The Unifying Theory of Physical Activity: a promising holistic perspective for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

The desire to promote exercise-related behavioral change in physiotherapy and rehabilitation settings has accompanied healthcare professionals for some time. However, although it has been emphasized in several position statements and guidelines that promoting exercise-related behavior change is a fundamental goal in rehabilitation[1, 2], research in this area has shown how unsuccessful current practices have been in modifying and sustaining behavior toward physical activity[3]. Thus, the challenge of changing health behaviors continues to persist and represents a significant outcome target to be achieved by healthcare in our society today[4].
