Physiotherapy is proven very effective in case of Obesity. Physiotherapists have advanced knowledge and skills in:

• Biomechanics
• Exercise prescription and therapeutic exercise
Some of the other physical health related problems that will be cured through Physiotherapy are as follows:
• High blood pressure: Additional fat tissue in the body needs oxygen and nutrients. The blood vessels have to circulate more blood to the fat tissue and the heart needs to pump harder to achieve this. This causes more pressure on the walls of the arteries thus increasing the blood pressure.
• Diabetes: Obesity causes type 2 diabetes, which usually begins in adulthood. Obesity increases resistance to the actions of hormone insulin that regulates blood sugar.
