What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of low-impact group exercise classes on pain levels in patients suffering from knee, hip, and ankle pain, specifically those with osteoarthritis. Participants will engage in these exercise classes three times a week for six months, alongside standard care interventions including dietitian consultations and behavioral health support. The goal is to assess improvements in pain and function for individuals who may not have previously engaged in conservative treatment options. The study aims to provide a comprehensive approach to managing osteoarthritis pain through physical activity and supportive care.
