Push Pounds Sports Medicine
Push Pounds Sports Medicine offers the best physiotherapy, rehabilitation and strength and conditioning services in Toronto. We cater to individuals of all abilities, including professional athletes, weekend warriors, and individuals who simply want to move and feel better.
We believe listening to patients is, first and foremost, the most important way to start a rehabilitation process. Careful physical assessment follows. This focuses on aspects such as tenderness, swelling in areas of pain, resting posture, how movement is initiated and how your joints move in space, which may lead to obvious deformities, muscular imbalances, and injury prone positions

Custom Knee Brace / ACL Brace
We believe that for the best recovery and performance, musculoskeletal care should be personalized. This is why if you're recovering from a knee injury or surgery, or trying to protect a previously injured knee, we provide you with a custom knee brace. Read our custom knee brace article for more information. If you have been prescribed a brace for arthritic or inflammatory conditions of the knee, hip, elbow, etc, we are able to provide these custom braces as well!
Synvisc
Due to age, demanding performance, injury, disease (osteoarthritis), or other factors, our joints can wear down. This can cause reduced flexibility, disabling pain, and discomfort within the musculoskeletal system. Synvisc is an injection containing hyaluronic acid, a synthetic form of the body’s naturally produced joint lubricating fluid. It's injected into the affected joints to act as the lubricant the body is unable to maintain given the inflammatory state of the joint, and this helps to alleviate pain, and improves flexibility and performance.
Nstride is an injection containing a concentrated solution of cells obtained from your blood referred to as Autologous Protein Solution (APS). It is a refined version of platelet rich plasma, designed specifically for osteoarthritis. It contains high concentrations of white blood cells, platelets, and plasma proteins specifically geared towards attacking and neutralizing the main inflammatory molecules that cause significant pain and dominate arthritic joints. Nstride is injected into the arthritic joints to reduce inflammation and pain, increase the rate of healing, and promote joint flexibility.
PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections contain a high concentration of platelets extracted from your blood through use of a centrifuge and separating blood components based on weight. They're injected at injured parts of the musculoskeletal system to promote faster healing, as platelets contain multiple growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins. Delivering them at much higher concentrations that your natural immune system ever would. At Push Pounds Sports Medicine, we have qualified experts and advanced equipment to extract high-quality concentrated PRP successfully and inject it as required.
Compression Socks
Some jobs require you to remain standing for long hours as you offer your professional services. Standing for long hours can cause multiple ailments including varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, spider veins, generalized leg swelling and pooling of water in the lower extremities. To prevent such conditions, treat them, we custom measure your leg and provide compression socks with a minimum pressure of 20-30 mm Hg.
