Services Offered
Comprehensive Assessments and Personalized Plans
At Synergy Physio + Pilates, we utilize Dr. Linda-Joy Lee’s pioneering ConnectTherapy™ model to conduct detailed assessments that dive deep into the underlying causes of your discomfort or performance issues. Our comprehensive diagnostic approach ensures that we not only treat symptoms but also address the root causes of your conditions to prevent misdiagnosis. This method involves a holistic view of your body’s mechanics, identifying “Drivers” — the primary areas contributing to your issue. Each treatment plan is meticulously tailored to your unique physical needs, ensuring that every aspect of therapy is aligned with achieving your personal and athletic goals.


Injury Prevention and Recovery
Preventing injuries is just as crucial as treating them. Our proactive approach includes targeted support for injured areas, which may involve taping, providing expert advice on bracing, and utilizing advanced tools to support tissue healing. These methods help stabilize affected areas, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery. Additionally, we focus on educating our clients about body mechanics and proper sports techniques to minimize future injuries. Our goal is not only to heal but to strengthen and condition your body to withstand the rigors of your sport or daily activities.
