GLAD Program

GLAD Program for Osteoarthritis

We’re excited to be offering the GLA:D® program across Move Beyond clinics.

GLA:D® (Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark) is a globally recognised, evidence-based education and exercise program designed for people experiencing hip or knee osteoarthritis.

The program is built to translate directly into real life — combining simple, effective exercises with practical education to help you better understand and manage your condition. You’ll build strength, improve movement confidence, and develop the confidence to stay active long-term.

This isn’t just about reducing pain — it’s about helping you move better, feel stronger, and future-proof your body so you can keep doing what you love.

What is involved if you take part int the GLAD Program

Initial 60 min assessment with one of the GLA:D trained Physiotherapists
Follow up 30 min private session with the GLA:D trained Physiotherapists
2 x 60 min group exercise classes per week, over a 6-week period (12 in total)
2 free education sessions with our GLA:D trained Physiotherapists

Whilst the GLA:D program is designed to be done over 6 weeks, if you love the class you can continue on or speak with your practitioner about continuing your care through Clinical Pilates or Exercise Physiology at the clinic.

Research from the GLA:D program in Australia has demonstrated impressive results, with patients reporting significant pain reduction and a reduction in perceived need for surgery. Additionally, participants experienced clinically meaningful improvement in joint confidence.
