NUTRITION AND DIETETICS
At Kinex Health, we provide evidence-based nutritional strategies that complement your physical therapy, focusing on reducing systemic inflammation, supporting bone density, and optimising the biological building blocks required for tissue healing.
We believe that good nutrition is foundational to long-term health, healing, and wellbeing. At Kinex Health, we bridge the gap between movement and metabolic health. Our recommendations are tailored to your specific life stage—whether you are an athlete needing tissue repair, a mother recovering postpartum, or a woman navigating the bone-density changes of menopause. By optimising your internal chemistry, we ensure that the work you do in the clinic translates into lasting, structural changes in your body.

The Physiology: How Nutrition Drives Recovery:
Managing the Inflammatory Cascade
-
The Process: Chronic pain is often fuelled by systemic inflammation. Certain dietary patterns (high in processed sugars) increase "pro-inflammatory cytokines."
-
The Result: We guide you toward "anti-inflammatory" protocols rich in Omega-3s
and antioxidants. This chemically lowers the sensitivity of your pain receptors and allows manual therapy to work more
effectively on your tissues.
Amino Acid Profiling & Collagen Synthesis
-
The Process: To repair a torn muscle or a worn tendon, the body needs a specific "pool" of amino acids (like proline and glycine) and Vitamin C to build collagen.
-
The Result: We help you optimise protein timing and intake. This ensures that when our Laser or Exercise therapy stimulates your cells to repair, they actually have the raw materials available to build new, strong tissue.
Bone Mineral Density & Hormonal Support
-
The Process: Especially during menopause, declining estrogen levels lead to increased bone resorption (loss of bone density).
-
The Result: Our nutrition plans focus on the "Bone-Building Trio": Calcium, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K2. Combined with our weight-bearing exercise therapy, this dual approach is the most effective way to combat osteopenia and osteoporosis.
The Gut-Brain-Pain Axis
-
The Process: Up to 70% of your immune system and many of your "feel-good" neurotransmitters (like serotonin) are produced in the gut.
-
The Result: A healthy gut microbiome reduces "nerve excitability." By improving gut health, we can actually lower your brain's perception of chronic pain, making your rehabilitation journey smoother and more comfortable.
