Strengthen, Support, and Restore
Comprehensive care to relieve pain, restore function, and keep your body moving.
musculoskeletal
Sprains
Stretching or tearing of ligaments in joints such as the ankle, wrist, or knee, causing pain, swelling, and limited movement.
Strains
Overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons around joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced strength.
Joint Injuries
Damage to joints, including dislocations, cartilage tears, and other structural issues affecting shoulders, knees, hips, or elbows.
Dislocations
A dislocation happens when a joint is pushed out of place, usually from a fall or sudden force. Surrounding tissues can stretch or tear, leaving the area painful or unstable. Guided rehab and strengthening help the joint heal and prevent repeat injuries.
Tendinitis
Irritation of a tendon from overuse or poor movement patterns. It causes soreness, tenderness, and stiffness with activity. Early care, gentle mobility work, soft-tissue therapy, and progressive strengthening, helps calm the tendon and support long-term recovery.
Bursitis
Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion joints, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the joint.

What is considered a musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) in Ontario?
In Ontario, a musculoskeletal injury involves damage to muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, or soft tissue such as sprains, strains, tendonitis or bursitis commonly affecting the back, shoulders, neck, elbows or wrists.
What kind of therapies are included in a rehab program for MSKIs?
Rehab for musculoskeletal injuries typically involves manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, education on movement and posture, pain‑management strategies, and activity modification to restore function and prevent re‑injury.
Will my treatments be covered if my injury is work‑related?
If your injury is work‑related and reported correctly, programs like the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) Musculoskeletal Program of Care apply. This ensures early, evidence‑based rehab under structured care guidelines.
How can I tell if I need professional rehabilitation for my injury?
If you experience persistent pain, reduced range of motion, swelling, weakness or difficulty performing daily tasks (even after a few days of rest), these are signs you could benefit from early assessment and rehab to prevent chronic issues.
How can I prevent long‑term problems or recurrence after an MSKI?
Preventive measures include following your rehab plan, gradually returning to full activity, addressing biomechanical issues (posture, ergonomics, movement patterns), and engaging in maintenance exercises or strategies to reduce stress on the injured structures.
How long will my recovery take, and how many sessions of rehab might I need?
Recovery time varies based on severity, location and personal health. Minor sprains may improve in weeks, while more complex or multi‑zone injuries can require months of structured rehab. Early intervention improves outcomes.
