Re: Performing nutrition training as part of home program

[Guest guest]

I am reluctant to give advice regarding nutrition as well for the same reasons.

However since I am very interesetd in this subject personally and follow the

subject closely I realize most (not all) dieticians follow the old dogma

perpetuated by the USDA. These recomendations may not be anywhere close to

ideal for many individuals.

My question to the group is this. Is it possible for a PT to obtain additional

training in this area and therefore be considered proficient?

training. If so, do they use the assistance of a nutritionist or dietician??

If feel this is an important component of physical therapy and would like to do

more of it during the preparation of a complete home program
