Don't Let Shin Splints Stop Your Run.
Professional physiotherapy targeting the root cause of lower leg pain. Get back to the pavement with the Lakeside Method.
That familiar ache along your shin bone? It’s a warning.
Shin splints, or Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS), occur when the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue around your tibia become overworked. Left untreated, it can progress to stress fractures.
Common Symptoms:
- Tenderness or soreness along the inner side of your shin bone.
- Mild swelling in the lower leg.
- Pain that starts at the beginning of exercise but may linger afterward.
- Sharp pain when hopping or running on hard surfaces.
Our Comprehensive Lower Limb Protocol

Gait & Biomechanical Analysis
We record your running form to identify stride issues or footwear deficiencies that load the tibia.

Manual Therapy
Targeted soft tissue work to release tension in the soleus and posterior tibialis muscles.

Graduated Loading Program
A customized exercise plan to strengthen your bone density and calf muscles, ensuring a safe "Return to Run" schedule.

I had a great experience at Lakeside Health and Sport. My physiotherapy assessment with Saurav Roy was excellent. I went in with a right-hand issue and couldn’t lift weights properly, and he made noticeable progress in just one session. I also had a 60-minute massage with Jordan Trivino, who was very professional and focused exactly on the tight areas. I left feeling much better. Highly recommend both!![]()

What a great experience with Dr. Saurav, after trying three different Phisio clinics, I’m happy to have landed something so close to home where Mary at the front desk takes care of me like I’m family and Dr. Saurav treats my Phisio needs with impeccable detail, where he has treated and found areas of concern that other do not even look at. From the initial consultation to only my second appointment I feel a difference and have hope that I’ll be able to run my next marathon in the not to distant future!! Thank you to all the staff at Lakeside Physiotherapy!!![]()

Jane So is the most attentive physiotherapist I’ve ever been too! She asked lots of questions and manipulated my leg and sore knee in many ways and asked for feedback to understand the underlying cause of my pain. Well, I had been suffering for weeks, and within days of following the exercises and other instructions I felt much better.![]()
