Who We Are
Scarborough General Hospital, Markham at Lawrence and the Route North
Woburn staff travel north on Markham Road from the Lawrence Avenue area, then east along Highway 7 to reach the clinic sited at McCowan Road.
Twelve hours on a ward is demanding before a pregnancy and considerably harder during one, particularly through the third trimester. Musculoskeletal care addresses the back and pelvic side of it, while the practical conversation about breaks, handling and hours belongs partly here and partly with your occupational health team. Standing hours are counted per shift. Handling duties are discussed frankly. Occupational health is worth involving. Your midwife guidance takes precedence.
- 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.
“Twelve hours on a ward is hard before a pregnancy.”
During one it becomes something else again, and the advice to simply rest more rarely survives contact with a rota. Practical accommodations and musculoskeletal care together achieve more than either does on its own. Accommodations are worth requesting. Nothing assumes you can stop.
What We Offer
Pregnancy Care and Shift Support for Woburn Staff
Chiropractic Care
Colleagues and partners can arrange general chiropractic treatment for their own complaints at the same clinic. Appointments run consecutively. Findings are explained. Practitioners are registered.
Physiotherapy
Where symptoms need a different assessment, physiotherapy provides that alongside this care here. Notes are shared with consent. Referral is simple. Both plans stay properly coordinated.
Registered Massage Therapy
Tension accumulates across a rota block, and massage therapy can ease that with side-lying positioning used throughout. Timing suits the first rest day. Pressure stays comfortable.
Acupuncture
Some patients ask about acupuncture during pregnancy, and suitability is assessed carefully beforehand. Points are chosen conservatively. Your midwife is consulted. Consent is taken each visit.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Laser is generally avoided in pregnancy, and Class IV laser therapy remains available to colleagues instead. Screening happens beforehand. Suitability is assessed. Caution guides the decision.
Custom Orthotics
Hard ward flooring punishes pregnant feet, and custom orthotics cast on site can be fitted into hospital footwear. Both feet are remeasured. Casting takes one appointment. Shoes are brought in.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Maintaining strength helps a shift-working pregnancy, and exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist keeps it appropriate. Load adjusts by trimester. Sessions stay short by design.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Long hours upright worsen pelvic symptoms, and pelvic floor therapy is delivered privately by a pelvic-health physiotherapist. A private treatment room is used. Consent guides each step.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Delivered under the College of Chiropractors of Ontario, pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic targets musculoskeletal comfort. Techniques stay gentle and low-force. Scope is explained at the outset.
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 Woburn Hospital Staff Come Here While Pregnant
The rota is treated as a fixed reality rather than something to be advised away, so accommodations and comfort measures are discussed practically. Standing hours are counted. Handling duties are discussed. Rota patterns are accommodated. Parking is free.
Accommodations discussed practically
What is worth requesting from occupational health is talked through, since most staff underestimate what can reasonably be adjusted.
Standing hours counted
Shift length, break frequency and how much is spent stationary are recorded, because standing still is harder than moving. Patterns are reviewed at visits.
Gentle low-force techniques
Positioning and pressure are adapted for pregnancy at each stage, with side-lying and supported setups used throughout. Everything is explained first.
Rota patterns accommodated
Appointments are arranged around a rolling shift pattern rather than a fixed weekly slot, which is what makes attendance possible.
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.
