Personalized exercise therapy and self-management program in addition to usual care
Usual care alone
Participants randomized to the personalized exercise therapy and self-management support program will participate in a 12-week program tailored to people with multimorbidity at one of the intervention sites. The program will consist of 24 exercise therapy and self-management sessions distributed across the program (twice weekly, each lasting around 1.5 hour). Furthermore, this group will receive the treatment described under usual care below.
Usual care is the care that the participants would receive had they not participated in the study, i.e. treatments or services that are routinely provided in the settings from which the participants are recruited. Participants will continue their current treatment, if needed, and be allowed to receive other treatments if their general practitioner or specialist finds it relevant for their particular comorbidities.
