Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was used to answer the purpose. The data were collected using specially designed questionnaire. That contained 11 questions related to interest and complications to use FaR® as a treatment method. A total of 38 individuals participated in the study. The data were analyzed by a descriptive approach through statistical program SPSS. Results: Participants (physicians and nurses) showed very positive attitude to promote physical activity among their patients to achieve better treatment results. In general, both physicians and nurses were positive to the FaR®, as a special tool. However, only 30% of the practitioners who participated in this study used FaR® in their daily practice. Not scepticism or lack of time was primarily reasons of so low implementation of FaR®.
