Strong legs = supported hips and knees 💪

With osteoarthritis, your joints don’t just need rest, they need strength, control, and confidence.
When the muscles around your hips and knees are doing their job, they help absorb load, reduce joint stress, and make everyday movement feel easier.

That’s exactly what we focus on in GLA:D™ Program — building strength in a way that’s safe, progressive, and actually translates to real life.

If your knees or hips have been holding you back, this might be a good place to start.

Knee or hip pain slowing you down?

The GLA:D™ Canada Program is an evidence-based, structured program designed to help you move better, build strength, and get back to what matters most — without relying on passive care.

Here’s what to expect:
• 7-week program
• 2 education sessions (learn about your joints + how to manage symptoms)
• 12 supervised group exercise sessions (progressive, individualized)
• Initial 1:1 assessment to establish your baseline
• FREE follow-up after the program to re-test your progress and plan your next steps

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all class — it’s guided, personalized care in a supportive group setting.

If you’re trying to avoid (or delay) surgery, reduce pain, and improve function — this is for you.

📍Spots are limited to keep groups small and focused

🌿What is Naturopathic Medicine?👩🏻‍⚕️

Naturopathic Medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare, emphasizing the body’s innate ability to heal itself. By integrating natural therapies such as herbal medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle changes, naturopathy aims to treat the root cause of illness rather than just the symptoms.

Naturopathic Doctors tailor treatments to the individual, considering physical, emotional, and environmental factors, to foster a comprehensive path to health and well-being 🍃

🎾⚪️ Home Therapy Tip: Relieve Tension in Your Back and Neck with a Lacrosse or Tennis Ball ⚪️🎾

Grab a lacrosse ball or tennis ball and follow these steps:

1. Find a Flat Surface: Lay down on a flat surface or stand against wall.
2. Position the Ball: Place the lacrosse or tennis ball under the area of tension. For the back, you can target specific areas like the upper back, lower back, or between the shoulder blades. For the neck, place the ball where you feel the most tension, usually along the base of the skull or the sides of the neck.
3. Apply Pressure: Gently apply pressure onto the ball by leaning your body weight onto it. You can adjust the intensity of the pressure by shifting your body or adjusting the angle of the ball.
4. Roll it Out: Once you find a tender spot, hold the pressure for 15-30 seconds, then slowly roll the ball around the area.
5. Breathe and Relax: As you apply pressure and roll the ball, remember to breathe deeply and relax into the stretch. Focus on releasing tension with each exhale.
6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water afterwards to help flush out toxins released.
7. Listen to Your Body: If you experience any sharp pain or discomfort, stop immediately. This technique should provide relief, not exacerbate the issue.
