Abstract

Objective The aim of this study is to determine the role of physiotherapy, as well as its effectiveness in the treatment of patients with eating disorders. Search strategy A systematic search was conducted in February 2016 in different databases using the terms “Anorexia Nervosa”, “Exercise”, “Eating Disorders” and “Resistance Training” and the keyword “Physiotherapy”. Selection of studies Following the application of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 articles were obtained that used different therapeutic methods to approach these patients. Synthesis of results most of the studies showed a low methodological quality. The authors use a wide variety of scales and questionnaires as measurement tools. In addition to the specific aspects of eating disorders, quality of life, compulsive exercise, body image, and others are valued. The interventions carried out were body awareness therapy and therapeutic exercise, with the duration of these interventions ranging from 1 - 38 weeks. Significant improvements seen in the majority of studies that analysed the psychopathology of eating disorder, body image, weight variation, strength, and perception of quality of life. Conclusions Physiotherapy plays an important role in the recovery of patients with eating disorders, and the figure of the physiotherapist should be included as part of the multidisciplinary team in the treatment of eating disorders.
