GLA:D Back Program Edmonton South FAQs
The GLA:D Back Program is unique because it combines both educational and exercise components specifically tailored for individuals with osteoarthritis in the spine. Unlike traditional physiotherapy programs that might focus solely on exercises, the GLA:D Program also includes comprehensive education sessions. These sessions cover important topics like understanding OA, managing symptoms, and the benefits of exercise. This dual approach ensures that participants are not only physically improving but also gaining valuable knowledge to manage their condition effectively on their own.
Results from the GLA:D Back Program can vary depending on individual circumstances, such as the severity of osteoarthritis and your level of participation. However, many participants begin to notice improvements in their pain levels and mobility within a few weeks of starting the program. Consistent attendance and active participation in both the education and exercise sessions are key to achieving the best results. By the end of the 7-week program, most participants experience significant improvements in their strength, flexibility, and overall quality of life.
During the GLA:D Back Program, you will receive extensive support from our experienced physiotherapists. They will guide you through the exercises, ensuring you perform them correctly and safely. You will also benefit from the group setting, where you can share experiences and encouragement with fellow participants. Additionally, our physiotherapists are available to answer any questions and provide personalized advice based on your progress. This supportive environment helps ensure you stay motivated and achieve the best possible outcomes from the program.
