• Many individuals seek help from Lindsay Boland, their physiotherapist, when working on getting back to normal after a fracture or other surgery starts impacting daily life. Through a personalized physiotherapy plan, they often achieve being active again without the constant worry of pain or re-injury, empowering them to joyfully return to activities like walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness.
• Tired of widespread muscle pain and fatigue that my doctor thinks might be fibromyalgia interfering with joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court?
