Physio: GLA:D (hip & knee osteoarthritis group)
GLA:D® is a six 6 week education and exercise program for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms supervised by a Physiotherapist. Participants who have completed the program report less pain and reduced use of painkillers. They also report 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. More information about the program is available here.
Group fees range between $5 and $8 per session for low and middle income clients. Group fees for high income, Home Care Package and NDIS clients are outlined on our Fees page (please discuss with your Physiotherapist for more details).
