Diabetes
Exercise has been shown by research to assist with the management of diabetes. It is recommended that adults with type 2 diabetes should perform at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per day. Our exercise physiologist can help prescribe a program suitable for your levels of function, fitness levels and ensure that it is safe for you to perform.
If you have type 2 diabetes you may be eligible for a care plan that will offer a rebate for your exercise physiology sessions. Speak with your GP to find out whether you are eligible for this. Those that are eligible need to bring their form in to us for their session and in most cases we can bulk bill those sessions.

Mood and depression
Exercise is a natural anti-depressant. It can help depression by facilitating the release of endorphins, by helping to take your mind off things, improving breathing and easing sense of anxiousness.
Of course it isn't easy to start exercise when experiencing depression or depressed mood and often it's the last thing you may want to do. Getting help with an exercise physiologist to get started with your activity program can be a safe and supportive way of using exercise to help manage depression.
