About the Program: 
GLA:D Canada is a standardized 8-week education and exercise program for people with hip and knee osteoarthritis. Research shows that GLA:D participants report less pain, reduced use of painkillers, fewer days off work, and are more physically active. In many cases, the program is sufficient in lieu of more invasive procedures (surgery, injections, etc.)

The program is made up of an initial assessment, six 1-hour sessions of guided and individualized neuromuscular exercises (twice a week), and 2 education sessions about osteoarthritis and the best up-to-date management recommendations.
