Running complaints move between muscle, tendon and joint across a season, and several regulated professions practise at 6605 Highway 7 in Markham. Morningside runners often book two appointments. Free parking sits outside the entrance.

Who We Are
Placing Sessions Within a Training Week
Treatment can leave the legs briefly heavy, so a session sits better near an easy day than on the evening before a hard effort. Timing is planned.
Runners driving north via Markham Road from Morningside Park book acupuncture when calf tightness and Achilles discomfort start limiting mileage. Points are placed through the gastrocnemius, soleus and surrounding tissue, and the session is scheduled around your training rather than dropped anywhere. Weekly mileage and recent increases are reviewed. Progress is tracked by morning stiffness. Sessions run about forty minutes in total. Notes carry forward between appointments.
- 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.
“Needling eases the calf, loading fixes the tendon”
An Achilles that hurts has less capacity than the running being asked of it, and no amount of needling changes capacity. What treatment offers is relief that makes the loading programme tolerable. The loading itself produces the durable change. Both are arranged inside one building.
What We Offer
Running Support at the Clinic
Chiropractic Care
Pelvic and lumbar restriction alters running mechanics, and chiropractic care addresses those joints with spinal adjustment. Soft tissue work follows on. Findings pass between practitioners.
Physiotherapy
Tendon capacity returns through progressive loading, which is where physiotherapy provides assessment and a calf programme. Progress is measured each visit. Programmes run across three months.
Registered Massage Therapy
Calf tightness accumulating through a training block eases with massage therapy from a Registered Massage Therapist alongside needling. Depth is agreed beforehand. Both fit within a single visit.
Acupuncture
Provided by a registered acupuncturist, acupuncture places fine sterile needles through the gastrocnemius and soleus. Retention lasts twenty minutes. Timing suits your training week.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
An irritated Achilles tendon can be treated with Class IV laser therapy, applying deep therapeutic light in only a few minutes. Nothing penetrates the skin. It adds easily onto an existing visit.
Custom Orthotics
Foot mechanics drive a great deal of calf loading, and custom orthotics are assessed and cast here on site during one appointment. The fit matches your running shoes. Everyday footwear is covered too.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Calf and tendon loading through exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist raises the capacity weekly mileage demands. Progressions are supervised. Loads rise steadily week by week.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Runners managing leakage on longer efforts can arrange pelvic floor therapy privately with a registered physiotherapist. Pelvic health training is held. A private room is used throughout.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Running families sometimes add pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic, which provides gentle, low-force care for children and comfort in pregnancy. Techniques stay low-force throughout.
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
Timed Around Your Mileage
Morningside runners book here because a session is placed where it helps within a training week rather than wherever a gap appears. Tendon loading is recommended from the very first visit. Practitioners are CTCMPAO registered. Needles are single-use.
Training week considered
Sessions are scheduled near easy days rather than before hard efforts, since treatment can leave the legs briefly heavy. Timing is agreed together.
Loading recommended alongside
Needling eases calf tension while progressive loading builds tendon capacity, and both are arranged in the same building. Neither works alone.
Same-week appointments
Bookings usually open within the week, which matters when a training block is underway and mileage cannot simply pause. Recurring slots help.
Free parking, direct billing
Parking costs nothing outside the door and most extended health plans covering acupuncture are billed directly. Receipts are issued each visit.
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.

Frequent Asked Questions
Can acupuncture help Achilles pain?
Needling the calf can ease the tension pulling through the Achilles, which often reduces morning stiffness noticeably. The tendon itself gains capacity only through progressive loading. Both are arranged in this building. Morning stiffness is tracked between visits. Review follows six sessions.
How soon can I run after a session?
Easy running the same day is usually fine, while a hard session sits better the following day after deeper treatment. Legs can feel briefly heavy for a few hours. Runners from Malvern schedule around easy days. Timing becomes obvious with experience. Easy running the same day is fine.
Should I book near a long run?
Leave a day between treatment and a long run, since the legs occasionally feel flat immediately afterwards. Lighter sessions before a long effort are fine. Scheduling is planned around your week. Most runners settle into a rhythm. Nothing is fixed rigidly. Depth is agreed at each appointment.
Does needling replace calf strengthening?
No, needling eases symptoms while calf strengthening raises the tendon capacity that running demands. Only loading changes what the tendon tolerates. Runners from Highland Creek combine both approaches. Programmes run across three months. Needling makes that work tolerable. Programmes run over three months.
Will my legs feel heavy afterwards?
Some runners notice heaviness for a few hours following a deeper session, which settles by the next morning. Lighter treatment avoids it almost entirely. Depth is agreed before each session begins. Feedback shapes the following appointment. Nothing is repeated blindly. Most runners learn their own pattern.
Does mileage need to drop while I’m being treated?
