Sports injury physiotherapy for Brampton athletes at Total Wellness Rehab

Whether you play hockey in Brampton, run the Etobicoke Creek trail or compete at a provincial level, sports injuries demand more than generic rehab. Sport-specific physiotherapy gets you back — and keeps you there.

Most Common Sports Injuries We Treat

Our sports injury program covers ACL and MCL tears, rotator cuff injuries, ankle sprains, hamstring strains, shin splints, concussions and overuse tendinopathies.

The 4 Phases of Sports Rehab

  1. Acute management — control pain and swelling
  2. Restore range of motion and basic strength
  3. Sport-specific loading and plyometrics
  4. Return-to-sport testing and clearance

Why Generic Rehab Falls Short

A desk worker's shoulder program won't prepare a pitcher to throw again. We analyze the demands of your sport and build your plan around them — including TECAR and regenerative modalities when needed.

Preventing Re-Injury

We identify movement patterns and weaknesses that caused the injury in the first place, then correct them so it doesn't happen again.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I return to sport after an ACL injury?

Return-to-sport typically takes 9–12 months post-surgery, cleared only after objective strength and hop testing — not just when pain subsides.

Do you treat youth athletes in Brampton?

Yes. We treat athletes of all ages and can coordinate with coaches and trainers with your permission.

What advanced tools do you use for sports rehab?

TECAR, shockwave, laser, SIS and sport-specific strength testing — all available at our Queen Street Brampton clinic.
