In-home physiotherapy for joint and shoulder pain
One-on-one assessment and treatment at your home in Downtown Toronto, Yorkville, Bayview Village and Rosedale.
Achy knees on the stairs, a hip that limits your walks, a shoulder that won’t let you reach the top shelf, joint pain shrinks your life one small thing at a time. In-home physiotherapy assesses the joint properly, then builds the strength and movement around it, in the home where those stairs and shelves actually are.
Many joint problems, including arthritic pain and overuse injuries, are managed conservatively first, with exercise-based care and hands-on treatment. An assessment will tell you honestly whether physiotherapy is the right route for you, or whether you should be referred on.
Common problems I see
- Knee and hip pain, including arthritis
- Shoulder pain, stiffness and frozen shoulder
- Ankle pain and instability
- Overuse pain from work, sport or hobbies
- Joint pain after a sprain or injury
How treatment works
Treatment combines hands-on manual therapy where it helps, a progressive exercise program that loads the joint at the level it can handle, and practical advice on pacing activities so you keep doing what matters while the joint settles and strengthens. For shoulders, that often means rebuilding the rotator cuff and shoulder-blade control that overhead movement depends on; for knees and hips, strength and walking capacity lead the plan.
Sessions and fees
A first visit is a 60-minute session ($180): a full assessment, hands-on treatment where appropriate, and your home program. Follow-ups are 45 minutes ($160). You’ll get an honest estimate of how many sessions you’re likely to need after your first assessment, no obligation to book a block.
Questions
Can physiotherapy help arthritis?
Exercise and manual therapy are a mainstay of managing arthritic joints, they can ease stiffness, build the strength that supports the joint, and help you stay active. Your assessment will show what’s realistic for your joint.
Do I need surgery for joint pain?
Many joint problems are managed without surgery. If your assessment shows signs that you should see a surgeon or another provider instead, I’ll tell you directly and help you find the right route.
Why does my shoulder hurt at night?
Shoulder pain often complains at night because of how you lie on it and how the joint settles without the day’s movement. Your assessment will work out the cause and what to change, position, load and exercises.
