Nutrition is important for all of us, but for some people nutrition can be vital to the management of their condition. At Royal Rehab Petersham, our dieticians assess your health, your condition and how nutrition can help.
Your diet, nutritional intake and liquid intake can all be affected by your disability, illness, or injury in several ways. If you have difficulty swallowing food or fluids safely, it may be difficult to maintain adequate nutritional intake and hydration. This can lead to weight loss, fatigue, dehydration, and muscle wasting.
Our dietitians can help you improve your digestion, food and fluid intake and aid your development with the right nutritional plan to suit you.
Benefits include:
Our team can assist you with any dietary or nutritional issues you may have, and work closely with you and the other therapists to modify your diet, optimise your nutritional intake and help ensure your weight remains at a healthy level.
We will also provide you with safe eating methods and practices as well as education on dietary recommendations that you can put to practice out in the community.
Under the guidance of a specialised dietitian, a curated diet can help you on your path to becoming healthier and happier.
