GLA:D is an education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with hip and knee osteoarthritis symptoms. Ideal for those wishing to avoid or delay hip and knee replacement surgery.
Research from the GLA:D program shows symptoms progression reduces by 32% and a significant number of patients defer or delay their joint replacement surgery. Those that still opted for surgery felt better prepared as the programme assists in Prehab conditioning. The program is now run in several countries around the world including the UK, Canada and Australia. In Australia, the research component of the program is linked with La Trobe University.
The program consists of education sessions and twice-weekly one-hour exercise sessions for six weeks. The exercise program is designed to be functional and uses limited equipment.
Coastal Physiotherapy Clinic is the only provider of the program on the Central Coast. Classes run twice weekly usually one session at Nth Gosford and the other in our Erina rooms. These sessions are run by physiotherapists who have been trained by GLA:D® Australia.
