PHYSIOTIMES Magazine - July 2013

In this issue

Research strongly supports the role of physiotherapists in
the prevention, treatment and management of chronic
diseases, including hypertension, CVD, Type 2 diabetes,
COPD, cancer, stroke, asthma, arthritis, obesity etc.
Physiotherapy interventions, including exercise prescription,
facilitate patient participation in programs that
enhance and maintain physical well-being which has a
significant impact on quality of life (QOL) and future use
of health care services.

This issue highlights the role of physiotherapy in the
management of various chronic disorders. We would like
to thank Dr. Narasimman Swaminathan who has helped
us put together this issue as the guest editor. We also
thank all authors for their contribution.

We are sure this issue would help you assist people who
are at risk of developing or have a chronic disease to
safely optimise their level of physical activity & effectively
manage their own care.
