Practical Lifestyle Science Support for Health Professionals
Helping you bring lifestyle education into patient care — without adding unnecessary time to your consultation.
RiAB.pro brings together education, practical tools and structured patient programmes that health professionals can use to support their patients.
RiAB.pro helps health professionals introduce lifestyle education into patient care without adding unnecessary time to the consultation.
Practical Lifestyle Science Support for Health Professionals
RiAB.pro helps professionals bring structured, evidence informed lifestyle guidance into their own practices, without needing to build it from scratch.
You bring the clinical expertise. RiAB provides the framework, resources and patient support.
You know lifestyle matters. The challenge is making time for it.
Patients are often advised to move more, eat better, sleep well, manage stress or make healthier lifestyle choices. But knowing what patients should do is not always enough — and there is rarely enough time in a consultation to address everything in detail.
RiAB.pro is designed to make this easier.
It provides simple, structured ways to introduce lifestyle factors, educate patients and provide further support when needed.
The RiAB Approach
A simple approach to lifestyle science
RiAB is built around a simple progression:
Discover Why
Understand what matters and why it matters.
Uncover How
Explore how it can be addressed and what can be done to improve it.
Take Action
Turn that knowledge into practical action.
The approach is adapted to the needs of the patient, professional and programme.
How RiAB.pro can Support Your Practice
Referral System
Make lifestyle part of the conversation.
The RiAB referral pad provides a simple prompt for discussing key lifestyle factors with your patient in just a few minutes.
It helps you identify areas that may need attention, provide brief education and give the patient something useful to take away.
Where further support is appropriate, you can refer the patient to RiAB Assist.
Structured Patient Support
Give patients support beyond the consultation.
RiAB Assist provides structured patient education and support, starting with the basics and building towards more comprehensive support where needed.
Patients can be referred to RiAB for this support, or selected RiAB resources can be incorporated into your own patient communication.
Resources can include patient education, WhatsApp communication and ready-made social media content.
Professional Education
Understand the RiAB approach.
RiAB professional education provides health professionals with the background to the lifestyle science principles used in RiAB Assist and the RiAB referral system.
It explains the key lifestyle factors we address and how they fit together, so that you understand the approach behind the resources and can feel confident recommending them to your patients.
The aim is to provide a shared understanding of the RiAB approach, while complementing your existing professional knowledge and clinical expertise.
Less information overload. More understanding. More action.
Developed from clinical practice, research and teaching
RiAB was developed by Dr Susan de Beer, a registered biokineticist with more than 20 years of clinical experience, a PhD in Biokinetics and experience in clinical practice and university teaching.
RiAB brings together this experience in movement, rehabilitation and lifestyle science to create practical resources for real-world use.

RiAB.pro will continue to develop as the needs of health professionals and their patients become clearer.

These can be developed in partnership with the practice.
