F.A.Q?
1. What is the GLA:D program Australia?
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 Denmark shows symptom progression reduces by 32%.
Other outcomes include a less pain, reduced use of joint related pain killers, and less people on sick leave. GLA:D® participants also reported high levels of satisfaction with the program and increased levels of physical activity 12 months after starting the program.
This program is unique in that the education and exercises provided can be applied to everyday activities. By strengthening and correcting daily movement patterns, participants will train their bodies to move properly, prevent symptom progression and reduce pain.
2. How much does the GLA:D program cost?
The two education sessions are completely FREE! This gives you the opportunity to hear about the program and figure out whether or not this is right for you and if it will help reduce pain with your symptoms.
