GLA:D Back

A REFERRAL FROM YOUR DOCTOR IS REQUIRED FOR THIS PROGRAM

GLA:D Back is an evidence-based treatment program for individuals with persistent and/or recurrent back pain that negatively affects their everyday life and function. 

The GLA:D program consists of self-management education classes and exercise therapy. It originated in Demark with results in patient outcomes showing a decrease in pain and an increase in functional ability.

The key components of this group are to get stronger with the movements you do daily, to learn to cope with daily activities, and to become confident in self-managing your discomfort. By strengthening muscles and correcting movement patterns, patients can prevent the progression of symptoms and reduce pain.

Ask your health care provider if this class is right for you. Participants must be referred by their family doctor or health care provider to join this group.
