Summary

This study tests whether a virtual, team-based lifestyle program works as well as in-person physiotherapy for people with chronic muscle or joint pain living in rural areas. About 354 adults with conditions like back, knee, or hip pain will receive up to 10 sessions over six months. The goal is to see if virtual care can reduce pain impact and improve daily function, making treatment more accessible for rural communities.
