Community physiotherapy clinics have recently made a commitment to ensure every person in Canterbury has the chance to be active, regardless of injury, disability or disease. Physiotherapy has a role to play helping those with barriers to an active life (physical or mental). PhysioFitt sees itself mostly
as a transition phase: offering safe commencement of activity when health conditions may present a risk of a step back, or worse, never getting started. Our goal is always client independence and we work with our medical colleagues and our colleagues in the fitness industry to transition PhysioFitt clients to a life that realises the benefits of being active. Frankly the cost of inactivity is so massive to the individual and to our society that we need everyone to focus, and there is no doubt that as a society we are not active enough.
