Elevr · Pain and return-to-sport

What we actually do
Load, strength, recovery — in that order.
Pain coaching is not a diagnosis and it is not a massage. It is the work around the injury: the load you can tolerate, the strength that makes the tissue more robust, the sleep and stress that change how the week feels, and the gates that decide when to push.
- Tendon and return-to-sport loading with clear pain rules
- Strength and landing work for athletes and active adults
- Sleep, stress and recovery routines that survive real life
- Filmed movement reviews and weekly adjustments
- Softwave in Toronto as an adjunct, never a substitute for loading
What we do not do
No pretending to be a clinic.
If you have a suspected rupture, a new injury, worsening pain, numbness, weakness or another red flag, see a licensed clinician first. Daniel does not diagnose, prescribe, perform massage therapy or provide medical telemedicine.
If you are already working with a physiotherapist, physician or surgeon, the coaching can be built around their restrictions — with your consent.
The work
Three ways the coaching shows up.
Back to the thing you love
A phased plan with pain rules, strength gates and filmed check-ins. Built for the athlete who wants a route back, not a vague promise.

The short answers
Is this physiotherapy?
No. Daniel is a performance coach (CSCS/CPT), not a physiotherapist. The work is coaching and education: load management, strength, tendon protocols and return-to-sport decisions, built to sit alongside your clinician's care.
Can you diagnose my pain?
No. A diagnosis belongs with a licensed clinician. Daniel works from the diagnosis and restrictions you already have, and will send you back to a clinician when the presentation needs one.
Do you offer massage?
No. Softwave in Toronto is a device-based adjunct, not massage therapy. If you want registered massage therapy, the care navigation page explains where it belongs.
Can I do this online?
Yes. Programming, video review and weekly check-ins run online worldwide. In-person Softwave is only in Toronto; in-person coaching in other cities is by arrangement.
