How we work

Treatment decisions here come from measurement and published protocols, not from how long it has been.

Strength measured, not estimated

An isokinetic machine holds a limb to a set speed and records the force a muscle produces at every point in the movement. A hand-held strength test is static: it catches the strongest part of the range and nothing else. That matters anywhere a difference between sides needs a number rather than an impression — most of all after a knee injury, where a leg can feel ready well before it measures ready.

How isokinetic testing works

Programs with published evidence

The GLA:D® program for hip and knee osteoarthritis was developed by researchers in Denmark and follows a set protocol. Kwong is a registered GLA:D® physiotherapist and runs it alongside ongoing small-group classes.

GLA:D Australia reports an average pain reduction of 36% among program participants, alongside reduced analgesic use, a reduction in perceived need for surgery, and clinically meaningful improvement in joint confidence.

GLA:D® AustraliaProgram registry findings reported by GLA:D Australia. Individual results vary.

Decisions made with your doctor

Kwong works alongside sports doctors and orthopaedic surgeons on both operative and non-operative pathways. Where surgery is on the table, that call is made between you, your doctor and your physiotherapist together.
