GLA:D Arthritis Program

Relief from Arthritis Pain

The GLA:D (Good Life with Arthritis: Denmark) Program is an evidence-based, 8-week education and exercise initiative specifically designed to help individuals manage stiff and painful knees or hips caused by osteoarthritis. Developed in Denmark and adapted for Canadian participants, the program has been proven to reduce pain, decrease the reliance on painkillers, and improve overall physical activity levels of those suffering from knee and hip osteoarthritis.

Before joining the program, a GLA:D-certified therapist conducts a thorough physical assessment to determine if your symptoms align with what the program is designed to address. Participants in GLA:D learn effective arthritis management techniques, engage in supervised group exercise sessions, and experience reduced pain and improved mobility.

Ideal candidates are those with knee or hip osteoarthritis seeking non-surgical treatment options. Book your appointment today to start the journey to better joint health.

Research shows that participants often experience less pain, greater mobility, and improved function in daily life. Our goal is to give you tools that support both short-term relief and long-term success.
