When doing a straight-leg hamstring stretch, most people lock the knee and pull harder. ❌
Here’s the trick ✅:
Slightly bend and then gently re-straighten the knee during the stretch.
Why? 🤔
Hamstrings cross both your hip and your knee. Small movements at the knee change the tension through the muscle, helping you:
➡️ Find the tightest spot more precisely
➡️ Reduce that intense pull behind the knee
➡️ Shift the stretch higher into the muscle belly, where it really matters
Give it a try and feel the difference!

A lot of people ask, “Isn’t acupuncture just placebo?”
It’s a fair question. 🤔
Acupuncture isn’t magic, it works by stimulating specific nerves and tissues, sending signals to your brain and spinal cord. This can help:
🩸 Improve blood flow
💆♂️ Reduce muscle tension
⚡ Regulate pain signals
🧘 Calm an overactive nervous system
We often see real, measurable responses like muscle relaxation, local circulation changes, and shifts in sensitivity, things that aren’t just “in your head.”

Vertigo isn’t just a “head problem.”
It affects the system that keeps you upright and steady, your inner ear 👂, eyes 👀, brain 🧠, and muscles all work together to control balance. When vertigo disrupts that system, your body can feel off, wobbly, or unsure even when standing still.
That’s why it’s important to listen when a physio talks about balance training. It’s not random exercises, it’s targeted retraining for your balance system so your brain can recalibrate, reduce dizziness, and help you feel steady again. ✅
Vertigo challenges your balance.
Physiotherapy helps you rebuild it.
📅 Visit us for an assessment and take the first step toward steadiness!

Koonar Physiotherapy opened its doors in February 2008. Michael Koonar, a Master in Physical Therapy graduate of The University of Western Ontario and second generation Physiotherapist, couldn’t wait to provide a unique brand of physiotherapy services to the Windsor-Essex community. What began in 900 sq.ft. as Michael, providing the patient care, and Casey, running the front desk, has grown to a multidisciplinary, multi-centre, rehabilitation brand known for high-quality care in a positive and compassionate environment. Michael and Casey are still working hard daily and are joined by an amazing team of 20 health professionals and support staff. Growth is based simply on hard-work, a dedicated interest in patient success and a solid reputation in the community. A proud member of the local community we have raised trophies with both the Windsor Spitfires and Windsor Express, but it is the success in clinic with our patients that makes us feel like champions every day.
Our Approach:
We developed the philosophy of Start Feeling Better Today! as both a challenge to ourselves and a commitment to you, our patients. We want to let you know we are as interested in your recovery as you are. From before the initial assessment, we provide a helpful voice on the phone and a smile at our front desk. The administrative team will go above and beyond to ensure your questions are answered and you start your experience on the right foot. Your therapist will spend the time to fully understand your condition and you will undergo a comprehensive assessment. During this time you will be provided with education and information about why you are suffering and the plan we have to help achieve your recovery goals. Feeling better today isn’t just about pain relief, it is about knowing you are in a place that cares about you, informs you and has the means to address your concerns. A successful rehabilitation is teamwork between our therapists and you the patient. We are committed to your success and are excited to get started on that road to recovery.
