NUTRITION – A CRUCIAL FOUNDATION FOR RECOVERY & HEALTH
At Khanh An Clinic, we always emphasize that treatment comes not only from physical therapy, but also from daily nutrition.
A proper diet helps:
Reduce inflammation
Support muscle and tissue recovery
Increase treatment effectiveness
Prevent injury recurrence
1. Prioritize nutrient-rich foods.
The body needs the following ingredients to recover. Add these to your diet:
• Protein (lean meat, fish, eggs) – supports muscle regeneration
• Green vegetables & fruits – provide vitamins and antioxidants
• Good fats (fatty fish, nuts, olive oil) – reduce inflammation
2. Drink enough water every day
Water plays a crucial role in:
• Circulation
• Reducing muscle tension
• Supporting smooth joint movement
Recommendation: 2–2.5L/day (depending on your condition)
3. Limit inflammatory foods
Some foods can slow down the recovery process:
• Fried foods
• Refined sugar
• Alcohol
These factors can increase inflammation and prolong pain
4. Nutrition goes hand in hand with exercise
Good nutrition needs to be combined with proper exercise. A balanced regimen helps:
• Increase muscle strength
• Improve flexibility
• Reduce the risk of injury
5. Personalized for each condition
Each patient has different needs — especially with:
• Post-surgery patients
• Patients with chronic pain
• Athletes
