Joint Pain

• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Inflammation (tendinitis) or, more commonly, degeneration (tendinosis/tendinopathy) of tendons, leading to localized pain that typically worsens with activity or loading of the tendon.
• Osteoarthritis (Knee, Hip, Spine, Hands, Other Joints): A degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility in affected joints like the knees, hips, spine, or hands.

Sports Injury

• Ligament Sprains (e.g., ACL, MCL, PCL, Ankle Ligaments): Damage to ligaments that can range from mild (Grade 1 - overstretched) to moderate (Grade 2 - partial tear) to severe (Grade 3 - complete tear), impacting joint integrity and function.
• Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue (periosteum) around the tibia, which requires rest, activity modification, and specific physiotherapy interventions for recovery.
• Stress Fractures (Activity-Related - Conservative Management/Rehab): Localized bone pain that typically worsens with activity and is relieved by rest, often accompanied by tenderness to touch over the affected bone.
• IT Band Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome): Pain, typically sharp or burning, located on the outside (lateral aspect) of the knee, or sometimes the hip. Common in runners, cyclists, and other endurance athletes, caused by irritation or inflammation of the iliotibial (IT) band as it rubs over bony prominences.

At Toronto Physiotherapy, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Lindsay Davey frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Patients struggling with recovering their strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) can find dedicated and compassionate support from Lindsay Davey. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving improved ability to lift and carry objects correctly and safely, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from sharp pain shooting down their leg, feeling a lot like sciatica and achieved being able to play actively with their children or grandchildren again under the skilled care of Lindsay Davey. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as joining in on pickup basketball games at the local court with a new lease on life.
• For those whose baby/child is having trouble with their motor skills, like delayed rolling, sitting or walking, and has made feeling energetic enough to engage in social activities in the evenings seem like a distant memory, Lindsay Davey's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward the ability to manage symptoms independently if they occasionally recur. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to feeling energetic enough to engage in social activities in the evenings with greater comfort and renewed confidence.
• Are you finding that recovering from surgery to your hand or wrist stops you from enjoying attending your favorite yoga and pilates classes without limitation? Lindsay Davey is dedicated to helping patients like you achieve a noticeable reduction in daily discomfort, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable through a hands-on, active approach to physiotherapy.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Lindsay Davey, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.
