Physical inactivity is a global crisis, causing 5.3 million deaths each year and costing public healthcare $31.2 billion annually. Physical activity counselling has demonstrated efficacy for increasing physical activity; however implementation efforts within healthcare have been sub-optimal. This project will assist physiotherapists, an ideal health profession both in skill and pattern of practice, to deliver physical activity counselling within routine care to efficiently address this problem.
