Carlton Physiotherapy Centre

GLA:D (Good Life with Arthritis Denmark) is an evidence-based education and exercise program designed for individuals with hip and knee osteoarthritis. Extensive research on this program has shown improvements in symptoms and long-term satisfaction.

Here’s how it works: Following an initial assessment with our GLA:D trained physiotherapist, you will gain access to online education sessions. Over the course of 12 tailored exercise sessions (typically twice a week for 6 weeks), your program will be adjusted to your specific abilities and progressively advanced. The program concludes with a final session to assess your progress and discuss long-term strategies.

This program is open to anyone with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis in the hip or knee, regardless of their level of function. Our physiotherapists will personalize the program to meet your individual needs.

Classes at Carlton Physio are kept small, with a maximum of three participants. Each session begins with a gentle warm-up, followed by rotations between stations to complete your exercises. Your physiotherapist ensures you’re working at the right level and executing each exercise correctly. The exercises are simple, requiring minimal equipment, allowing you to practice them at home between sessions.
