Type 2 Diabetes Physiotherapy Program

The Type 2 Diabetes Physiotherapy Program at Modern Sports Physio and Wellness Centre is a comprehensive and customized rehabilitation plan designed to aid individuals living with Type 2 diabetes. We understand that managing this condition extends beyond diet and medication, and regular physical activity plays a key role in maintaining blood glucose levels. 

Our physiotherapist, Vicki, works closely with our clients to develop individualized exercise plans that are safe, effective, and enjoyable. The program is structured to improve cardiovascular fitness, increase muscle strength, enhance flexibility, and help control blood sugar levels. Ultimately, our goal is to empower you to stay active and manage your Type 2 diabetes through physiotherapy.

During your first appointment for the Type 2 Diabetes Physiotherapy Program, you will undergo a comprehensive assessment. This will include a discussion about your medical history, your current level of physical activity, your lifestyle, and your specific goals. Our physiotherapist will perform a physical examination to assess your strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, and other relevant factors. This information will be used to create a tailored exercise program that aligns with your needs and goals. 

We believe in creating a supportive environment, so you will have ample opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns you may have. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in your journey towards better health.

Physiotherapy is beneficial for managing several symptoms and health risks associated with Type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise under the guidance of a trained physiotherapist can help reduce blood glucose levels, aiding in the overall management of the disease. The fatigue often experienced by individuals with Type 2 diabetes can also be mitigated through low-impact exercises aimed at boosting energy levels. Structured physical activity can positively impact weight management, a common struggle for many living with diabetes, and reduce the risk of obesity. 

Furthermore, individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, and regular exercise can significantly lower this risk by improving heart health. Lastly, physiotherapy can improve peripheral neuropathy symptoms, like numbness, tingling, or pain in the extremities, by enhancing circulation and nerve function. 

At Modern Sports Physio and Wellness Centre, we aim to work with you to decrease these symptoms and improve your overall health and quality of life.
