Nutrition & Osteoarthritis
In this video, PhysioMotion’s Founder Panda Li introduces our nutrition team and explains our progressive approach to the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) with nutrition and supplementation. Panda describes how using a personalised and science-based holistic approach to assessment and treatment is key to effective outcomes.
Our Physiotherapy and Nutritional specialists use a defined objective clinical pathway to ascertain how different aspects of nutritional health are interconnected.
We show how nutrition affects inflammatory processes in the body, which has a direct link to OA.
We know that changes in the gut microbiome have an effect on the gut-joint axis to increased body mass index (BMI).
The latter can be related to non-optimal pressure on joints which contributes to further inflammation through increased cytokines production.
We highlight the importance of proper nutrition and that targeted nutrient substrates through supplementation can help reduce pain, inflammation and induce cartilage repair.
