GLA:D PROGRAM
Goodlifephysio is providing the GLA:D Program for Osteoarthritis in hips and knees.
GLA:D Participants will be welcomed to 12 x 60 min exercise sessions over a 6 week period and 2 x educational sessions complementing the exercise component.
What is GLA:D ?
GLA:D is an education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms.
Research from the GLA:D® program in Australia shows an average pain reduction of 36%, reduced analgesic consumption, reduction in perceived need for surgery, and clinically meaningful improvement in joint confidence.
GLA:D® Education and exercises provided can be applied to everyday activities, ensuring participants develop skills to self-manage their osteoarthritis. By strengthening and improving confidence with exercise, participants develop better capacity to become or stay active, prevent symptom progression and reduce pain.
