ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of physiotherapy in patients with eating disorders (ED) using Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT). Materials and methodsThis is a pseudo-experimental, prospective study by conducting a controlled clinical trial of non-randomised parallel groups. The sample was composed of 10 women diagnosed with an ED according to the criteria of ICD-10, F.50, and who had been subjected to physiotherapy using the BBAT. The measurement instruments used were the Eating Disorder Inventory, the Body Attitude Test, the SF-36 Short-Form, the Eating Attitude Test and the Body Image Evaluation Scale–Gardner. The sample selected met the following inclusion criteria: patients with eating disorders according to ICD-10, F.50, aged over 18 years, with no disease progression over 10 years, and attended outpatients. ResultsMost of the studied variables showed a trend of greater improvement in the experimental group, however, there were no significant differences in any of the analyses. ConclusionsWe observed the same trend as in other studies that have shown significant changes, thus we recommend further studies with larger samples and better methodological quality in order to provide further evidence on the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the ED.
