What is Sport and Exercise Nutrition?
Sport and Exercise Nutritional applies knowledge of the science of nutrition in order to promote exercise and sport performance. It is looking at the unique diet of an individual, applying science to what effect the diet has on the body and working with an individual’s goals to effect the performance of the individual and how the effect of exercise affects ones metabolism of nutrients in the body and what requirements the body needs for such task/ activity.
A Sport and Exercise Nutritional therapist requires has the understanding of the physiological and biochemical responses to any physical activity and/ or exercise of the unique circumstances of an individual and what occurs during training and competition in sports.
Why is Sport and Exercise Nutrition so important?
Think of our bodies as well-oiled machines. Diet and nutrition significantly affects sport and exercise performance. What we put into our bodies directly affects how our bodies will perform. What an individual drinks or eats before, during, and after an activity or exercise, directly affects ones health, body mass and body composition, as well as performance in, and, recovery from, the effects of that activity or exercise. An optimum diet can and will help to maximise your performance whatever it is.

I went to see Faye for a torn ACL in my right knee. I had seen many people regarding the issue and was in so much pain. I could hardly walk or straighten my leg. After just 3 sessions I can say I am able to finally do my day-to-day tasks and workouts without being in pain. Faye was very informative and professional and has helped me more than she knows! I know I will need ongoing treatment with my injury, but I feel well looked after and pain free for 90% of my days! Thank you, Faye!

I suffered a very serious shoulder injury in 2018 and was concerned for my future in my sport. Faye was recommended by my shoulder consultant due to her specialist experience with athletes and I cannot fault the treatment I have received. I am back to full fitness and strength now because of her expertise. Faye is very knowledgeable, and I heavily recommend her to anyone needing a top quality and professional Physiotherapist. Thank you, Faye.
