GLA:D®

Evidence-based care that reduces pain, improves function, and restores confidence in movement.

At Physiotherapy Active, we deliver the GLA:D Australia program for people living with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA).

GLA:D® (Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark) is a globally recognised, research-driven physiotherapy program designed to help people move better, feel stronger, and regain control over their symptoms—without relying solely on medication, injections, or surgery.


What makes the GLA:D® program different?

GLA:D® is not a generic exercise class. It is a standardised clinical program, designed by researchers and clinicians, and delivered by physiotherapists trained specifically in OA management.

The program focuses on:

  • Improving muscle strength around the hip and knee
  • Enhancing joint control and movement efficiency
  • Reducing pain sensitivity through graded loading
  • Building confidence to move without fear

Rather than “pushing through pain,” GLA:D® teaches how to load joints safely and progressively, even when pain is present.
