To promote full clinical recovery from a joint replacement procedure, it is recommended that participation in GLA:D® be avoided for 12 months following the procedure unless otherwise indicated by your treating specialist.

If you have had total joint replacements in all hips and knees, the GLA:D® program is not suitable, and your treating physiotherapist or accredited exercise physiologist is best placed to guide you on alternative exercise therapy.

Research~ has shown that individuals who have completed the GLA:D® program before having a total knee or hip replacement tend to recover more quickly. Provided your surgery date is booked no less than 3 months away, participation in GLA:D® may be beneficial.
HBF members with hospital cover that provides restricted benefits for Hospital psychiatric services and have served the 2-month waiting period can claim for services provided by Esus Centre up to the minimum default benefit*. However, significant out-of-pocket costs will apply. If you need assistance understanding what this means for you, please contact us on 133 423.
