Running injuries rarely sit in one place, so the assessment looks at the foot, the calf, the hip and your recent training before anything gets treated. These services are available at the same Highway 7 clinic and several combine well with laser.

Years of Combined Experience
Who We Are
Milne Dam Conservation Park sits a short drive south of us by way of McCowan Road, and a good share of the Middlefield patients we treat have picked up their injury on those trails or on the roads running beside them. Laser therapy acts on the tissue itself rather than on the symptom, using deep warm light that can help reduce inflammation and support repair in tendon and muscle. Paired with a sensible return to mileage, it gives you something useful to do during the quiet weeks other than wait.
- 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.
“Rest removes the load, it does not repair the tissue.”
Runners are told to stop, and stopping does let the pain settle, but it changes very little about the state of the tendon that failed under load. Treatment acting on the tissue while you rebuild volume gradually is what keeps the same injury from arriving again six weeks later.
What We Offer
Services Middlefield Runners Often Combine With Laser
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care looks at the pelvis and low back when a running gait has gone asymmetrical, which is often where a stubborn hamstring or hip complaint has quietly begun to develop.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy rebuilds tendon capacity through graded loading, the part of running rehab that decides whether you reach full mileage or keep re-injuring the very same spot again and again.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy eases calf, quadriceps and glute tightness between your harder sessions, and the registered massage therapists here coordinate their timing with your laser appointments.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can help with pain that lingers once the tissue itself has settled, giving you another option when a running injury has outlasted the timeline you were originally given.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy is the service this page covers, using deep therapeutic light that can reduce inflammation and support healing in exactly the tendons that distance runners irritate most.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are assessed and cast on site, useful when arch collapse or an awkward foot strike keeps sending load straight up into the shin, the knee or the hip on every single run.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Exercise rehabilitation from a registered kinesiologist gives you a structured strength block, the thing most runners skip and the thing most running injuries eventually end up demanding.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy is provided privately by a physiotherapist with pelvic health training, relevant for runners managing leakage or pelvic pain as weekly mileage begins to climb again.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic offers gentle, low force care for musculoskeletal comfort during pregnancy and childhood, including runners who want to stay active and comfortable while pregnant.
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
How We Work With Your Training Week
Runners get more from treatment when it is planned around mileage instead of simply layered on it, so we schedule class IV laser therapy against your week, review progress at every visit, and bill extended health directly. Parking is free right at the door.
Treatment Timed to Your Mileage
Appointments are placed where they help, usually after your longer efforts, so the tissue is treated when it has just been loaded rather than at random.
Progress Reviewed Every Session
Each visit opens with what has changed since the last one, so the plan moves with the injury instead of running a fixed number of sessions regardless.
Prompt Appointment Turnaround
Waiting three weeks for a first assessment can cost a whole running season. We hold space for new injuries so treatment starts while the problem is small.
Free On-Site Parking
Parking at 6605 Highway 7 is free and directly outside, which matters when you are attending twice a week through the middle of a rehab block.
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
Can laser therapy and physiotherapy share one treatment plan?
Yes, and for most running injuries that combination is the sensible version of the plan. Physiotherapy supplies the graded loading that rebuilds tendon capacity, while laser works on inflammation and tissue healing in between, so the two sit either side of the same problem. Most plans use both.
Is the clinic a straight run down McCowan from Middlefield?
Yes, McCowan Road takes you almost door to door, and the drive from the Milne Dam area is a matter of minutes. Free parking sits right outside the entrance at 6605 Highway 7. Runners from Milliken Mills come across on the same route. The whole trip rarely takes more than ten minutes in normal traffic.
Who do I speak to about starting laser therapy this week?
The front desk handles booking and can usually place a first assessment within a few days. contact us with the injury, how long you have had it and what your training week currently looks like, and we will let you know what an appropriate course would involve. Assessments are usually available within days.
How many sessions does a running-related strain usually take?
Most soft-tissue strains are given an initial block of six to eight sessions, then reassessed rather than extended automatically. Acute injuries often need fewer, while a tendon problem carried for months tends to need more. You get a number at assessment, not an open-ended plan.
Which practitioners here deliver Class IV laser therapy?
Laser is delivered by the chiropractors and physiotherapists at KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre, depending on who is managing your case. The clinic runs several disciplines under one roof, so the practitioner treating your running injury is also the one setting the laser dose and schedule.
Does laser therapy hurt, and what does it feel like?
Do Armadale runners get seen at this location as well?
Yes, Armadale is close enough that a twice-weekly rehab block stays realistic through the whole course. We see runners from Armadale on the same schedule as Middlefield patients, and the assessment and dosing approach does not change between the two. Free parking sits outside the entrance.
Would laser help a Legacy patient with an old ankle sprain?
An ankle that never fully recovered is worth reassessing, because the limiting factor is often stiffness and weakness rather than damage. Laser can ease residual pain while strength work restores the joint. Residents can also read our Legacy page. An assessment will tell you which it is.
