Introduction[edit | edit source]
The World Health Organisation developed the "Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for Health"[1] with the overall aim of providing national and regional level policy makers with guidance on the dose-response relationship between the frequency, duration, intensity, type and total amount of physical activity needed for the prevention of Non Communicable Diseases.

Role of Physiotherapy in Promoting Guidelines[edit | edit source]
Physiotherapists have always had a close relationship with exercise, the profession was founded on the work of remedial gymnasts and the profession has a rich history of prescribing rehabilitative exercise. Despite this, literature on physiotherapy as promoters of physical activity, is scant.
The global physical inactivity crisis, and the epidemic of life-style related diseases (non-communicable diseases or NCDs) has created an urgent need to build on our rich history of prescribing exercise and develop our approaches for prescribing physical activity. Creating a more active population requires joined up thinking and action from many stakeholders; physiotherapists need to be active in engaging with individuals and communities.
Physiotherapists have a lot to offer: access to people living with long term conditions, repeat consultations, exercise facilities, credibility with patients, injury or illness often creates "teachable moments", expert knowledge, and behaviour change skills to name a few.
In the UK, all health care professionals are enabled to provide physical activity brief interventions within a framework for personalised care and population health, particularly in primary care. All UK health care organisations are also required to support health care professionals to make every contact count (MECC) for physical activity. These recommendations provide the remit for physiotherapists, (and all other health and social care professionals), to enable the WHO target of reducing physical inactivity by 10%, by 2025, a reality.
