Hi Kanwal,
Behavioral change does not happen all at once, the ability to sustain change is the key to successfully promote health (Crist & Marocco, 2016). Physical therapists take the role as health promoter through education and employing strategies necessary to achieve positive health outcomes (American Physical Therapy Association, 2016). However, given the challenge of making a lifestyle change, the positive benefits gained often diminished after the active intervention period (Ory, Smith, Mier & Wernicke, 2010).
Behavioral models are designs that aid us to understand the complexity of human behavior. The Transtheoretical model (TTM) and Lapse-relapse model are two models that I use to improve my approach in increasing my patient’s level
