Why Calories Matter in Physical Therapy:

  • Fueling Muscle Repair and Growth: Adequate calorie intake is crucial for muscle repair and growth. Protein provides the building blocks needed for recovery. This is essential after injury or surgery.
  • Supporting Energy Levels for Exercise: Enough calories give the energy needed to join in physical therapy sessions. They also allow one to do exercises actively. Low energy can hinder progress and motivation.
  • Managing Inflammation: Diet and calorie balance influence inflammation levels, impacting pain and recovery. Excessive or insufficient calories impede a healthy lifestyle, causing arthritis and other joint issues.
  • Maintaining a Healthy Weight: Maintaining a healthy weight through balanced calorie intake reduces stress on joints and muscles. This helps in recovery and prevents further complications.
  • Preventing Malnutrition and Muscle Loss: Insufficient calorie intake leads to muscle loss and hinders the body’s healing ability.
