Welcome! I’m Dr Daniel Tiboldi, a doctorate in Physiotherapy with a specialized focus on tennis-specific injuries. In addition to my rich background in tennis as a former NCAA Division I player and experience as a professional hitter with high-level ATP, WTA, and ITF players, I also bring extensive experience in other sports. I have worked as a physiotherapist in field hockey, football, and athletics, including serving as a physiotherapist at two Athletics World Championships and traveling internationally with the Western Wildcats hockey team to major European competitions. My expertise lies in injury prevention and rehabilitation, to keep tennis players on the court, performing at their best.
