GLA:D® SWITZERLAND BACK PROGRAMME
The widespread disease of back pain is a health problem with far-reaching consequences for the people affected. International guidelines for the treatment of chronic or recurrent back pain recommend patient education with a focus on counselling and exercises to improve self-management.
The GLA:D® Switzerland Back Programme is based on the treatment guidelines and is a treatment option for patients with chronic or recurrent low back pain that affects everyday life.
From summer 2021, the first GLA:D® certified physiotherapists in Switzerland will offer the GLA:D® Switzerland Back Programme in their practice or clinic.
