GLAD CANADA
At Maxwell Clinic, we are proud to offer the GLA:D™ Canada program, a groundbreaking initiative designed to empower individuals with osteoarthritis to manage their condition effectively and improve their quality of life. Developed in Denmark, GLA:D™ stands for Good Life with OsteoArthritis Denmark, and it has gained international recognition for its evidence-based approach to osteoarthritis management.
The GLA:D™ Canada program at Maxwell Clinic combines education, exercise, and self-management strategies to provide comprehensive care for individuals living with osteoarthritis. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists and exercise therapists, are certified to deliver this specialized program.
During the GLA:D™ Canada program, participants undergo a thorough assessment to evaluate their specific needs, functional limitations, and goals. This assessment provides a foundation for developing personalized exercise programs that target areas of weakness, improve joint stability, and enhance mobility.
Education is a key component of the GLA:D™ Canada program, empowering participants with knowledge about osteoarthritis, its progression, and strategies for pain management and joint protection. By understanding their condition and learning effective self-management techniques, individuals can actively participate in their own care and make informed decisions to improve their overall well-being.
The exercise component of the GLA:D™ Canada program focuses on strength training, neuromuscular exercises, and functional movements to improve muscle strength, joint stability, and overall physical function. These exercises are specifically designed to target the affected joints and muscles, alleviate pain, and improve daily activities and quality of life.
At Maxwell Clinic, we are committed to providing a supportive and empowering environment throughout the GLA:D™ Canada program. Our healthcare professionals work closely with participants, monitoring their progress, offering guidance, and adapting the exercise program as needed to ensure optimal outcomes.
