GLA:D® Back
We offer GLA:D® Back, an international research study and program designed to help people with persistent or recurrent low back pain. GLA:D® Back was designed by researchers at the University of Southern Denmark and is now delivered in Australia in partnership with researchers from Macquarie University. You may have heard of the GLA:D® hip and knee program which consists of education and exercise sessions for patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis. Based on the success of this program, GLA:D® Back was built similarly for people with back pain.
What does GLA:D® Back Entail?
GLA:D® Back is provided in small groups (4-7 participants online or in-person) and consists of:
-
- An initial one on one assessment where we determine your starting level and discuss your goals
- 2 group education sessions about the back, pain, and what you can do yourself to help your back
- 16 guided group exercise classes, twice per week for 8 weeks
- A final one on one visit where we test how much you have improved and discuss your ongoing plan
- Opportunity to participate in research about back pain
