What is the GLA:D Program?
GLA:D Canada is a 7 week program that includes education and exercise for people with Osteoarthritis in their hips or knees. The program is run in-clinic at Myodetox Main with a small group of 3 participants.
GLA:D has proven to decrease participant’s symptoms by 32%. Participants have also seen a reduction in pain intensity, reduced use of pain killers, and increased levels of physical activity in just 12 months.

The GLA:D® program helps thousands of people with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) manage their symptoms and return them to their activities.
