The message is simple. Exercise is the best, cheapest, and most accessible medicine available, and in order to improve chronic disease mortality rates, people need to move more. We are partnering with Exercise is Medicine® Australia to help educate doctors and nurses to make sure their patients are moving enough and understand how to “Exercise Right” for their individual needs. We encourage all doctors to include a physical activity or exercise assessment as part of their interaction with every patient on each visit.
