Osteoarthritis Exercise Program

Kooyong Physiotherapy Centre, a prominent Pilates club in Kooyong, is excited to announce the launch of their osteoarthritis exercise program, Good Life with osteoarthritis. This evidence-based program aims to enhance the care provided to individuals suffering from hip and knee arthritis.

Good Life with osteoarthritis is a comprehensive program consisting of two informative educational sessions and twelve individualised neuromuscular exercise therapy sessions. These exercise sessions are supervised by skilled physiotherapists who have undergone specific training in the program.

The program follows clinical guidelines for treating lower limb osteoarthritis, with exercise therapy, education, and weight loss as primary interventions. It has achieved remarkable success in Denmark and is now being embraced by countries such as Canada, Australia, and China. Unlike other programs, Good Life with osteoarthritis is supported by substantial evidence and clinical guidelines. In Denmark, it has demonstrated a reduction in sick leave and pain by 25%, an improvement in knee-related quality of life and physical activity levels, and a one-third decrease in analgesia use.

Participants in the program will receive invaluable education on osteoarthritis and the benefits of exercise through two informative sessions, each lasting an hour. Additionally, there will be twelve one-hour exercise sessions, tailored to individual abilities to ensure comfort and safety. Participants will be closely observed to monitor pain levels and will be encouraged to provide feedback during exercises. They will also receive supplementary materials, including exercise sheets and lecture content, for use at home or while travelling. The program further includes long-term monitoring and periodic reassessments by healthcare professionals. Participants will be prompted to complete a baseline osteoarthritis questionnaire, which they will then repeat at 3 and 12 months. They will also receive support in exploring exercise options beyond the initial six-week program.

The osteoarthritis exercise program is readily available at Kooyong Physiotherapy Centre, located at 461 Glenferrie Rd, Kooyong VIC.
