Who We Are

Rouge Park, Reesor Road and the Route West along Highway 7
Locust Hill patients follow Highway 7 west from Reesor Road and the Rouge Park lands, continuing west toward McCowan Road and the clinic entrance.

A six week postnatal check confirms that healing has progressed and is not an assessment of pelvic floor function. The two get conflated constantly, and a great many people take clearance to mean everything has recovered when nobody examined it. Assessment establishes what has returned and what has not, which is a different question entirely. Clearance and function differ. Symptoms are asked about directly. Assessment establishes what returned. Referral happens where warranted.

Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.

We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.

“Cleared at six weeks is not the same as recovered.”

The postnatal check is a medical clearance rather than a functional assessment, and nobody usually says so. People assume everything is fine because they were told they were fine, about a different question altogether. Function is assessed separately. Symptoms are asked about.

What We Offer

Postnatal Care and Related Services for Locust Hill Patients

Postnatal recovery spans pelvic floor, abdominal wall and general strength, and several professions work here. More than one can be seen in a visit. Assessment decides the priorities. Babies are welcome in the room. Nothing is rushed at any stage.

Chiropractic Care

Back ache from carrying and feeding is common, and chiropractic care can address that alongside this care. Techniques stay gentle. Findings are explained. Babies stay in the room. Comfort comes first.

Physiotherapy

General postnatal recovery is assessed within physiotherapy, which runs alongside this care where useful. Notes are shared with consent. Referral is simple. Plans stay coordinated.

Registered Massage Therapy

Neck and upper back tension from feeding builds fast, and massage therapy can ease that between visits. Babies can stay. Draping stays modest. Pressure matches you. Comfort is checked.

Acupuncture

Persistent aches after birth sometimes ease when acupuncture is added, with feeding safety discussed. Points follow the assessment. Reasoning is explained. Consent is taken each visit.

Class IV K-Laser Therapy

Localised joint pain can be treated with Class IV laser therapy, which adds no medication at all. Feeding is unaffected. Sessions take minutes. You can hold your baby. Screening happens first.

Custom Orthotics

Feet often change shape during pregnancy, and custom orthotics cast on site can ease pram walking. Both feet are remeasured. Casting takes one visit. Footwear is fitted. Gait is reviewed.

Exercise Rehabilitation

Rebuilding strength postnatally benefits from structure, and exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist provides it. Sessions fit short windows. Progress is recorded each visit.

Pelvic Floor Therapy

Delivered under the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, pelvic floor therapy assesses postnatal recovery privately. Internal assessment stays optional. Consent guides every step.

Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic

Postpartum back ache is very common, and pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic offers gentle low-force care alongside. Techniques stay gentle. Babies are welcome. Positioning is adapted.

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 Locust Hill Patients Get Function Assessed

Being cleared at six weeks answers a medical question, and pelvic floor function is a different one that nobody usually asks about. Symptoms are asked about directly. Recovery is assessed properly. Babies are welcome here. Parking is free. Nothing is assumed.

Recovery assessed, not assumed

What has returned and what has not is examined rather than inferred from a clearance given for a different purpose entirely. Nothing is assumed fine.

Symptoms asked about directly

Leakage, heaviness and pain are asked about specifically, because almost nobody raises them without being asked first. No judgement attaches.

Babies welcome in the room

Prams fit in the treatment rooms and appointments pause for a feed, so childcare never needs arranging beforehand. Ground floor access throughout.

Internal assessment optional

Internal assessment is one option among several and declining it changes nothing else about the care provided. External methods work well.

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.

Around six weeks suits most people, and earlier is reasonable where symptoms are already troubling.Caesarean recovery runs slower. To ask what timing would suit you, contact us before booking an appointment. Nothing starts before you are ready. Comfort guides the pace entirely.

Some settle in the early months and others persist for years when nobody assesses them.Waiting indefinitely is the common pattern. Patients from Rouge Woods often arrive several years after a birth. Assessment is worthwhile regardless. Progress remains possible many years later.
