Foreword
It gives me great pleasure to write the foreword to this book on Rehabilitation Interventions in the Patient with Obesity, edited by Dr. Paolo Capodaglio. It is a very important book because it contributes to the field of obesity, presenting evidence-based rehabilitation protocols to rehabilitation professionals, as well as giving guidelines for effectively overcoming the difficult phase of obesity rehabilitation. Also, it provides to the field of obesity management the dimension of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, necessary for tailoring individual multidisciplinary rehabilitation plans. I would like to congratulate all the well-known (European and non-European) PRM physicians and other health professionals, who have contributed several chapters to this unique book on obesity rehabilitation. I would also like to extend my congratulations to the editorial team for their contribution to this educative book. As President of the European Society of PRM, I encourage all the PRM physicians in Europe to use this very important resource in their daily practice, improving the therapeutic results of their work in obesity rehabilitation for the benefit of their patients. Nicolas Christodoulou European Society of Physical and Rehabilitati
