GLA:D ®

GLA:D ® is an education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with knee or hip osteoarthritis symptoms. GLA:D ® is for all individuals who experience hip or knee symptoms, regardless of severity 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 is a structured, tailored and evidence-based program which aims to dispel these myths by translating accurate information from research directly to the patients themselves. It consists of two education sessions detailing what osteoarthritis is and how it is best managed, as well as 12 supervised group-exercise classes tailored to each individual where exercises directly addressing hip and knee osteoarthritis are prescribed.
