Recovery after joint replacement touches the whole leg and often the back, so having several professions in one building helps. Aurora patients can combine physiotherapy with massage therapy, laser or kinesiology in a single visit.

Who We Are
Working Within Your Surgeon’s Protocol, Not Around It
Every surgical team sets its own timeline for weight bearing and range, and rehabilitation works properly only when it follows those instructions.
Patients travel south via Highway 404 from Yonge Street and Wellington because a replaced knee rewards precise, well-timed work. Early sessions focus on straightening the knee fully, regaining bend, settling swelling and restoring a normal walking pattern without a limp. Strength work follows once the joint tolerates it, moving from assisted movement to loaded exercise, stairs and step downs. Range and strength are measured each visit and compared against the protocol, so a lag is caught early.
- 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.
“Range of motion won in the first six weeks is hard to win later”
A replaced knee forms scar tissue as it heals, and that tissue takes the shape of the range you use. Patients who work steadily through the early weeks usually keep the bend and extension they need for stairs and driving. Recovering lost range later is possible but slower, which is why early attendance matters.
What We Offer
Post-Surgical Support Across Several Regulated Professions
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care addresses the low back and hip discomfort that follows months of limping before surgery, using gentle spinal adjustment and mobilization once the surgical knee is settled.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy runs the post-surgical programme, measuring knee range at every visit and progressing strength, walking pattern and stair work carefully in line with your surgeon’s own timeline.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy from an RMT eases quadriceps and calf tightness around a healing knee, which can make range of motion work noticeably more comfortable through the first weeks of recovery.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture gives a drug-free option for post-surgical knee pain and sleep disruption, using fine sterile single-use needles placed well away from the incision by a registered acupuncturist.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy applies therapeutic light around a healing joint, which can help ease pain and swelling so that exercise sessions become easier to complete during the early phase.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics correct foot mechanics that shifted during years of knee pain, reducing uneven loading through the new joint, with assessment and casting both completed on site in one appointment.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist carries the programme past discharge, rebuilding leg strength, walking distance and stair confidence over the months that follow.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy supports patients whose bladder control changed during reduced mobility, assessed privately by a physiotherapist with pelvic floor training in a private treatment room.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic provides gentle, low-force care for musculoskeletal comfort in pregnancy and for children, so family appointments can be arranged on the same visit.
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.

Frequent Asked Questions
When should physiotherapy start after a knee replacement?
Most surgical teams want physiotherapy underway within the first week after discharge, and often while you are still in hospital. Early work protects range of motion and controls swelling before scar tissue matures. Waiting several weeks usually means spending later sessions recovering ground already lost.
How much knee bend is expected at six weeks?
Many protocols aim for around 90 to 110 degrees of knee bend by six weeks, along with full straightening. Targets differ between surgeons and starting points. Full extension is treated as the priority, because a knee that will not straighten changes walking pattern more than a limited bend does.
Is swelling months after surgery something to worry about?
Mild swelling that rises with activity and settles overnight is common for several months after knee replacement. Swelling that increases sharply, feels hot or comes with fever needs medical review the same day. Patients from Oak Ridges are given clear guidance on what to watch for.
Will you communicate with my orthopaedic surgeon?
Yes, assessment findings and progress reports are sent to your surgeon or their team on request. That keeps rehabilitation aligned with the surgical plan and gives the surgeon objective numbers before follow-up appointments. You can contact us to arrange it before your first visit.
What is the drive from Aurora to the Markham clinic like?
The drive runs south on Highway 404 from Yonge Street and Wellington, then east along Highway 7 to McCowan Road. Allow around thirty minutes outside rush hour, with free parking directly at the entrance. Patients often coordinate the visit with family living near Jefferson on the same trip.
Can I book physiotherapy and massage therapy on the same trip?
Does chiropractic care have a role after joint replacement?
Chiropractic care can help the low back and opposite hip once the surgical knee has settled and your surgeon is content with progress. chiropractic care focuses on the joints that compensated during the painful years before surgery. Techniques are chosen with the replacement in mind.
How long does full recovery from knee replacement take?
Most people function well by three months and continue improving in strength and endurance for a full year after surgery. Swelling, stiffness on waking and fatigue all fade gradually across that period. Patients from Gormley usually attend less often as the year progresses and the home programme takes over.
