AB Before  determining  a  plan  of  care  including  prescriptive  exercise,  the  therapist  must  take  into  consideration  the  individual's  health  history,  which  requires  documentation  of  the  client's  physical  activity  and  exercise  (type,  frequency,  intensity,  and  duration).  This  is  a  good  opportunity  to  educate  all  clients  about  the  importance  of  exercise  as  therapy  for  the  many  medical  conditions  discussed  in  this  book.  Counseling  individuals  on  exercise  has  been  shown  effective  in  increasing  physical  activity  and  improving  quality  of  life.1
