GLA:D Canada

GLA:D Canada is a 7-week education and exercise program for those with stiff and/or painful knees and/or hips, or those with knee and/or hip osteoarthritis.

Originally developed in Denmark, this program uses certain exercise protocols combined with education to help people manage their pain and improve function. Research shows participants report less pain, reduced use of painkillers, fewer individuals on sick leave, and being more physically active.

Classes are taught by Robyn Smalley, Kinesiologist and our Kinesiology manager. Robyn is one of only two certified trainers of the GLA:D program in Campbell River. 

For current dates and times, please visit our "Upcoming Events & Classes" page.
