Who We Are
Growing pains is a description rather than a diagnosis, and it covers a range of things from simple activity-related aching to conditions worth identifying properly. Assessment separates the ordinary from the unusual, screens for the features that need a physician, and addresses the musculoskeletal side where that is what it turns out to be. Activity levels are counted weekly. Night pain is asked about directly. A parent stays throughout. Referral happens where warranted.
- 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.
“Growing pains is a description, not a diagnosis.”
Most children with aching legs have something entirely benign, and a few do not. Working out which is which matters more than any treatment, and it is the reason the first appointment is largely an assessment. Screening comes before treatment. Parents hear the reasoning throughout.
What We Offer
Children’s Care and Related Services for L’Amoreaux Families
Chiropractic Care
Parents attending with a child can arrange general chiropractic treatment for their own complaints. Appointments run consecutively. Findings are explained. Practitioners are registered.
Physiotherapy
Heel and knee conditions in children are also assessed within physiotherapy, which runs alongside this care. Notes are shared with consent. Referral is simple. Both plans stay coordinated.
Registered Massage Therapy
Calf tightness during growth spurts is very common, and massage therapy is available where consent is given. A parent stays in the room. Pressure is kept comfortable. Nothing is forced.
Acupuncture
Older teenagers with persistent pain sometimes have acupuncture considered, with parental consent taken first. Points follow the assessment. Everything is explained. Nothing proceeds otherwise.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Heel pain in an older child can be treated with Class IV laser therapy alongside an activity review. Growth plates are avoided. Parental consent is taken first. Sessions run a few minutes.
Custom Orthotics
Foot posture contributes to heel and knee aches, and custom orthotics cast on site can form part of a plan. Sport footwear is fitted at casting. Refits are planned for growth. Gait is reviewed.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Calf and hip strengthening helps growing athletes, and exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist keeps it age-appropriate. Load rises gradually. Parents stay in the room.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Parents attending with a child can arrange pelvic floor therapy privately with a pelvic-health physiotherapist. A private treatment room is used. Assessment stays discreet. Consent guides each step.

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
Why L’Amoreaux Parents Start With an Assessment
Sorting the ordinary from the unusual matters more than any treatment, so the first appointment is largely about working out which one this is. Night pain is asked about. Sport load is counted. Referral happens where warranted. Parents stay throughout.
Night pain asked about specifically
Pain that wakes a child or occurs at rest is asked about directly, because those features change what should happen next. Findings are documented clearly.
Sport load counted alongside
Club sessions, school fixtures and free play are added together, since total weekly load explains most activity-related aching. Coaches can receive notes.
Referral where warranted
Anything suggesting a cause beyond musculoskeletal discomfort goes to a physician rather than being managed here. Scope is explained to parents.
Ground floor access throughout
Entrance, reception and treatment rooms sit at ground level with parking outside, which suits arriving with several children. No parking fee applies.
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.
