Why "Rest & Ice" Is an Outdated Plan
You've pulled a muscle, and the first advice is "RICE" (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). This is an outdated model that only manages the initial symptom (swelling).
Resting a muscle strain for too long actually makes you weaker and more prone to re-injury. The muscle heals with stiff, disorganized scar tissue.
To heal a pulled muscle fast and properly, you need Optimal Loading. This means introducing the right amount of load and movement at the right time. Our Rehabilitation center specializes in this modern approach to muscle strain recovery.

We Treat All Types of Muscle Strains
As a specialized Rehab clinic in Mississauga, our first step is a 60-minute Initial Rehab Assessment. We'll diagnose the grade of your muscle tear (Grade 1, 2, or 3) and find the mechanical cause (e.g., weak glutes causing a pulled hamstring).

Our 4-Step Rehab Plan for Muscle Strains
Our rehab for pulled muscle is a 4-step process designed to accelerate healing and prevent re-injury.

Accelerate Healing & Manage Scar Tissue
This is where we speed up recovery. Your Rehab Therapist will use:
Advanced Manual Therapy to gently mobilize the tissue.
Graston Technique or Modern Cupping to break down scar tissue build-up and increase blood flow to the healing muscle.
RAPID Neurofascial Reset to "reset" the protective muscle guarding.

Progressive Loading (The "Fix")
This is the most important step. We will design a specific, progressive exercise plan (starting with gentle activation and moving to eccentric loading) to ensure your muscle heals with strong, organized fibers.

Prevention & Return-to-Sport
We don't just discharge you when the pain is gone. We find why you pulled the muscle in the first place (e.g., weak glutes) and fix it. We then put you through sport-specific drills to ensure you are 100% ready to return.
