• GLA:D Program

Do you experience knee or hip pain?

If yes, the GLA:D program might be for you!
Starting Tuesday March 17th, 2020, Coast Therapy will be offering the GLA:D Canada Program, an 8 week group exercise and education program specifically for individuals with symptoms of hip and/or knee Osteoarthritis. GLAD will be instructed by a Coast Therapy Physiotherapist and certified BCAK Kinesiologist. The program can help you become more physically active, improve your quality of life, and participation in GLAD may delay or prevent the need for surgery. GLAD Canada is supported by Bone and Joint Canada, The Arthritis Society, and the Physiotherapy Association of BC.

To book your GLAD assessment and determine whether you are a good fit for our program, please contact our Coquitlam office at 604-492-0333.

FAQ

Do I need to be diagnosed with Osteoarthritis or be a hip/knee surgical patient to participate
in GLAD?

No! The GLAD program is for patients with stiff/painful knees and/or hips, and/or diagnosis of OA of the hips/knees.

What are the benefits of this program?

This program will help patients improve their function and manage their pain, while making participants feel engaged in exercise for the long term.

What do the education and exercise sessions involve?

The two education sessions will teach participants about OA risk factors, symptoms and self management skills. The exercise sessions will be 60 minutes in length, and will involve exercises and movement to improve posture and build muscular strength.

If Physiotherapy is a benefit provided by your health care insurance provider, than you will be able to claim the cost of the GLAD program through your insurance.
