Osteoarthritis and the GLA:D® program
An education and exercise program for hip and knee osteoarthritis, delivered by a registered GLA:D® physiotherapist.
GLA:D® — Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark — is an education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms.
The program pairs education sessions with supervised, progressive exercise. The aim is that what you learn transfers to everyday activity, so you can keep managing the condition yourself once the program finishes.
Kwong is a GLA:D® registered physiotherapist and runs the program alongside ongoing small-group rehabilitation 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.
