Who We Are
UTSC Campus, Old Kingston Road and the Route North
Families head north on Markham Road from the campus and Old Kingston Road area, then east along Highway 7 to reach the clinic at McCowan Road.
Low back discomfort in a competing adolescent is common enough that it often goes unmentioned, and a proportion of cases have a specific cause worth identifying. Assessment counts the training volume, screens for the features that need imaging or a physician, and addresses the musculoskeletal side where that is what it turns out to be. Weekly training volume is counted. A parent stays throughout. Referral happens where warranted. Hip mobility is assessed. Growth stage is considered.
- 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.
“Common is not the same as nothing to look at.”
Plenty of adolescent athletes ache, and most of it is training-related and straightforward. A smaller number have something specific, and the only way to tell is to assess rather than assume. That is what a first appointment is for. Parents hear the reasoning throughout.

A localised complaint in an older athlete can be treated with Class IV laser therapy where appropriate. Growth plates are avoided. Parental consent is taken first. Sessions run a few minutes.

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 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 Highland Creek Athletes Get Assessed Properly
Common does not mean unremarkable, so an aching adolescent back is screened rather than waved through as an inevitable part of competing. Training volume is counted. Night pain is screened for. Referral happens where warranted. Parents stay in the room.
Training volume counted
Club sessions, school sport, gym work and free play are added together, since total load explains most of these complaints. Coaches can receive notes.
Night pain screened for
Pain that wakes an athlete or occurs at rest is asked about directly, because those features change what should happen next. Findings are documented clearly.
Referral where warranted
Where the pattern suggests something specific, imaging or a specialist opinion is arranged rather than treatment simply continuing.
A parent stays in the room
A parent or guardian attends throughout and gives consent, while findings are explained to the athlete directly as well. Questions are welcome from both.
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.

Does training volume matter more than technique?

When is imaging appropriate?
