GLA:D Program

 

GLA:D Program in Tottenham

 

 

  • GLA:D™ Canada is an education and tailored neuromuscular exercise program designed for individuals with hip or knee osteoarthritis.
  • The program is unique because it provides education and targeted exercises that can be applied to movement in everyday activities.
  • The program has been shown to improve outcomes (better quality of life, reduced pain and use of pain medication, less sick leave).
  • Our physiotherapist has completed GLA:D™ Canada’s training and runs the program.
  • If you have coverage through your work or private insurance, this program should be covered.

 

The GLA:D® program consists of:

  • 2 education sessions that teach participants about osteoarthritis and how the GLA:D™ Canada exercises improve joint stability.
  • 12 Neuromuscular exercise sessions (twice a week for 6 weeks) to improve muscle control and stability of the joint, which leads to reduction in symptoms and improved quality of life.
  • Each training session lasts 60 minutes and consists of three parts: warm up, circuit training and cool down.
