Is GLA:D® Right for You?
If you have hip or knee pain from osteoarthritis, GLA:D® is designed for you – regardless of how mild or severe your symptoms are. You don’t need a referral from your GP to get started!
However, if your pain is caused by other conditions like inflammation, tumours, or injury, GLA:D® may not be the best fit. Your clinician will help you determine the right treatment for your situation.
Why Choose GLA:D®?
Osteoarthritis affects millions of Australians, and while medication and surgery are common treatments, they’re not the only options. The GLA:D® program focuses on education and exercise to help you manage OA symptoms naturally – reducing your need for medication and possibly avoiding surgery altogether.
By joining GLA:D®, you can:
Apply what you learn to everyday activities – gain skills to self-manage your osteoarthritis
Strengthen the muscles in your legs to stay active or become active again!
Reduce pain and improve your mobility
Prevent symptom progression and enjoy a more active lifestyle
Delay or avoid surgery altogether
The exercises and education you’ll receive are designed to fit into your everyday life, helping you stay active and prevent further symptom progression.

46% reduction in pain medication use (hip) and 50% (knee)
