Now Offered With Dr. Rebecca-Jane McAllister!
The GLA:D Back program was developed in Denmark and is an evidence-based treatment program for individuals with persistent and/or recurrent back pain that negatively affects their everyday life and function. The purpose of GLA:D Back is to help patients manage their back pain themselves through a well-described and structured course of treatment.
I had the pleasure to be treated by Dr. Rebecca both in the GLA:D Back Program as well as receiving private, hands-on treatment. In the program, I received valuable training as well as flexibility and strength training for my back. I experienced an 87% improvement in my strength, flexibility, and reduced overall pain. Dr. Rebecca is the only chiropractor I’ve ever seen that uses a variety of methods to improve function and reduce pain. I am so happy I found her and you will be too!
Both In-Person & Virtual Program Options
Dr. Rebecca-Jane McAllister offers the GLA:D Back Program both in her private practice (in person & virtual) as well as with the University of Calgary.
Both in-person and virtual program options are available to all residents of Alberta in Dr. Rebecca-Jane McAllister’s private practice.

The GLA:D Back Program is a 9-week evidence-based group education and exercise rehabilitation program for people with persistent or recurrent low back pain. The program starts with a 1:1 initial assessment, where we complete a thorough health history, physical examination, and GLA:D Back specific objective tests to ensure you’re a good candidate for the program. The first week of the 9-week program involves 2 one-hour education sessions, where we review the current research recommendations and treatment guidelines around back pain and back pain management. Weeks 2-9 of the 9-week program involve twice a week, one hour group exercise sessions, where you get to exercise (under my supervision and guidance) to improve your back pain! Following completion of the 9-week program, another 1:1 re-evaluation is scheduled where we re-test the GLA:D Back specific objective tests and make a plan together on how you can maintain the progress you’ve made throughout the program! The pre- and post-program objective test outcomes are provided to the University of Alberta’s GLA:D Back research team, along with online questionnaires you complete throughout the program, to help further understand and develop the research on evidence based treatment options for low back pain.
