“Running ruins your knees” is one of the most commonly accepted myths in healthcare, but current evidence doesn’t support it. Multiple large, peer-reviewed studies have shown that recreational runners do not experience worse knee outcomes than non-runners, and some research even suggests runners may have a lower risk of developing knee osteoarthritis over time.

The key is how you train:
• Gradual increases in mileage
• Strong hip and quad muscles for support
• Good running mechanics
• Proper recovery and load management

Running can be part of a healthy, joint-friendly lifestyle. If you’ve been avoiding running because of knee pain or uncertainty, our physiotherapists can assess your form, guide your training progression, and help you stay active safely.

Ultrasound therapy is a safe and effective treatment that uses gentle sound waves to promote deep tissue healing. It’s often used by physiotherapists and chiropractors to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and speed up recovery from both new and long-standing injuries.

At First Line Physiotherapy, we use ultrasound therapy to help patients recover from:

- Muscle strains and sprains
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Joint inflammation
- Soft tissue pain and stiffness

By stimulating the body’s natural healing response, ultrasound therapy can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support a faster return to daily activities.

If you’re dealing with persistent pain or a soft tissue injury, our physiotherapy team can determine whether ultrasound therapy is right for you.

Our bodies LOVE movement. Physiotherapy and chiropractic care can really help with injury rehab and overcoming pain, but they are nothing without therapeutic exercise.

Many of us have sedentary jobs, seated commutes, and spend too much time on activities that are largely inactive. If we can find some time through our day to prioritize movement, our bodies will thank us in the short and long term.

The stronger and more mobile we keep our bodies, the better they feel!

If pain or an injury have been keeping you from getting active, our physio and chiro team are excited to help you get back to the things you love.

How are you getting active this weekend?

Head to our website to check out our latest blog post about Shockwave therapy.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. These waves help increase blood flow, break down scar tissue, and reduce inflammation — all key steps in repairing stubborn or chronic injuries.

It’s especially effective for:
✅ Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
✅ Tennis or golfer’s elbow
✅ Shoulder tendonitis
✅ Hip and knee pain
✅ Chronic muscle tightness or scar tissue buildup

At First Line Physiotherapy in North York, our physios and chiro both use shockwave therapy for various issues on a regular basis. Many patients start noticing improvement in just a few sessions!

💪 Heal smarter, not harder — and get back to doing what you love.
