Wrist recovery often involves the elbow, shoulder and neck, since the whole arm stiffens during immobilisation. Several regulated professions practise at the same Highway 7 address, so an Agincourt patient can address the full chain in one visit.

Who We Are
Stiffness, Swelling and Grip After Six Weeks in a Cast
A wrist held still for six weeks loses range, grip and confidence together, and each of those needs its own part of the rehabilitation programme.
Patients travel north east via Kennedy Road from the Agincourt Recreation Centre on Glen Watford because small joints reward detailed work. Assessment records wrist flexion, extension, rotation, grip strength and swelling, giving numbers to work against. Treatment combines joint mobilization, swelling management and a graded home programme performed several times daily. Loading moves from gentle gripping to weight bearing through the hand, and measurements repeat so improvement stays visible.
- Multidisciplinary Team
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.
- Movement Based Approach
We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.
“Grip strength returns through use, guided and gradual”
Grip often sits at half its former strength when a cast comes off, and that number worries people more than it should. Strength returns steadily once the wrist has enough range to be loaded properly. The order matters: mobility first, then endurance, then power, with each stage measured before the next begins.
What We Offer
Services That Support Upper Limb Recovery
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care addresses the neck and shoulder stiffness that develops while an arm is held in a cast or sling, using spinal adjustment and soft tissue therapy for the whole upper quadrant.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy guides wrist and hand recovery, measuring range, grip and swelling each visit, then progressing joint mobilization and loading in a specific order that suits healing tissue.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy from a Registered Massage Therapist eases the forearm and hand tightness that lingers after immobilisation, which makes the daily stretching programme easier to complete.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture provides a drug-free option for persistent wrist ache and swelling, using fine sterile single-use needles placed by a registered acupuncturist around the forearm, wrist and hand.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy applies therapeutic light to a stiff, swollen wrist, which can help ease pain and support tissue healing during treatment sessions that take only a few minutes each.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics address the feet rather than the wrist, though many patients use the same visit to address foot or heel pain, with assessment and casting both completed on site that day.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist rebuilds whole arm strength once the wrist tolerates load, restoring the pushing, pulling and carrying capacity that work requires.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy is offered privately by a registered physiotherapist with pelvic health training, and can be booked alongside upper limb care during the same trip to the clinic.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic provides gentle, low-force care for musculoskeletal comfort during pregnancy and for children, arranged in the same building on a single family visit.
How It Works
Your Path from Pain to Lasting Movement
Every patient at KC Rehab follows the same proven four step process, designed to uncover the root cause of your pain or restriction and build a recovery plan that actually lasts.
Step 1
Consultation and Assessment
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your history, lifestyle, and goals. We then perform a hands on movement assessment to identify the underlying mechanics behind your symptoms.
Step 2
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment findings, we build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, goals, and timeline. This may combine chiropractic, physiotherapy, RMT, acupuncture, and exercise rehabilitation.
Step 3
Active Treatment & Therapy
Your plan comes to life through manual therapy, targeted exercise, and the modalities best suited to your condition. Every session is monitored and adjusted based on your progress.
Step 4
Ongoing Care & Prevention
Once you have recovered, we equip you with the exercises, ergonomic advice, and maintenance schedule you need to stay pain-free and continue moving well for years to come.
Why CHoose Us
Detailed Rehabilitation for Small Joints
Agincourt patients choose our physiotherapy for the measurement habit that hand recovery needs. Range, grip and swelling are recorded at each visit, splint and brace questions are answered clearly, and appointments open quickly once a cast comes off.
Grip and range measured each visit
Wrist range and grip strength are recorded at every appointment, so progress is tracked in numbers rather than judged on how the hand feels that morning.
Splint and brace guidance
Wearing schedules, fit problems and when to stop using a brace are covered directly, since these questions rarely get answered fully at a fracture clinic.
Prompt post-cast appointments
Assessment slots are usually available within days of cast removal, when a stiff wrist responds well to early mobilisation and swelling control.
Direct billing available
Most extended health insurers are billed directly, and receipts are issued the same day for anything your plan does not fully cover.
RESTORE. REBUILD. RECOVER.
Whether it has been a week or a decade, you do not have to keep adjusting your life around pain. Book your initial assessment at KC Rehab today and find out what real, movement based recovery actually feels like.
Our Customer Testimonials
Frequent Asked Questions
Why is my wrist so stiff after the cast came off?
Stiffness after cast removal comes from shortened soft tissue, joint capsule tightness and swelling rather than from the fracture itself. Six weeks without movement changes the tissue around the joint. Regular short bouts of movement through the day restore range faster than one long daily session.
How soon after cast removal should physiotherapy start?
Physiotherapy usually starts within the first week after the cast comes off, once your fracture clinic confirms the bone has united. Early mobilisation limits the stiffness that becomes harder to reverse later. Patients from L’Amoreaux are typically seen within a few days of that appointment.
Can I get grip strength back to what it was?
Most people regain grip strength close to their previous level over three to six months following a wrist fracture. Recovery depends on range returning first, since a stiff wrist cannot generate force safely. Age, fracture pattern and how consistently the home programme is done all matter.
Is swelling in the hand normal weeks after a fracture?
Some swelling for six to twelve weeks after a wrist fracture is expected, particularly at the end of an active day. Elevation, movement and compression all help it settle. Swelling that is worsening, hot or paired with severe pain needs review, as patients from Milliken are told.
What does a wrist rehabilitation session look like?
A session combines measurement, hands-on joint and soft tissue work, then supervised exercise before updating your home programme. Sessions run about thirty minutes from start to finish. Patients from Tam O’Shanter usually attend weekly at first, then less often as movement and grip return.
How do I confirm my plan covers physiotherapy?
Does chiropractic care address forearm and elbow tension?
Chiropractic care can help the elbow, shoulder and neck stiffness that develops while an arm is immobilised. chiropractic care uses joint mobilization and soft tissue therapy through the upper limb and spine, which complements the detailed wrist and hand work physiotherapy provides.
What other treatments are offered at the same location?
Massage therapy, acupuncture, laser therapy, chiropractic care, kinesiology and orthotics assessment are all provided at the same Highway 7 address. KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre coordinates appointments across those services, reducing the separate trips needed during a recovery lasting months.
