Huge kudos to Alexi for his completion of the GLA:D® practitioner training program to assist people living with hip and knee osteoarthritis.
Workplace Physiotherapy is now only 1 or 3 practices in inner Newcastle to be endorsed to provide this program.
Research from the GLA:D® program in Australia shows an average pain reduction of 36%, reduced analgesic consumption, reduction in perceived need for surgery, and clinically meaningful improvement in joint confidence.
GLA:D® Education and exercises provided can be applied to everyday activities, ensuring participants develop skills to self-manage their osteoarthritis. By strengthening and improving confidence with exercise, participants develop better capacity to become or stay active, prevent symptom progression and reduce pain.
