Who We Are
Colonel Danforth Park, Kingston Road at Lawrence and the Route North
West Hill patients travel north on Markham Road from the Kingston Road and Colonel Danforth Park area, then east on Highway 7 to the clinic.
A caesarean is often assumed to leave the pelvic floor untouched, and that assumption is wrong. Nine months of pregnancy loads it regardless of how the birth happened, and scar tissue at the abdominal wall affects how pressure is managed afterwards. Both deserve assessment rather than being written off because delivery was surgical. Pregnancy loads the pelvic floor regardless. Scar tissue affects pressure management. Assessment happens either way. Your physician guidance leads.
- 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.
“A caesarean does not leave the pelvic floor untouched.”
Nine months of pregnancy loads it whatever route the birth took, and the assumption otherwise is why so many people never get assessed. Scar tissue adds a second consideration that vaginal births simply do not involve. Both are assessed here. Timelines run slower. Nothing is written off.

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 West Hill Patients Get Assessed After a Caesarean
A surgical birth is treated as a reason to assess rather than to skip it, since nine months of pregnancy loads the pelvic floor either way. Scar healing is respected. Timelines run slower deliberately. Babies are welcome in the room. Parking is free.
Assessment happens either way
Pelvic function is examined regardless of how the birth happened, because pregnancy itself is what loads the system. Symptoms are asked about.
Scar healing respected
Scar work waits until healing has progressed and begins gently, with your physician’s timeline setting the pace throughout. Techniques begin gently.
Babies welcome in the room
Prams fit in the treatment rooms and sessions 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.
