We have a purposely designed gymnasium on site allowing people to work in a personalised environment with access to our allied health team.
Our approach to rehabilitation is backed by research as the most effective in helping patients recover strength and function sooner.
There is strong clinical evidence demonstrating that the right exercise prescription , that is physical activity being prescribed at the appropriate Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type, can help to best manage many health aspects associated with Diabetes:
- Improving blood glucose levels
- Improving body composition - the ratio of lean muscle mass and body fat
- Reducing waist circumference
- Improving cholesterol
- Managing blood pressure
It is well documented that managing these aspects of our health significantly reduces the risk of diabetes related complications and helps to set you up for success.
We appreciate that working with evidence is very important, what we equally acknowledge, is that living with a chronic condition is also challenging emotionally. It is for this reason that our approach is considerate of this.
We understand that living with Type 1 is filled with challenges, particularly around exercise and the fears associated with having a 'hypo'. We work the best in the business as far as organisations and advocates go, to best understand all elements of this condition to ensure that we can help you best!
Our team is trained and ready to help you design and implement a safe and effective exercise plan to ensure you remain active and healthy! We can also help with advice if that's what you feel you need - our most common questions we get asked are:
- 'Can I exercise with Type 1 Diabetes'
- 'When should I exercise and what are the normal ranges for my blood sugars before, during and after exercise'
- 'When should I cease exercising', and
- 'How should I treat a hypo if this happens during exercise'
