Abstract
Physical activity and exercise are recommended by osteoarthritis (OA) clinical and general health guidelines. Amongst people with OA, physical activity levels are low, there is a global under-utilisation of exercise, and benefits are generally not sustained because adherence is typically suboptimal and declines over time. Health coaching, often delivered by telephone, is increasingly used for chronic disease self-management. It aims to improve patient adherence to treatment recommendations and facilitate health behavior change.
