Are you experiencing hip or knee pain due to osteoarthritis? Looking for a structured rehab program like GLA:D® but can’t find a provider near you?

At Palms Physiotherapy & Allied Health, we run GLA:D-style hip and knee rehab classes designed to help you move better, reduce pain, and regain confidence in daily life. Our classes are delivered by experienced physiotherapists and exercise physiologists, and are private health rebateable.

Please note: While our classes are based on the principles of the GLA:D® (Good Life with Osteoarthritis: Denmark) program, we are not officially GLA:D-registered providers. However, our team offers a high-quality, research-based alternative that follows similar clinical guidelines and structure.

💪 What Is GLA:D® and How Are Our Classes Similar?

GLA:D® is an internationally recognised education and exercise program developed in Denmark to treat people with hip and knee osteoarthritis. While we do not offer the official GLA:D program, our classes follow similar evidence-based principles, including:

✅ Supervised, progressive exercise sessions
✅ Neuromuscular training to improve joint stability
✅ Strengthening key muscle groups for hip and knee support
✅ Education on pain, movement, and osteoarthritis management
✅ Personalised modifications based on your needs and fitness

🦵 Who Are These Classes For?

Our Hip & Knee Rehab classes are ideal for people who:

• Have been diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis

• Experience joint stiffness, instability, or reduced mobility

• Want to avoid or delay joint replacement surgery

• Are recovering from a joint procedure or injury

• Need to improve strength, function, and daily movement

You don’t need a referral to join, but we recommend booking an initial assessment so we can tailor the program to your needs.

🧑‍⚕️ Run by Qualified Professionals

All sessions are run by our AHPRA-registered Physiotherapists or Accredited Exercise Physiologists (AEPs) with extensive experience in:

• Arthritis management

• Prehab and post-op care

• Neuromuscular training

• Chronic pain and joint rehabilitation

Your progress will be monitored closely, and exercises will be adjusted to suit your comfort and capacity.

💰 Health Fund Rebates Available
