Design: Individuals above 35 years self-reporting persistent knee or hip pain for the past 3 months

were offered 8 weeks of supervised NEMEX, performed in groups twice weekly. The program consisted of 11 exercises focusing on joint stability and neuromuscular control. Participants selfreported joint pain on a 0 to 10 numerical rating scale (NRS) at baseline and 8–weeks follow-up.

NRS pain ratings were also collected before and immediately after every attended exercise session.
Results: Joint pain was reduced from baseline (NRS 3.6; 95% CI 3.2 to 4.1) to 8-weeks follow-up (2.6; 95% CI 2.1 to 3.1), (p
