At EPIC Health and Movement, our GLA:D Canada program is designed for individuals living with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis who are ready to take control of their joint health and stay active for life.
Whether you’re experiencing persistent joint pain, stiffness, or finding everyday movements like walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair more difficult, this program is built for you. Many of our participants are adults who want to maintain their independence, continue doing what they love, and avoid or delay surgical intervention.
