The GLA:D\u00ae program represents a research backed initiative that follows current first line recommendations for the treatment of knee and hip osteoarthritis. This includes p<\/span>atient education sessions prior to commencing the program that contain information about osteoarthritis and treatment options and an e<\/span>xercise program of supervised neuromuscular exercise that is conducted in a small group or individually, 2 times a week for 6 weeks.<\/span>\u00a0 Supervised exercise is often more effective, and it is highly recommended to be completed in a group format. Patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis are treated by a certified GLAD physiotherapist.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can participate in the GLA:D\u00ae Australia program if you have a hip or knee joint problem that resulted in visiting a health care provider.<\/p>\n The GLA:D\u00ae Program Consists of:<\/strong><\/p>\n What happens in the exercise session?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The GLA:D\u00ae exercises are a set of 10 exercises, plus warm-up and cool-down, aimed at improving the strength and function around your hips and knees.\u00a0 Sessions are run in small groups of around four to six people. In each session, the same exercises are done by each person at the level appropriate for them.\u00a0 The physiotherapists who run GLA:D\u00ae programs have been trained to customise the program to suit the patient.<\/p>\n What happens after GLAD program?<\/strong><\/p>\n Your physiotherapist will make an appointment to review your goals and progress 3 months after you are registered. This usually gives enough time for you to complete the program and start exploring what to do next. You may decide to work towards getting into a gym-based program, or heading back to running, or simply finding ways to increase your level of physical activity throughout the week.<\/p>\n The exercises and strategies you learn in GLA:D\u00ae are also easily able to be replicated at home. Most importantly, they are quick tips whenever you feel you need to implement them again in your life.<\/p>\n To learn more about GLA:D\u00ae follow this link: https:\/\/gladaustralia.com.au\/<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has been having hip and knee pain and would like more information on the GLAD program, give us a call and chat to our friendly staff on 85554099 or book yourself in for an initial GLAD consult.<\/p>\n GLA:D\u00ae, Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark, is an education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms.
