What is it?

The program was developed in Denmark and brought to Canada due to its great success in reducing pain, and improving function and quality of life. The program consists of 2-3 education sessions with a GLA:D certified Physiotherapist, followed by 12 group exercise sessions.  Upon completion of the program, outcome measures are collected at 3 and 12 months to help monitor and improve the program. The total duration of this program will run between 6 to 8 weeks.
