Beating Type 2 Diabetes with Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy isn’t usually something you would
think of in relation to Diabetes; but did you know that
exercise could help you to preventing the onset of Type
2 Diabetes? This is especially true for those that are
at a high risk of developing this increasingly common
disease.
 Nearly 100,000 people in Western
Australia are living with Diabetes.
The American Diabetes Association has estimated that
the national cost of Diabetes in America is over 174
billion dollars. One out of every five dollars spent
on healthcare is used for caring for someone who is suffering
from Diabetes.
Exercise has a positive effect
on Diabetes.
Aerobic exercise and resistance training can help people
with Diabetes.
Here at Central City Health Professionals
we can help you control Type 2 Diabetes.
Did you know that Type 2 Diabetes is by and large a
very preventable disease? Around 9 out of every 10 cases
could be avoided just by taking some of the following
simple steps:
1. Regular exercise
2. Quit smoking
3. Maintain a healthy weight
4. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet
This is where we can help
Recent studies undertaken by the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) have found that lifestyle changes play
a huge role in preventing Diabetes. This is done by helping
people to develop a safe exercise program.
The best ways to prevent Diabetes is to maintain a healthy
body weight and to be physically fit. If you are currently
overweight or obese and are worried about developing
Diabetes, we can help you to begin an exercise program.
We can design a safe, low impact
form of weight training.
We use low-weight, high-repetition exercise bands. This
type of exercise helps to avoid placing any unnecessary
stress on your joints. Tai Chi and modified Yoga stretches
are other ways that we can help to promote flexibility
and relaxation. As you begin to lose weight and your
fitness improves, we can increase the intensity of your
workout program.
We are expertly trained in balancing
the intensity of the exercise with safety and joint
protection.
We know that this will help you to relax and enjoy you’re
exercise program. It helps to encourage a lifelong commitment
to exercising, which will in turn enable you to maintain
a healthy body weight.
What's weight got to do with it?
Due to impaired strength and flexibility we are at a
much higher risk of suffering a physical injury while
exercising when we are overweight. It is extremely important
to work with an expert in motion, who can develop a safe
and thorough exercise program for your specific needs.
Here at Central City Health Professionals, we
understand the difficulties you are facing. We can
set you up with and guide you through a specific exercise
program.
This could be the bit of help you need and the difference
