Introduction

The term “gut microbiome” has gained popularity in recent clinical practice and research. But what does it actually mean, and how does it affect the health of our patients?

The human gut microbiome and its role in health and disease have been the subject of extensive research. This research has identified relationships between human metabolism, nutrition, physiology, and immune function. This course explores the current theory around the gut microbiome and overviews how it contributes to health and disease processes. Of special interest to rehabilitation professionals, this course also explores the connection between the gut microbiome and musculoskeletal conditions and rheumatic diseases.

Aims

This webinar aims to familiarise rehabilitation professionals with how gut health can affect rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.

Outline

This webinar recording consists of a 60-minute presentation, a short quiz and additional resources.
