Elevation Physiotherapy & Wellness

I was referred to Lynda by my doctor for pelvic floor exercises but she ended up helping me with other issues as well involving my back. Through various work out routines; tips for improving muscle strength and minimizing pain, Lynda always provided me with an abundance of knowledge and tools to help me improve. She has been pleasure to work with and I am very grateful for all the help she has provided me over the last year.  Thank you!

I was able to completely fix my knee pain from jumping and get back into sports. Joelle was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

My experience at Elevation Physiotherapy was nothing but amazing. Lynda was such a positive and professional person who really took the time to explain each and every aspect of my exercise regiment. Accolades to a truly tremendous individual. Thank you so very much.

I saw Joelle for pelvic physio end of my second trimester, right up to almost delivery. She is wonderful at her job and helped me tremendously with my pelvic pain. She also helped me with coping mechanisms for during contractions. She is very pleasant to talk to as well and immediately puts you at ease when you meet her.

My experiences with Elevation Physiotherapy & Wellness (abbrev.to EPW) is moderate.

I've been actively doing martial arts and gymnastics for 30+ years. In march of 2021, after a bad landing from a somersault, I injured my right leg. I've experienced similar injuries before and they usually heal on their own after 3 weeks. But this time, it didn't heal after 4 months. And it got worse overtime, because I experienced new symptoms I never experienced before, which was the foot going numb and eventually feelings of knife stabbing through my toes. These symptoms are noticeable after 5 minutes of walking. Over the course of the next 9 months, I sought help from 8 different healthcare workers (doctors, physio, massage, medical specialists). I did a few scans (one was X ray, and I forget the name of hte other. CT or ultrasound?). No one found what's wrong with me. Next, my family doctor scheduled an MRI for my leg and back, but it would be 6 months away.

In the meantime, Someone suggested I see EPW - By this point, I already lost hope. But I tried anyway.

At EPW, the person I worked with suggested that my leg problems were most likely the result of a lower back problem because of how much time I spend sitting and working in a front of a computer. I was highly skeptical of this because I never experienced any discomfort in my back. She assured me that back problems can happen spontaneously and cause my leg issues. Despite my skepticism, I went along with her ideas.

The EPW worker started with a physical exam, but through out the whole time, it felt like the she was "letting her conclusions dictate her observations" instead of "letting her observations deduce conclusions. " I remember one exam where she said she will push on my injured leg, and I must resist. I was caught off gaurd by how strong she was, so I didn't resist hard enough, and my leg collapsed under her pressure. She then went to my healthy leg, and repeated teh same experiment, but this time I was prepared to resist harder because now I know how strong she is, and this time my leg did not collapse. Her conclusion was, "See, your injured right leg is weaker than your healthy left leg, this is how we know you have a back problem. " I'm not an assertive person, so I didn't debate her. I thought she would know best, and she will do other tests to confirm or deny her conclusions. But other experiments always felt like she was convinced it was the back, and was looking for data to support her conclusion.like an archer who shoots an arrow at a random wall, then paints the target aroudn the arrow and says, "Voila! I hit the bullseye".

We did 4 to 5 consults together, all were focused on the back, and I was given exercises like mackenzie push ups, new sitting postures etc. None of them were effective. And because I don't have health insurance, I didn't feel comfortable spending money on an approach that showed zero results. So I discontinued working with EPW.

By the 18th month of my injury, and after seeing 4 more professionals, no one was able to help, so I accepted the reality this will probably be a life long injury. And if that's the case, I might as well return to combat and gymnastics.it's what ive' always known and I might as well die doing what I dedicated my life too.

I returned to all the somersaults, sparring, etc. I even increased the intensity beyond my normal routines to punish my own body for being weak. The pain in my leg increased in the 19th month and 20th month. But to my surprise and relief, between months 21 and 24, the pain slowly went away. I have no idea what happened, but as of today, my leg is almost fully recovered.

I got my MRI results. My family doctor and a neurologist said my lower back is healthy. The neurologist was especially surprised when he said, "Wow, look a how healthy your lower back is".

My case was difficult, all 12 healthcare workers I worked with did not have answers. Ultimately, I returned to my sports, worked through the pain, and prayed the body would fix itself or I die trying.

Joelle is a great pelvic floor physio therapist! I was experiencing some really bad symptoms due to my pelvic floor and Joelle has been helping me get back on track. I highly recommend!

I worked with Beatrice over the last several weeks. She was very knowledgeable and I really enjoyed working through the benchmarks she set along the road to recovery. The exercises were well laid out and she always took the time to ensure I performed them correctly.

Her and the rest of the team at Elevation Physiotherapy are excellent to work with!

I highly recommend Lynda McClatchie at Elevation Physiotherapy! She put me at ease immediately, fully explained therapy and made sure I was executing the exercises properly. We resolved my post-surgery issue in 2-3 visits. She left me with some exercises to maintain a healthy pelvic floor. This physio exceeded my expectations! Thank you.

I happened across Elevation while in search for a new physiotherapist. I walked in and had a great conversation with the owner. I booked an appointment with Joelle for an issue I was having with my foot. My first appointment I told Joelle what I thought was causing the issue. She listened, asked questions, listened some more and asked more questions. Upon further investigation Joelle informed me that the issue was actually my lower back. I was honestly shocked. I followed her instructions, continued with physiotherapy for my back and I can happily say, I am pain free. Thank you Elevation and Joelle!

Staff always friendly and professional; they’ve helped me immensely with recovery after a major surgery. Can’t say enough good things about Linda and her staff!

I enjoyed working with Lynda! She helped my postpartum recovery in strengthening my pelvic floor. She is so informative and encouraging. I appreciated how she created achievable exercise programs geared to my needs and interests. I highly recommend her services.

Linda is a miracle worker! I had an ongoing very painful nerve problem in my lower back and hip area. I experienced relief within the first few weeks and after six months I am 99% healed.
She is extremely knowledgeable and informative. She is also very kind!
I highly recommend her! I am not a person who writes reviews but when someone is exceptional, it warranted a review.

Lynda at Elevation Phyiso is AMAZING for back injuries. Lynda was extremely knowledgable and took the time to truly understand my issue. She explained the fundamentals to start recovery and built a program focused on me. It's scary then your back cripples your ability to walk but having the support I needed was great. All I can say is THANK YOU to Lynda & the Elevation clinic.

Lynda has looked after my back 5 years ago and successfully brought me back to normal functioning. Recently I had a relapse. I went back to Elevation therapy and After 2 sessions and following her exercise program I am happy to say that I am mobile again without a cane or walker.
Follow the exercises and don’t stop. Thank you Lynda.

I can’t begin to thank Joelle for all her help! I came in to see Joelle with a tight schedule and she fit me in every chance she could, and she even came in early to see me for a session when her schedule was full. I’m so appreciative to have met Joelle, she is non-judgmental, trusting and completely professional, which made every appointment so comfortable. She always encouraged me, while allowing me to have control over my progress, and with the knowledge she provided me with, I was able to progress tremendously during our time together. I’m so glad I was recommended to see her from a friend of mine who also had amazing results with pelvic therapy with Joelle. The only regret I have is not coming in to see her sooner!

Thank you for everything Joelle!

Joelle Li of ELEVATION Physiotherapy looked after my arthritic knee for several weeks in late 2021 and early 2022. She did a wonderful job and made me feel 100% better after my sessions with her. My knee feels much better now than in the Fall of 2021. My knee pain has just about disappeared, I sleep better, I can now walk up the stairs as normal and getting in an out of the car is now much easier. Her easy and friendly manner was much appreciated and her knowledge of physiotherapy was truly impressive. Things improved so much, that by the last session we were doing a line dance together called The Electric Slide. I would strongly recommend her for any of your physiotherapy needs.

10 plus years ago, I had major knee surgery. I went to see Lynda McClatchie of Elevation Physiotherapy & Wellness. Lynda was GREAT. Personable, understanding and passionate about getting my knee to full range of motion. Lynda was more excited about it than I was, it would seem.

I travelled this weekend, did the exercised as outlined and this was the first time in years that my knee was no mobile (not stiff) especially after being on a plane.

Thanks Lynda, I am excited for more great results.

Cannot say enough good things about Elevation Physiotherapy. I’ve been seeing Joelle for my pelvic physio and my ankle and it has truly been a game changer. She is so in tune with her patients and meets them where they are to help them improve. I have improved tremendously and come a long way in my fitness and well being thanks to Joelle and team at the center.

I have been very pleased with the very professional and competent physio care that Jacqueline has provided to me. It was my first-time accessing physiotherapist. She was very patient with me and explained different exercises in such a way so that it’s very easy to understand and perform. She is extremely positive, passionate, great listener and knowledgeable. She is definitely my go to person for any physio needs.
Great experience and I highly recommend Elevation Physiotherapy. Thanks Jacqueline.

I had been dealing with elbow and shoulder pain for nearly 2+ years (some injuries dating back 10+ years), when I came across Elevation Physiotherapy & Wellness I figured I would try again to solve the issues.

I have been working with Joelle over the past 8 months and can honestly say I haven't felt this close to 100% in a long time. I've had various impactful injuries which led to varying degrees of arthritis, bursitis, and nerve issues in my arm. Joelle and the team at Elevation are always friendly, professional, while creating an environment of comfort and trust. They have helped me become more functional, take part in my hobbies, and live without daily pain.which was something I wasn't sure was possible at some points in time.

I would highly recommend Elevation!

My Mom has been seeing Lynda at this practice. I find Lynda to be very dedicated. She listens to my Mom, and accommodates programs to meet what she knows my Mom wants and can do because she wants us to succeed. She is very encouraging and she's funny. We have seen good results with the physiotherapy (we are striving for more results), my Mom just needs to keep working at it. Lynda is very approachable and will answer questions through an email, she's generous with her time and wants to impart knowledge and is very willing to answer questions that may not be related to my Mom. I appreciate Lynda and her willingness to help.

I am currently pregnant and have been working with Jacqueline the last few months. She has been amazing and does an excellent job of explaining everything to me and ensuring I am comfortable. I have been doing pelvic floor exercises and have gotten much stronger with her guidance. She is always so supportive and I love working with her! If you're looking for a great clinic to improve your pelvic floor or for physiotherapy come here! I will be returning post-partum for sure. Thanks Jacqueline and Elevation Physiotherapy!

Elevation provides top notch care with very friendly and highly trained professionals, every visit was very personal and informative! Focused treatment plans allowed for a quicker than expected recovery. I highly recommend elevation!

Lynda is very professional and helpful. I went to Elevation with pretty severe back issues. If the advice and exercises I received are followed, I'm confident that any future back problems can be prevented. Is this physiotherapy nirvana?

Cannot thank Lynda and Elevation enough!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Joelle. She is a very knowledgeable Physiotherapist who helped me recover from shoulder issues. I would highly recommend her for your Physiotherapy needs.

Following hip replacement surgery I had physio from a provider recommended by the hospital. Not impressed! A friend suggested Elevation Physiotherapy and I could not be more pleased with the results.
Joelle Li and everyone there were extremely capable and professional since January, 2021 through to January 2022, by which time my visits had been reduced to once a month. I can heartily recommend them.

Meeting Lynda was a great experience I ever had following my prostate surgery. Lynda exhibited her knowledge very well by explaining what was needed to be done and the goal to be achieved. I was with Lynda for six months by following systematically all her instructions and exercises, and I was very pleased to reach the goal she set right from the beginning. I will always recommend other clients to visits this physio for better experience.

The service and staff is amazing! The receptionist is very kind and professional. The facility is extremely clean, big, and adheres to Covid protocols well. Special thanks to Lynda Mc Clatchie, OMG, she is amazing with information and treatments. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field of Pelvic floor.

I have visited Elevation Physio for two separate diagnosis and each time I am welcomed with professional and experienced staff which has resulted in positive outcomes.
On the business side, Lynda is involved in the community being a member, for a number of years, of the Mississauga Board Of Trade where she is an active participant on the Ambassador committee.

I was experiencing sciatic nerve pain and decided to try a physiotherapist. Lynda was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and knew right away how to treat my pain. Lynda and all her staff were very friendly, making it an enjoyable visit each time. I would highly recommend them.

I have been very pleased with the very professional and competent physio care that Joelle Li has provided me for my shoulder issues. I have been seeing her regularly for the last 6 months at this very welcoming clinic, Elevation Physiotherapy and Wellness. Joelle gave me great stretches and exercises to practice at home between visits and was always willing to help with any questions during my visits. Courtney at the front desk was always polite and helpful. As well, Covid protocols are strictly followed. And today I had my first massage therapy appointment with Keri Edwards at the clinic. Keri is also very competent as well as helpful as to stretches to do at home for neck/posture issues. I highly recommend this clinic!

I highly recommend the clinic and Joelle for rehab treatment. Joelle has been very determined in finding the root cause of the achilles pain that stopped me from running. After doing the stretching and exercises she recommended I’m now able to run pain free and gradually increasing distance!

Joelle helped me recover from chronic, disruptive pain. She is very thorough in assessing the problem. She is also very patient and attentive adjusting my exercises as needed. Her exercises brought my pain under control. I couldn't be thankful enough.

Lynda is experienced, understanding and very professional. Definitely would recommend for any physiotherapy needs.

After several GP/ENT appointments and hours of testing with no answers, Lynda was able to figure out that the vertigo I had been experiencing for months was related to my neck - in my first appointment! She has since helped as needed to relieve the symptoms I experience and has assigned practical at home exercises. She has also been great with relief from tension headaches.

I also see Keri for massage and she is fantastic at what she does.

Despite being busy, Lynda and her team do what they can to see patients quickly when "emergencies" arise. They are friendly, professional, and always greet you with a smile. I would highly recommend Elevation for physio and massage.

Lynda was GREAT! Very knowledgeable! Worked through a sciatica issue with me so that now all the symptoms are gone. I would recommend her with confidence for anyone suffering from sciatica!

I am very fortunate to have started seeing Lynda before having surgery for prostate cancer and began doing the exercises she prescribed in the weeks leading up to my treatment. The benefits of building pelvic floor strength ahead of time certainly paid off for me. In terms of post-surgery therapy, my pre-work allowed me to hit the ground running which, I believe, expedited my progress and ensured a positive outcome. Her post-surgery program is excellent and very manageable. I would highly recommend seeing Lynda both before and certainly after prostate surgery.
As a therapist she is extremely positive, passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She is definitely my go to for post-surgery information, plus.she tells great stories ;-)
Special shout out to Courtney who masterfully manages the front desk. She is uber efficient, professional and competent.
When you choose Elevation Physiotherapy & Wellness safe to say, you're in GREAT hands!

First, some background. I found out through an MRI that I had a small tear in a knee ligament, and my doctor recommended seeing a physiotherapist to help me strengthen the knee and my quad muscles, should I need surgery.
At my first visit with Lynda, she explained that sometimes, through exercises, surgery can be prevented and may not be required.
She started me off with some simple exercises to stretch my knee, and honestly, after just a week or so my knee started to feel better. At each subsequent 2 week visit, she assessed me, and started to include other exercises to do, sometimes keeping the ones I was doing, or substituting them with others. During our discussions, I mentioned to her that some exercises hurt my lower back, and that I had had lower back pain for a number of years, as well as pain in both upper legs, down to my knees. Lynda suspected that the source of my leg and knee pain was from the pain in my back. She then included exercises to help with the lower back pain. After just a few visits, my knee pain was totally gone and we were then just mostly focusing on back pain. Using the exercises Lynda gave me for my lower back, I can honestly say that I am feeling better than I have in the past 5-10 years!
In total, I had just 6 appointments with Lynda. She is very knowledgeable and would explain things to me in great detail so I would understand why certain things were happening (pain, soreness etc.) and why certain exercises were needed.
The office staff was also great to deal with, always friendly and helpful
I would not hesitate to go back to Lynda again should the need arise, and I have, and will recommend her to anyone who needs a great physiotherapist.

I had a wonderful experience receiving post-partum support from Lynda, specifically for diastasis recti. She was extremely knowledgeable when it came to educating me about diastasis recti, and overall pelvic floor health. Lynda was integral in helping me get back to my normal self physically, and has equipped me with lifelong knowledge and skills. I would highly recommend Lynda to any of my family or friends. She is amazing at what she does and makes you feel at ease!

I started seeing Lynda last year after giving birth and having pelvic floor issues. It's not easy finding a physiotherapist that makes you feel comfortable with these issues. She is extremely responsive (with baby its always easier to book and ask questions via email). Lynda exceeds expectations with her skills, knowledge and client care. I'm so glad I chose this business over all the over options.

Great place and friendly staff! Lynda is very professional and provided me great help after birth my baby. Highly recommend to anyone looking for physio treatment.

I was recommended to elevation by my family doctor for pain in my lower back that would travel down my legs. At the time we weren’t sure what exactly the problem was, but Joelle went right to trying to figure it out, and we were well on our way to helping me get better long before any of my imaging came back. Every session with Joelle has been amazing. I’m typically a very anxious person, but every time I go to elevation I’m not nervous at all and enjoy being there. To me, a session with Joelle is like physiotherapy and therapy at the same time. She genuinely cares about my well-being and is supportive of me, whether it be the problems she’s helping with, or anything that’s happening outside of physiotherapy. While I’m not discharged yet, I’ve come a long way from where I was, am feeling much better and stronger than I was before I was injured and Joelle has congratulated me every step of the way. Joelle is one of the kindest people I’ve met and has been so incredibly helpful in my recovery.

Joelle suggested I book massage therapy with Keri, and while I haven’t spent as much time with Keri as Joelle she is absolutely awesome as well. I’ve never been for a massage before let alone massage therapy, so I wasn’t sure what I was walking into, but Keri was kind and comforting and has quite the sense of humour!

Both Keri and Joelle have been great. At one point I was complacent, thinking I’d be in pain for the rest of me life at such a young age and that was just how things would be, but with both of their help I’m feeling better than I ever have.

The whole team at elevation is par to none. Anna and Courtney are always kind and welcoming the moment you enter the door.

If I could rate higher than a 5, I would.

Keri is amazing! I've been seeing her for years! She is very attentive to my issues, listens and responds to my concerns and offers guidance to improve my well-being. Extremely knowledgeable, best massage ever! Staff is very friendly and accommodating, location is super clean with all necessary COVID protocols in place!

I had a great pre-natal and postpartum physiotherapy experience! I received great explanations about my body, about the exercises to be done and I've got all my questions answered. I will not hesitate to go back when needed.

The Staff at Elevation are the only reason I am able to function on a daily basis.

Both Lynda McClatchie and Keri Edwards are nothing short of Heaven sent angels who are phenomenal at what they do.

The highest praise I can give any healthcare professional is whether or not I would let them treat my kids who are both high performance athletes and I have had both kids treated at Elevation and wouldn't hesitate to bring them here again if the need arose.

You can find other Massage Therapists and Physios, but I guarantee you wont find any better than Lynda and Keri.

When I came to Lynda I had been bed ridden for several months due to pelvic floor injuries and pain. I was extremely anxious, sceptical and pessimistic about the whole notion of physio to cure something so horrifically painful. Lynda instantly registered how many horrible things had happened to me to get me to her office and was deeply respectful, she worked within my comfort and consent zone always and without question. After the first session I was able to walk with significantly less pain than before I came in. The progress continues week to week, she got me back on my feet, and then she got me exercising, and then she got me on a bike - working half the time over videochat and pro bono because of the pandemic. I am almost back to my pre injury self now and my recovery would have been impossible had I not found Lynda. She is a master of her trade, she knows every muscle inside and out of you, she finds how things you overlook might connect and then she fixes them. She has a fantastic sense of humour and empathy and she is the definition of an exemplary pelvic floor physiotherapist! I recommend her with every fiber of my being!

Lynda and staff at Elevation are the best! When I first entered the clinic I could not even walk properly. After my surgery I had been in bed for weeks therefore I was suffering with lots of pain. However being referred to Lynda has changed my situation very quickly. She has been very patient with me and always motivated me to get better every time. With all the exercises and encouragement now I can almost run! I cannot thank Lynda enough.
During this period of closure she also offered virtual treatment. I will be recommending her to family and friends for sure.

Thank-you very much to Lynda McClatchie for eliminating my pain after 2.5 years! After working with 3 different chiropractors, having an ultrasound, meeting with a doctor and working with another physiotherapist, I was referred to Lynda. After a thorough discussion of my symptoms and areas where I was experiencing pain, Lynda was able to diagnose what was wrong and why, which is something that I’ve never been able to get a clear answer about. She was able to do this in the first meeting, which impressed me. She provided me with strengthening exercises to do and we are looking at a new way of addressing my problem areas because it has persisted so long. As it evolves, we will adjust accordingly with new things to do. Thank-you very much Lynda! I highly recommend that anyone who is experiencing pain book an appointment with Lynda. You’ll thank yourself and wish that you had done it sooner.

I met Dr. Lynda with acute Sciatica pain. I had earlier tried medicines and chiropractor but none of them worked. She listened to my history patiently and started her treatment accordingly. First few sessions I did not feel the pain reducing but Dr. Lynda assured me that it will surely reduce if I do what she suggested regularly. And yes it Worked!
Today I can sit for longer hours and walk with very less pain. Thank you Dr. Lynda for your positive and never give up attitude.
Highly recommend to give this clinic a visit before going ahead for a surgery.

Lynda provided me with expert treatment despite my presenting her with a variety of problems re my pelvic floor, back and knees. She explained things in an easy to understand manner and provided me with a variety of demonstrated, effective exercises as “homework”. If you have problems or don’t understand some issues, she responds quickly to e-mails with questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends.

Lynda was amazing! I had a back issue that she helped me improve greatly within 3-4 visits. Warning, she does give homework,:) ie exerices to do but they sure help.
Talk about some one who is passionate about what she does. I would strongly recommend Lynda.

Lynda is truly the best physiotherapist you’ll ever meet! She has so many years of experience, she’s so knowledgeable and amazing to work with. I felt so comfortable with her, and I knew I was in good hands while using her services.

Excellent level of treatment following foot surgery. Lynda is detailed in her questions and examination prior to developing a treatment plan. Very clean clinic with friendly, helpful staff.

Lynda provides the highest quality of care, and is extremely personable. I saw her for several concerns including pelvic health, back pain, and neck pain. She was patient during our time together, and very thorough in her practice.

I would highly recommend Elevation Physiotherapy!

Lynda was so professional, friendly and just great! I loved my experience there! She always took the time to explain things and to listen to how I felt. I wasn’t sure what to expect for pelvic floor physiotherapy but Lynda changed my life forever!
