Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While medication and dietary changes are crucial components of diabetes management, exercise plays a pivotal role in controlling blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity and supporting long-term health management.
Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain, also known as persistent pain, is a complex and often misunderstood condition. Unlike acute pain, which typically results from an injury and resolves as the body heals, chronic pain lingers for months or even years, often with no clear cause. One of the challenges with chronic pain is that it doesn't always have a clear or identifiable cause. Our experienced Osteopaths, Podiatrists and Exercise Physiologist may help relieve and manage your pain with treatment, advice and exercise prescription.

Osteoporosis: How can exercise help to build strong bones?
It’s estimated that osteoporosis affects over 1 million Australians and is most common in post-menopausal women, with 1 in 4 women aged over 75 being diagnosed. After menopause, lower levels of oestrogen result in increased bone resorption as opposed to bone formation, placing women at a higher risk. Osteoporosis is often referred to as the ‘silent disease’ as it usually has no symptoms until a fracture occurs.
