Nutrition and Physical Therapy

Good nutrition and diet is an essential part of staying healthy and active. Poor nutrition can be harmful to kids, adults and seniors. Poor eating habits include not eating enough, over eating, and not eating enough healthy foods which provide your body with water, fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. Poor nutrition may reduce your ability to live an enjoyable and active lifestyle. 

Poor nutrition may lead to minor or severe causes, such as

• Stress
• Overweight/underweight
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Tiredness
• Stroke
• Heart disease
• Osteoporosis
• Some cancers
• Depression
• Eating disorders

Eating smart and being active are important to being and staying healthy at any age. Physical activity and a balanced diet may help with reducing the risk of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and prevent weight gain or promote weight loss. Physical activity can improve your quality of life, personal appearance, encourage friends and family, and enhance fitness.

If you or a loved one is struggling from poor nutrition and lack of energy, physical therapy may be what you need. Physical therapists are movement experts. Physical therapists evaluate and consult with their patients to learn about their physical condition and symptoms. Your physical therapist will develop a unique treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and teach you how to properly use therapeutic exercise techniques while keeping track of your goals and progress.
