Years of Combined Experience
Who We Are
Golfers travelling north east via Kennedy Road from the Tam O’Shanter Golf Course book treatment across the latissimus dorsi, obliques, thoracic paraspinals and lead-side hip. Rotation happens overwhelmingly one way, so tightness develops asymmetrically and the gap between sides widens through the summer. Treatment works both sides while giving the restricted one more attention, with side-to-side comparison checked at every visit and heavier work scheduled away from tournaments.
- 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.
“A season of turning one way leaves the body turned one way”
Golf is a rotational sport played almost entirely in a single direction. By August the lead side moves differently from the trail side, and most players notice only when the swing feels restricted. Treatment through the summer keeps that asymmetry from settling in.
What We Offer
Golf Support Across the Same Building
Chiropractic Care
Thoracic rotation restriction limits a backswing directly, and chiropractic care restores those segments through spinal adjustment, often producing an immediate change in how freely a player turns.
Physiotherapy
Measuring rotation properly belongs with a physiotherapy assessment, which compares hip and thoracic rotation side to side before building the mobility and strength plan that follows.
Registered Massage Therapy
Provided by CMTO registered therapists, massage therapy here works the latissimus dorsi, obliques and thoracic tissue, with side-to-side comparison checked at every appointment through the season.
Acupuncture
Persistent low back and rib tension across a season sometimes eases with acupuncture, using fine sterile single-use needles placed by a registered acupuncturist through the affected area.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Irritated tissue at the elbow, wrist or rib can be treated with Class IV laser therapy, which fits into just a few minutes even during the very busiest stretch of a playing season.
Custom Orthotics
Four hours of walking plus a rotational load asks a lot of the feet, and custom orthotics are assessed and cast here on site so the finished fit matches both golf shoes and street shoes.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Rotational strength and endurance through exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist holds a swing together right across eighteen holes rather than only through the front nine.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Rotational sport can provoke pelvic symptoms, and pelvic floor therapy provides private, discreet assessment from a registered physiotherapist trained specifically in pelvic health.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Golfing families sometimes book pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic together, since it offers gentle, low-force care for children and for musculoskeletal comfort during pregnancy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Soft Tissue Work Across a Playing Season
Players near Tam O’Shanter book here because rotational asymmetry is measured rather than assumed. Both sides are treated with the restricted one favoured, heavier work avoids tournament weeks, and every therapist here is CMTO registered and experienced.
Side-to-side difference tracked
Rotational range is compared between sides at each appointment, which shows whether the seasonal asymmetry is growing or holding steady.
Heavier work avoids tournaments
Deeper treatment is scheduled away from competitive rounds, since soft tissue work can leave the swing feeling briefly unfamiliar afterwards.
Both sides treated
The trail side receives attention as well as the restricted lead side, because treating only one direction reinforces the imbalance further.
Free parking, direct billing
Parking costs nothing outside the entrance and most insurers are billed directly, keeping regular treatment practical across a full season.
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 does one side of my back feel tighter than the other?
A golf swing rotates the trunk overwhelmingly in one direction, so tissue on the two sides adapts differently across a season. That difference grows steadily through the summer months. Comparing both sides at each appointment shows whether treatment is holding the asymmetry in check.
Should I have a massage before a competitive round?
Keep anything within two days of a competition light, since deeper soft tissue work can leave the swing feeling briefly unfamiliar. Heavier treatment belongs earlier in the playing week itself. Players from Agincourt plan their whole season schedule around exactly this principle.
Can soft tissue treatment improve my turn?
Releasing the latissimus dorsi and thoracic tissue often increases rotational range, though holding onto that range requires strength work as well. Treatment opens up the movement and exercise keeps it there. Golfers from L’Amoreaux typically combine both approaches right across the playing season.
Does golfer’s elbow respond to massage therapy?
Forearm soft tissue treatment eases the tension contributing to medial elbow pain, and loading work addresses the tendon itself. The two together work considerably better than either alone. Grip pressure and club fit are worth reviewing where symptoms keep returning each season.
How often should a golfer book during the season?
Every two to three weeks suits most players through the season itself, with a longer gap once the courses close for the winter. Frequency depends largely on how many rounds you play. You can contact us to arrange a recurring time that matches how often you get out onto the course.
Is treatment useful during the off season?
What is the drive from the golf course?
The route runs north east via Kennedy Road from the Tam O’Shanter Golf Course, then east along Highway 7 to McCowan Road. Allow roughly twenty five minutes outside peak periods. KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre has free parking directly outside the entrance for players arriving straight from a round.
Do you treat wrists and hands as well?
Forearm, wrist and hand treatment is included wherever grip pressure and repeated impact have produced tension across the playing season. These areas are very commonly overlooked in golfers generally. Treatment covers them alongside the trunk and hip work that rotation demands.
