Description
This foundational course introduces the fascinating world of the gut microbiome and its influence on musculoskeletal (MSK) health and sports performance. Aimed at physiotherapists, sports therapists, and rehabilitation professionals, this course explores how gut bacteria interact with exercise, muscle strength, bone density, inflammation, and recovery. Through evidence-informed content, you’ll learn how microbiota diversity, short-chain fatty acids, and microbial metabolites affect patient outcomes, physical performance, and future directions in sports rehab. With emerging research, this course offers practical insights into a new frontier in physiotherapy—gut health as a critical component of systemic and musculoskeletal wellbeing.
