Data Collection for Quality Monitoring

The program measures how you are doing at your first visit, 3 months and 12 months after you start the program. This helps us monitor how the program is working for people and helps improve the program

Research from the GLA:D program shows participants report less pain, reduced use of pain medication, fewer individuals on sick leave and becoming more physically active.
This has lead to improvements in their function and quality of life.

The GLA:D Program is supported by Bone and Joint Canada, The Arthritis Society and the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation
