Why choose MSK Centre
Care built around your recovery, not a waiting list
One multidisciplinary team
Physiotherapists, chiropractors, registered massage therapists, sports medicine physicians and orthopaedic surgeons work under one roof, so care is coordinated instead of scattered across referrals.
Treatment plans built around you
Every plan starts with an assessment, not a template. Manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling and the rest of the toolkit are chosen for your injury, not applied the same way to every patient.
Direct billing is available to private health insurance, WSIB and automobile insurance. MSK Rehab services (physiotherapy, bracing, massage, chiropractic, orthotics) are not covered by OHIP or ODSP.

“I’d like to share my gratitude for Dr. Mike Frey, the chiropractor at this clinic. He is very knowledgeable and always tailors his treatments to each patient’s needs. What makes him stand out even more is his wonderful sense of humor, he has a way of lifting your spirits, even when you’re dealing with chronic pain.”
“Dr. Stevens from MSK Centre performed my left ankle subtalar fusion surgery in November 2022. To say that he is a fantastic surgeon would be an understatement, he truly deserves a 10-star review rather than just five. Dr. Stevens took the time to thoroughly explain all of my options, including the pros and cons of each approach related to my ankle, potential surgery and the recovery process.”
“The doctor had a great bedside manner and everyone was really friendly, it was a quick in and out and he reassured me that I will heal on my own. But he gave me a wrap just in case. It was a great experience, thank you Dr Stevens.”
