Introduction[edit | edit source]
As physiotherapists we frequently provide patients who come into our clinic with advice on how to improve their physical condition, usually in relation to a specific health problem which for which they seek treatment: low back pain, plantafasciitis, etc. We expect to advise our patients on how best to treat their condition with exercise, and how to prevent recurrance, but do we also look at the larger picture, ie. the general fitness level of each individual?
Historically, physiotherapist interventions, ranging from electrotherapy, manipulation through to exercise recommendation, has been centred on the restoration of function lost as a result of either injury, or of a muskuloskeletal or neurological condition. In recent years physical inactivity has been shown to be one of the main risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer: see the page on Physical Activity and Non-Communicable Diseases for more information.
