your diabetes. Programs will be individualised to you based on other health concerns you may have. The benefits of exercise far outweigh the risks and our in depth assessments will ensure you are doing the right type of exercise for you.
