Core recommended lifestyle treatments are under-utilized in the management of knee osteoarthritis. There are many barriers to the adoption and effectiveness of lifestyle care include inadequate patient knowledge, time constraints, cost, limited allied health access, and poor adherence with lack of support for behavior change.
