Ending Childhood Obesity

Survey
The WCPT subgroup, the International Organisation of Physical Therapists in Paediatrics (IOPTP), is conducting a survey to explore the involvement of physical therapists in the area of childhood obesity.  In order to address the challenge of childhood obesity it is essential that all health workers are confident in providing education, support and evidence-based treatment. Physical therapists play a key role in the promotion of health in all individuals regardless of their physical ability, shape or size. 
 
To help inform the future work of IOPTP please complete the short online questionnaire at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/LHF6WK7. The survey is open until 1st March 2016.
 
Report
Earlier this week the Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity (ECHO) presented its final report to WHO. The report proposes a range of recommendations for governments aimed at reversing the rising trend of children aged under 5 years becoming overweight and obese.
