No original study results are reported.

This paper proposes a plant-based physical therapy specialty.

What this paper is

This is a narrative review and position paper proposing an Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy. It discusses nutrition-related chronic disease, plant-based diets, and competencies for physical therapists, and it lists proposed specialty areas. It reports no original methods, participants, outcomes, or results, so there is no finding here to change your practice on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read this paper as evidence that plant-based nutrition improves physical therapy outcomes. It is a proposal and narrative review, not a study.
