To all:
I heard the other day that the main constituent of soft tissue in the body
is collagen, which is primarily made from zinc. I know a few
physiotherapists who test zinc in patients. When a person's zinc is low, it
is said that they will not heal as fast as those who have high zinc. Some
Physiotherapists prescribe zine liquid with a combination of vitamine B6 and
B12, for the purpose of speeding up the process of soft tissue healing in
the body. My question is this:
1. Is there anyone out there who also gives zinc, and if so, is there any
research behind this??
2. Does anyone also suggest other nutritional products to patients who have
soft tissue injury??
A Physiotherapy Lecturer in Taiwan told me that we as Physiotherapists
should deal with nutrition, because it is a vital part of the human body.
Since Physiotherapists assist the body healing response during injury,
therefore we should make sure the body has adquate supply for healing. Any
thoughts on this??
