Manage knee and hip pain


GLA:D™ Australia is an education and exercise program for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms. This program is unique in that the education and exercises provided can be applied to everyday activities. By strengthening and correcting daily movement patterns, participants will train their bodies to move properly, prevent symptom progression and reduce pain.


Our Physiotherapy team provides education and exercise to prevent symptoms from getting worse and reduce pain. The program includes two group exercise sessions per week over a duration of six weeks.

The program is suitable for:

  • People living with hip or knee osteoarthritis symptoms
  • People considering surgery

Research from Denmark, where the program was developed shows symptom progression reduces by 32%, with clients reporting outcomes of less pain, reduced use of joint related pain relief and less time off work. Participants who completed the program also reported increased levels of physical activity 12 months after starting the program.*

Supporting people to get a spring in their step again

“I’ve never been one to go to the gym, but you can whip up here for the 45 minutes, you don’t have to put on any special clothes, and it’s easy parking and shopping nearby”, which is very important when mobility is an issue. “With Summer coming on its great to be more mobile and doing something good for yourself.” - Mandy, GLA:D client
