Who We Are
Positioning and Point Selection in Pregnancy
Side lying with cushions replaces lying flat entirely, and certain points are avoided in pregnancy as a matter of standard practice throughout.
Patients travelling east along Highway 7 from Yonge and Finch book acupuncture when pelvic girdle discomfort makes walking and turning in bed difficult. Treatment addresses musculoskeletal comfort only, using points selected for pregnancy and side lying positioning supported by cushions. Your trimester is recorded at every visit. Nothing here concerns labour or delivery. Points are reviewed at every visit. Notes carry forward between appointments. Review follows roughly six sessions.
- 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.
“Comfort during the session matters as much as the treatment”
Lying flat becomes uncomfortable well before the third trimester, so positioning is arranged first and treatment fits around it. Side lying with cushions under the bump and between the knees suits most patients. Nothing is held awkwardly for twenty minutes. Comfort is checked throughout.
What We Offer
Pregnancy Support Across the Clinic
Chiropractic Care
Pelvic and sacroiliac restriction contributes to girdle pain, and chiropractic care uses gentle low-force technique during pregnancy. Force stays minimal throughout. Positioning is adapted too.
Physiotherapy
Support belts, movement strategies and strengthening come through physiotherapy, which assesses how the pelvis is loading. Progress is measured each visit. Advice suits your trimester.
Registered Massage Therapy
Gluteal and low back tension eases with massage therapy from a Registered Massage Therapist, using pregnancy positioning. Both fit within a single visit. Receipts are issued on the day.
Acupuncture
Delivered by a registered acupuncturist, needling uses points selected for pregnancy with certain areas avoided as standard practice. Side lying positioning is used. Retention lasts twenty minutes.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Laser is generally avoided during pregnancy, though Class IV laser therapy remains available after delivery. Suitability is assessed individually. Nothing is used unless appropriate.
Custom Orthotics
Foot changes during pregnancy affect how the pelvis loads, and custom orthotics are assessed and cast here on site. Casting takes a single appointment. Support often eases walking.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Safe strengthening through exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist supports the pelvis through later pregnancy. Loads rise gradually each week. Programmes suit your own goals.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic health assessment through pelvic floor therapy with a registered physiotherapist suits prenatal and postpartum recovery. Training is specific to pelvic health. A private room is used.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Gentle, low-force care during pregnancy and for children comes through pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic at the same address. Techniques stay low-force. Families book together often.
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.
