Abstract
You, our readers, don't often think of yourselves as being at the forefront of a medical trend-but, in fact, you are. That trend is the gradual emergence of a "health model" of medicine, with its roots in sports medicine and similar health-oriented clinical disciplines. You practice in this mode whenever you offer advice on prevention of disease or injury, prescribe exercise for fitness or rehabilitation, or find a way to help patients with asthma or osteoarthritis remain active.
