Helping you Be You
GLAD Arthritis Program
Knee and hip pain from osteoarthritis (OA) is a really common problem we see in clinic, with people reporting it is stopping them from doing what they want to do.
We hear of people not being able to garden, walk around the shops, play with their children or grandchildren, walk upstairs, or enjoy their long-awaited holiday. All because of pain in their knees or hips from OA.
Thankfully it doesn’t have to be this way!
What is the GLAD Arthritis Program?
The GLAD Program from ‘Good Life with osteoarthritis in Denmark’ is a group education and exercise program that reflects the latest evidence in osteoarthritis (OA) research. It was brought to Australia in 2016 as GLAD Australia and has some amazing results.
Research from the GLAD program in Australia showed on average:
- Reduced usage of pain medication by 47%
- Knee pain reduction of 33%
- Hip pain reduction of 27%
- Improved quality of life by 25%
How Does The GLAD Program Run?
The GLAD program runs over 7 weeks, and is made up of 2, 1-hour classes per week. The program is run by a senior physio and has a maximum of 5 participants per class. Currently our classes are run on a Monday and a Thursday from our Woombye clinic.
