one thing I noticed was the last week as I say, the knee pain was decreasing. P19: Male, age 72 (Self-directed)I just think it makes you more flexible, and the pain is not so bad, for myself, pain is not as bad in the evening. P27: Female, age 67 (Instructor-led)Other participants, from both walking formats, indicated a sense of “feeling good” from completing the activities in the programme. This was put in the context of benefit regardless of major improvements in pain:what it did for me was re-motivate me, give me a lesson, in actual fact what I knew anyway, if you believe you can do something you can, just do it. So again, I think for me it was more of an emotional thing and getting rid of that malaise. P26: Female, age 57 (Instructor-led)
