💡 JAMA Insights: #PhysicalActivity is an effective component of care for people with #chronic #medical conditions, and #clinician #communication can help support behavior change. This JAMA Insights article indicates that supportive conversations should acknowledge common barriers, frame activity as achievable daily movement rather than only structured exercise, and emphasize that any increase in activity can benefit health. ja.ma/4xoRRIn
