OSTEOARTHIRITIS MANAGEMENT
​​
Osteoarthritis is a joint condition that can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Our physiotherapy services focus on managing these symptoms and improving joint function through customised treatment plans. We employ a range of techniques, including the GLA:D program which consists of targeted exercises, manual therapy, and education on joint protection strategies, to help alleviate pain and enhance movement. Our goal is to support you in maintaining an active lifestyle and improving your overall quality of life despite the challenges posed by osteoarthritis.
​
What is GLA:D® 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.
​
Prior to joining a GLA:D class, you will need to book an
appointment with one of our physiotherapists for an assessment.
