DIET, DISORDERS AND
PHYSIOTHERAPY: THINGS YOU
SHOULD KNOW
• There is a common misconception that physiotherapy is in the same
category with less proven ‘alternative medicines’. However, there is
now enough evidence to back up the actual health benefits of it,
especially when taking into account diet. Because physiotherapy is
known to empower the patient and help them take matters into their
own hands, professionals should factor in the dietary side as well.
• Blood flow is of utter importance, as low levels can increase the
possibility of developing cardiovascular diseases, or
musculoskeletal disorders . Physiotherapeutic exercises can
promote an increase in blood flow, and in combination with the right
aliments, it has the potential to help the circulation to muscles and
develop or expand exercise tolerance. For instance, it has been
proven that consuming orange juice daily for four weeks can
decrease blood pressure and have anti-inflammatory effects. Beet
juice consumption reduced hypertension considerably in just 24
hours. Alongside physiotherapy training, these can stimulate the
central nervous system and improve brain function.
