GLA:D® at Karen Denwood Physio 😊
At Karen Denwood Physio, we are proud to offer the GLA:D® (Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark) program — a world-renowned, evidence-based education and exercise program for people living with hip or knee osteoarthritis.
GLA:D® is not a generic exercise class. It is a structured, research-driven program delivered by trained physiotherapists, designed to reduce pain, improve function, and empower people to move with confidence.
Results from GLA:D® programs worldwide show:
• An average 37% reduction in pain reported by participants after completing the program
• Improved joint-related quality of life, with benefits maintained at 12 months
• Reduced reliance on pain medication
• Many participants who were previously considering surgery no longer feel surgery is necessary after completing GLA:D®
Our GLA:D® program combines education, to help you better understand osteoarthritis and your joints, with progressive, supervised exercise, tailored to your ability and goals.
Whether your aim is to reduce pain, stay active, delay or avoid surgery, or simply feel more confident moving day to day, GLA:D® is a proven pathway to better joint health.
