ALMIRON, Marcos Daniel et al. Eating Disorders and Basic Body Awareness Therapy: A “Physiotherapy in Mental Health” approach. An. Fac. Cienc. Méd. (Asunción) [online]. 2020, vol.53, n.3, pp.109-114. ISSN 1816-8949.  https://doi.org/10.18004/anales/2020.053.03.109.

The Basic Body Awareness Therapy attempts to achieve the quality of body movement through muscular motor patterns free of pressure and tension with the aim of promoting body awareness and optimizing the person’s body scheme. The aim of this narrative review of the literature is to determine the benefits that Basic Body Awareness Therapy can provide as a treatment for Eating Disorders. The studies including in this review of the literature supported the efficacy of Basic Body Awareness Therapy as an adjunctive therapy of Eating Disorders, but many studies have important limitations regarding their methodology. The role of the Physiotherapist is gaining prominence in the treatment of patients with Eating Disorders, as physiotherapeutic technics such as Basic Body Awareness Therapy provide significant improvement in the quality of life, psychiatric symptoms, and physical health of the affected patients.
