Opportunity Description
Dear Colleagues,
GLA:D Back Canada is hosting a virtual 2-day clinician certification course on:
Saturday, October 4 & Sunday, October 5 from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm (Mountain Standard Time)
(We also have a training session booked for March 7&8, 2026!).
What is GLA:D Back?
The purpose of GLA:D Back is to help patients better manage persistent and/or recurrent low back pain themselves through a well-described and structured treatment program. The patient program includes structured patient education sessions and supervised exercise sessions over 7 weeks, a pre- and post-program assessment, and data registration. These components are recommended as first-line interventions in several international guidelines based on expert reviews of hundreds of randomized controlled trials (see Research and Annual Reports for more at https://www.gladback.ca/researchannualreports). Data from the program is entered in a secure clinical registry so that together, we create new knowledge about chronic low back pain and GLA:D Back can be continuously improved.
