GLA:D® Program at EBR Physio:
We are very excited to announce that we are now offering the GLA:D® Australia education and exercise program to our clients.
This unique six-week program has been developed to help participants develop skills to better manage their hip and/or knee pain or symptoms of Osteoarthritis (OA).
Developed in Denmark, the GLA:D®, (Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark) program reflects the latest evidence in osteoarthritis (OA) research.
What does the GLA:D® program involve?
- An initial appointment to explain the program and measure your current functional ability.
- Small group exercise and education sessions twice a week for six weeks (12 x 1 hour sessions) to improve your control of the joint, your confidence in the joint and your strength.
- Educational component teaches you about OA, its risk factors, treatment options, and self-management strategies.
This program is unique in that the 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.
