This article examines the applicability of the Kaiut Yoga method as an adaptive somatic practice for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with emphasis on neurosensory reorganization and autonomic modulation mechanisms. The technique, centered on sustained joint mobility and repetitive, accessible positioning, operates through proprioceptive and sensorimotor pathways to induce adaptive neural plasticity. Drawing from both scientific literature and documented clinical observations, the study explores the hypothesis that regular practice may contribute to the stabilization of physiological processes involved in metabolic regulation. Rather than offering therapeutic promises, the article argues for a neurophysiologically plausible role of Kaiut Yoga as a complementary intervention. The conceptual integration of neuroscience, metabolic physiology, and somatic organization positions the method within a broader interdisciplinary care model.
