Knee Rehabilitaiton Programs

PhysioActive Knee Rehabilitation Programs:

Physioactive has a knee rehabilitation program for you. From our high-performance program for aspiring young athletes and our professional athletes to our return to sport and daily life for our active adults to our post-operative program be it post ACL repair or meniscectomy, or our total joint replacement program we have the perfect knee program for you. Many of our semi-pro and professional athletes move from our post-op program into our high-performance program here at Physioactive. Led by our knee program director, we will accurately assess your needs and tailor your knee rehab to your age, stage, and goals.

High-Performance Program

Our high-performance program is for new and old knee injuries. This program focuses on higher-level rehabilitation, using the latest science, exercises, manual therapy and technology to optimize movement and performance. In this program, general movement patterns and sport-specific movement patterns will be evaluated and specific exercises and therapy are designed to increase performance and prevent injury. At Physioactive, your therapist will look at the whole body, especially the foot, leg, pelvis and low back and integrating the full-body movement. Speed, hand-eye, and brain (nervous system) functions are integrated into your individualized program. Our therapists have backgrounds and experience in a variety of sports including hockey, soccer, baseball, tennis, runners/triathletes and more.

Return to Sport and Daily Life

Our return to sport and daily life program is similar to our high-performance program, with more focus on injury prevention. Many of our clients are trying to compete and are getting injured while training or performing beer league athletics. Our experience is that these athletes are doing their best to stay in shape by going to the gym and competing in athletics, but are suffering from aches and pains and are moving sub-optimally that is leading to their knee pain and injuries. This program will rehabilitate your knee, but also focus on core, flexibility and movement skills to keep your knees young and prevent injury while also increasing performance as a by-product.

Total Joint Replacement Rehabilitation Program

This total joint replacement rehabilitation program is a natural continuation of the hospital programs for your new knee (or hip). We also strongly encourage our clients to attend a few Pre-habilitation sessions. Our therapists use the latest technology to get your swelling down. We also only see 2 patients per hour so there will plenty of time for your therapist to use hands-on manual therapy to stretch and mobilize your muscles, fascial and joint capsule to assist in a range of motion, reduce pain and swelling. Your therapist will accurately progress your exercises so you will improve as quickly as possible. Our therapists will get you back to your life from 10 years ago, long before the knee pain began. Many of our clients postpone delay, or permanently cancel their surgeries when they attend our prehabilitation program because of full pain reduction and return to pain-free activities of daily living.

Post-Operative Program:

Our post-operative program is for all knee surgeries. Most commonly we see post ACL repairs and meniscectomies. All our post-operative clients start in this program during which we reduce pain and swelling, using our game ready compression and ice machine, modalities to speed healing at tissue repair and appropriate exercises that are accurately progressed based on your progress. Our semi-pro and younger aspiring athletes quickly move from this program to our high-performance program when they are ready.

I highly recommend Chiropractor Zachary Starr. Highly professional and his treatment resolved my TMJ for the long-term. He also supported with supplying exercises to carry on the treatment at home in relation to treatment of TMJ and improvement of posture.

After many months of being in pain and countless of doctor’s appointments and tests, no one was able to understand my pain or help me. However, during my first appointment with Thomas he was able to locate and finally ease my pain! Thank you!

After finishing treatment from Monica. I have felt that any symptoms of sourness and stiffness in me just disappeared by themselves. During the miracle treatment, I feel her kindness and passion for medical treatment methods. Beyond, those, her combined knowledge of acupuncture and massage is the fact that she is so focused on the results of the treatment that after one or two sessions, I have already gotten the best outcome that I have ever experienced. I would say that she has an angel's fingers. It is an incredible wonder. It is an ancient way that she understands and practices so well to heal your health from the physical body to the eternal soul. I highly recommend this rehabilitation center and Monica to someone who is looking for the best medical treatment from the most caring practitioner.

Highly recommend PhysioActive. Winnie (physiotherapist) helped me a lot following my knee injury (injured ACL & MCL). She is very knowledgeable and one of the areas she specializes in is nerve work all over the body. Words can’t describe how amazing Winnie is at what she does. Originally she did ultrasound massage to reduce inflamation and swelling in my knee. Then she started doing some work with her hands. At the end of each appointment she would put my legs into a magnetic wheel that works at a cellular level and actually helped reduce pain. She also assigned exercises to do at home which helped too. Later I also started seeing Mina (osteopath), and he’s also very talented, knowledgeable and gentle. My foot, even though it wasn’t injured, was having trouble adjusting after many months of inactivity and was achy, so I ordered orthotics to put inside my shoes, which made a huge difference, and this was done through their chiropodist Vincent (the pair of orthotics he ordered for me is perfect). The front desk staff is great too, especially Negin and Armine. If you’re newly injured and lost, please hang in there as it will get better, and this is one great clinic that can help.

I have been a client at Physioactive since 2010 and continue to have a wonderful experience. My bookings are always easy and efficient via telephone and in person, through Physioactive’s organized, knowledgeable and friendly staff members. Appointment booking emails and reminders are always provided, as well as follow-up check ins between longer visits. The clinic is clean and organized. Physiotherapists, Nick and Aparna, and Massage Therapist, Shirley, have been critical in my physical healing from injuries and and preparation and recovery postpartum. I constantly leave the clinic AMAZED by their knowledge, ultimate care, and physical relief. I would HIGHLY recommend Physioactive to all!

Amazing clinic, would highly recommend! After a very sudden onset of severe sciatica, Thomas and the physioactive team were increadible. No appointments were available for 5 days, but once Thomas realized the degree of discomfort I was in he made extra appointment time to see me that same day and the next few days. His assessment was thorough and treatment very quickly reduced my nerve pain. He explained in detail the physiology likely causing the problem, and his plan to tackle not only the acute pain but over time to eventually resolve the underlying musculoskeletal problems that were likely causing it. I am increadibly grateful to him and his team and would definitely recommend Physioactive.

Since my left fibula fracture was cleared for physio, while I was in crutches I have been going to Physioactive since last November. I cannot say anymore good things about this place, each physiotherapist I had seen in the beginning were good at working together to ensure my file was consistently up to date. Fast forward March, I walk now as if I have never sustained a fracture. Highly recommend and lots of exercises that cater to each phase of healing!!
