Physiotherapy Support for Diabetes
This life-changing physiotherapy program is designed to support people living with diabetes, helping you take control of your health and improve your long-term quality of life.
If you’re living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, targeted exercise and lifestyle changes may significantly improve your overall health and help manage your condition more effectively. At St Leonards Physiotherapy, our physiotherapists have undergone accredited training in specialist physiotherapy treatment for diabetes, enabling us to deliver the nationally recognised BEAT IT program.
This evidence-based diabetes exercise and education program provides tailored support in a welcoming and supportive environment, helping you build healthy habits and reduce your risk of diabetes-related complications.
About the BEAT IT Diabetes Program
Our goal is to empower you to manage your diabetes confidently and independently. And that’s whether you’re newly diagnosed, or if you’ve been living with it for years. The BEAT IT diabetes program at St Leonards is a 10-week course that combines moderate-intensity aerobic, strength, and balance exercises with practical education on healthy living and diabetes self-management. The program gradually builds your confidence, fitness, and strength in a small-group setting with others on a similar path.
