Chronic Disease Management

Exercise Physiology plays a vital role in managing chronic disease by addressing the physiological and functional components of your body. Exercise Physiologists know how the body works and how exercise interacts with diseases.
 
Prevention is always better than cure, Exercise can reduce multiple risk factors associated with heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer. 

Exercise and mental health

Depression and Anxiety 

Exercise can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. One way it does this is by stimulating the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins and increasing levels of serotonin and dopamine which play a key role in mood regulation. 

sugar

Diabetes

Exercise can help regulate blood sugar levels by improving muscles response to insulin,  enhancing insulin sensitivity and aids in the regulation of blood glucose levels which has a direct positive impact for those with Type 2 Diabetes.

Autoimmune Disorders

Chronic inflammation is a common factor in many chronic diseases, including autoimmune disorders and metabolic syndromes like Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Myositis and Polymyalgia. Exercise helps with these conditions as it has anti-inflammatory effects on the body.
