Years of Combined Experience
Who We Are
Jefferson Forest, Yonge Street and the Route South East
From the Jefferson Forest and Yonge Street area, patients travel south east toward Highway 7 and then east through Markham to reach the clinic.
Hormonal softening of ligaments combined with months of extra weight leaves many people with a permanently flatter, longer foot after a pregnancy. Shoes that fitted perfectly two years ago now rub, arches ache after a walk with the pram, and remeasuring both feet is the sensible first step before anything is bought or built. Length and width are both remeasured. Arch behaviour under load is assessed. Pram walking distances are discussed. Older devices are checked for fit.
- 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.
“Shoes that no longer fit are telling you something real.”
Feet growing half a size during pregnancy is common enough to be unremarkable, yet it surprises almost everyone it happens to. It is a genuine structural change rather than swelling, and the shoes that stopped fitting are usually not going to fit again. Old devices are assessed as well.
What We Offer
Orthotics and Postpartum Care for Jefferson Patients
Chiropractic Care
Back and pelvic ache from carrying and feeding is common in this period, and chiropractic treatment can address the joint restriction behind it. Findings are explained plainly. Both hips are checked.
Physiotherapy
Foot and calf strengthening supports an arch that has dropped, and physiotherapy supplies exercises that fit around a baby. Sessions are kept short. Progress is retested regularly.
Registered Massage Therapy
Feet and calves work hard on long pram walks, and massage therapy can ease the tightness that follows a long outing. Babies can stay in the room. Pressure suits your comfort level.
Acupuncture
Persistent foot pain after birth sometimes eases when acupuncture is added to the plan. Safety while feeding is discussed. Points follow the assessment. Consent is taken each visit.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Arch or heel pain can be treated with Class IV laser therapy, which adds no medication that might complicate feeding. Sessions take a few minutes. Nothing invasive is involved. You can hold your baby.
Custom Orthotics
Cast after the foot has settled into its new shape, custom orthotics support an arch that dropped rather than one that was always low. Both feet are remeasured. Casting happens in one visit.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Rebuilding general strength postpartum benefits from structure, and exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist provides it. Programmes suit short windows. Progress is tracked.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Postpartum recovery frequently involves the pelvic floor, and pelvic floor therapy is delivered by a pelvic-health physiotherapist. A private treatment room is used. Consent guides every step.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Parents often add pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic to the same visit, gentle low-force care for musculoskeletal comfort. Infants are handled with great care. Everything stays measured.
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
Why Jefferson Parents Have Feet Reassessed
Feet are remeasured rather than assumed unchanged, because a pregnancy commonly leaves them longer, wider and flatter than they were before. Pram walking distance is considered. Babies are welcome. Casting is completed in one visit. Free parking sits outside.
Both feet remeasured after birth
Length, width and arch behaviour are all checked again, since the change is frequently uneven between the two feet. Old shoe sizes are set aside.
Pram walking distance considered
Daily walking with a pram adds up quickly, and that distance is factored into both the device and the footwear advice given. Routes and surfaces are discussed.
Babies welcome at appointments
Prams fit in the treatment rooms and appointments can pause for a feed, so childcare does not need arranging beforehand. Ground floor access throughout.
Casting completed in one visit
Assessment, gait review and casting all happen in the same appointment, which matters when getting out of the house takes planning.
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
Why does shoe size change during pregnancy?
Relaxin softens ligaments while additional weight loads the arch, and together they can lengthen and widen the foot permanently.Half a size is typical. Patients from Oak Ridges describe exactly the same change. Both feet are affected unevenly. The change is structural, not swelling.
Can pelvic and back ache relate to arch change?
A dropped arch alters how load travels up the leg, which can contribute to pelvic and low back symptoms.It sits alongside the other postpartum changes rather than explaining them alone. Adding chiropractic care addresses the other end of that chain. Assessment establishes what applies.
When after birth should feet be reassessed?
Waiting a few months allows swelling to settle so the measurement reflects the permanent change rather than temporary fluid.Earlier assessment is fine if pain is limiting you. KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre advises on timing at the first conversation. Breastfeeding can prolong the changes.
Are old orthotics still usable afterwards?
Devices made before a pregnancy are often too short or too narrow afterwards and may cause pressure rather than relief.Bring them for assessment. Patients from Richmond Hill frequently find theirs no longer sit correctly at all. Fit is checked before advice is given. Remaking is often necessary.
Does the change reverse on its own?
Swelling resolves within months, though the structural lengthening of the foot often does not return to its original shape.That surprises many people. To ask what a reassessment would involve, contact us and we will explain the process. Both feet are measured again. Timing advice comes with it.
Can a baby come to the casting appointment?
Which shoes suit long walks with a pram?
A supportive walking shoe with a firm heel counter and room for a device serves better than a soft flexible trainer.Width matters as much as length now. Bring your usual pairs so wear patterns and remaining room can both be assessed properly. Advice stays practical and specific.
Is arch pain common while carrying a child?
Arch and heel pain during pregnancy is very common, driven by weight change and ligament softening together.Support during pregnancy can ease it considerably. Any device made at that stage is usually reviewed again after birth, since the foot keeps changing. Comfort is the priority throughout.
