Physical activity is one of the best insurers of continued health and quality of life at any age. Health professionals, through their direct contact with patients, have the opportunity to address the physical inactivity prevalent among their patients.

Minimal contact intervention and motivational interviewing allow physicians, as well as other health professionals, and their patients to quickly and effectively identify opportunities for healthy lifestyle changes.

Make a Move is a program to support professionals in primary care settings to more effectively counsel and support their patients in becoming more physically active.
