Mobile Dietitian
How a Dietitian plays an important role in your therapy towards independent living?
Dietitians have an important role in a client’s independent living after an injury or for people with disabilities. Dietitians are experts at providing you with a tailored nutritional program, which is appropriate for your dietary objective and your health condition. Beyond just healthy eating, they consider any changes you may have experienced since your neurological injuries such as your ability to swallow, cope with food of various textures and weight management and nutritional needs.
The Dietitians may create a diet plan, which can help to deal with, treat or prevent medical conditions and facilitate your rehabilitation process.
At My Rehab Team, our mobile NDIS dietitians are passionate about your recovery and stay up to date on the latest nutrition research.
Anybody who wants to improve their nutrition, maintain their weight or have sustained an injury can see a Dietitian.

Benefits of Working With A Dietitian
Optimal outcomes depends on having good nutritional health. A diet that meets the need of the individual is a key to this.
Our Dietitians work closely with our speech pathologist frequently to provide a meal plan and food advice for clients with specific swallowing and dietary needs. They are able to help relieve symptoms that hamper one’s progress in rehabilitation.
For example, being underweight, constipation, diarrhoea, being overweight, etc. Certain dietary strategies can augment someone’s progress in therapy by improving energy, cognition, etc.
