Introduction

Physiotherapists provide holistically driven interventions to their clients with a primary focus on exercise. The client and all factors associated with them, including their diet, have a profound influence on the outcome of the prescribed exercise. It has been found that nutrition plays a key role in recovery from injury or disease and influences functional capacity. Thus, it is important to understand the relevance of nutrition in physiotherapy practice in order to elevate rehabilitation outcomes.
