Move 4 Medicine has been designed and is supervised by our very own Accredited Exercise Physiologist/Exercise Scientist, Lucy Ashby.

This program was developed by Lucy due to the alarming rate of type 2 diabetics in the Wide Bay Region with then, limited resources to manage their condition.

Being a lifestyle related condition, why not treat with positive lifestyle modification? Move4Medicine is a four (4) week ‘kick starter’ program for patients with type 2 or recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This is with the appreciation that some individuals may not have engaged in prior exercise and/or have been limited in their physical movement.

These patients are eligible for a Group Allied Health Services under Medicare for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes (81110/81115) referral.

Individuals who are classed as ‘pre-diabetic’ (with 2 or more risk factors) are also eligible to participate.

Any other conditions may be considered.

A thorough exercise function and diabetes management assessment is completed prior to entry into the group exercise sessions. These sessions are most commonly held in our gym setting.

Consideration of water-based therapy is determined case by case due to limited availability.
