Health promotion is a process of enabling people to increase control over and to improve their health. This is a changing processes. Over 50% of physiotherapists work involves helping people improve their health through making behaviour changes and thus health promotion is very important. Traditionally health promotion has been provider centred and underpinned by the biomedical model of health, focussing predominantly on providing information and instructions as this was assumed to change patient behaviours. However, more progressive treatment has become patient centred, which primarily involves actively involving the patient and building their skills.
