Movement is medicine — and GLA:D is one of the most proven ways to treat hip and knee osteoarthritis without surgery.

We don’t just get you moving — we help you move with strength, confidence and control.

What Is GLA:D?

GLA:D (Good Life with Osteoarthritis: Denmark) is an education and exercise program for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis. It combines the latest research with practical movement training to help you:

• Reduce pain
• Improve confidence in movement
• Rely less on pain medication
• Delay or avoid surgery

The program has been running in Australia since 2016 and is backed by international research.

What Is Included In The Program?

✅ A 1:1 assessment before you start ($160)
✅ 12 small-group exercise sessions over 6 weeks ($32.50 each)
✅ Ongoing education during the sessions
✅ A 3-month follow-up assessment
✅ Research-based outcome tracking through La Trobe University

What You Will Learn

Every exercise is tailored to your level.
We focus on:

• Building strength in key lower-body muscles
• Improving joint stability
• Re-training confidence in movement
• Learning how to load the body safely

Small group size = personalised support.

What You Will Get

✅ Less pain
✅ More strength
✅ Better movement
✅ A plan you can keep using for life

Why It Works

Because GLA:D combines what the evidence says with what your body needs:
skillful movement, smart strength, and coaching that builds confidence — not fear.

What Happens After The Program?

You don’t just finish — you level up. At 3 months, we reassess your progress and help you plan your next move — gym, group movement, independent program, or continued support at TMCS.
