Clinical Sports Nutrition – COM CORPUS - Physiotherapy Clinics, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation in Lisbon

Medical Specialties

We’ll ask you about your dietary habits, from mealtimes to food preferences, so that we can design a meal plan that can be easily introduced into your daily life

Proper nutrition is important for everyone. We strive to understand what, how, when and how much you eat, from a functional perspective, as well as your goals: weight control, sports performance, and wellness.

Various body parameters are measured (skin-fold thickness, bioimpedance, waist circumference, among others) to better meet your goals and monitor progress.
All food intake times are monitored to optimise and monitor your metabolic and hormonal needs.

Our nutritionists work together with specialists in physical and rehabilitation medicine and sports medicine for a holistic recovery, treating each patient as a unique and individual being.
