Brief summary (from the registry)
Patients seeking care for chronic low back or knee pain will be recruited for enrollment, and randomized within two phases (retention and compliance). Patients will consent to a 2-step study design, with independent randomization for each. The initial step will assess retention based on 4 different exercise prescription strategies. This will be assessed short-term, and then the 2nd step will consist of a second independent randomization to receive different reminder strategies to determine their influence on exercise compliance at home.
