Restore Function Physiotherapy offers a dedicated GLA:D® education and exercise program to address and reduce the symptoms of hip osteoarthritis and knee osteoarthritis using neuromuscular exercises.
GLA: D, or Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark, is an education and exercise program developed by researchers in Denmark for people with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis symptoms.
Our physiotherapy clinic in Greenslopes has a purpose-built exercise room where we lead you and a small group through an educational session and group neuromsucular exercise sessions following the groundbreaking evidence-based GLA:D® methodology.
During these exercise sessions, you will work on strengthening your body, as well as learning to move correctly and manage your symptoms to improve pain.

Our certified instructors will educate you about how you can have a Good Life with osteoArthritis (that’s the GLA in GLA:D® — the D is for Denmark). After 2 education sessions, our qualified instructors will lead you on a 6-week group exercise program to increase mobility, reduce pain and improve your quality of life.
During a GLA:D® group exercise session, everyone completes the same core exercise, but our trained physiotherapists will tailor each exercise to your particular condition — there’s no one-size fits all in GLA:D®.
With your private health you may be eligible for a rebate in clinic, making the classes much more affordable than PT at a gym. We also liaise with Medicare, DVA and WorkCover to name a few!
On our blog we share regular updates on common symptoms, treatments and prevention that can help you reach your goals sooner.
