Introduction
Consuming a suboptimal diet is an important, preventable risk factor for various non-communicable diseases that are commonly encountered by physiotherapists in clinical practice. Because diet can have such a significant impact on patients’ ability to engage in rehabilitation and their overall outcomes, it is beneficial for rehabilitation practitioners to understand the relationship between nutrition and disease processes and when to refer to other practitioners when needed.
