Netball Knee Program
Netball KNEE Program
The netball KNEE Program is an on court warm up program designed to enhance movement efficiency and reduce injury for netball players of all ages and abilities.
It is recommended the program is completed before each court work or match play session.
The KNEE Program needs to be completed at least twice a week for maximum effectiveness.
WHY DO IT?
The KNEE Program is based on programs that have been proven effective in reducing lower limb injuries generally and specifically reducing ACL injuries. It will also improve efficiency of movement on court.

GLA:D
GLA:D
In 2012 a clinical research team in Denmark designed a program for people with hip or knee OA. GLA:D – “Good Life with osteoArthritis: Denmark” – is a program of education and exercise designed to help reduce the symptoms of hip and/or knee osteoarthritis.
There are 12 supervised exercise sessions over 6 weeks, and 2 education sessions. Each session – education and exercise – will take about 60 minutes.
The exercises done in GLA:D target joint stability, muscle strength and confidence with movement.
GLA:D has been shown to help people of all ages with mild, moderate, and severe osteoarthritis by reducing pain, increasing mobility, and enhancing quality of life. Often surgery such as joint replacement can be avoided.
