Summary

This trial will study how well low-impact group exercise classes help relieve knee, hip, and ankle pain when patients also see a dietitian and behavioral health consultant.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with knee, hip, or ankle pain who can attend low-impact exercise classes three times a week for six months and also go to dietitian and behavioral health sessions. It's not open to prisoners or pregnant individuals.

What is being tested?

The study tests if low-impact group exercise classes combined with standard care from dietitians and mental health professionals can reduce joint pain in the knee, hip, or ankle.

What are the potential side effects?

Low-impact exercises are generally safe but may include muscle soreness, mild fatigue, or discomfort in the affected joints. The risk of serious side effects is very low.
