GLA:D Clinic (for Osteoarthritis)

This program is designed to help people who have osteoarthritis in their hips or knees. After seeing wild success in Denmark, the Good Life with Arthritis: Denmark (GLA:D) program was made available in Ontario for conservative management of arthritis.

The program goals are to help people avoid surgery, assist in pain management and provide education on some of the challenges of living with arthritis. Each clinic runs for eight weeks, and clients receive 12 exercise classes in the Ortho-Amp Clinic plus two education sessions in the Scotiabank Learning Centre during that timeframe.
