At C.O.R.E.

we use what is called a neurofunctional model, which takes into account all the systems in the body, our environment, stress, relationships and any other possible contributing factors in a person's life. This is a holistic model, but it is grounded in science, specifically neuroscience and the various branches of neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and interpersonal neurobiology. What You Can Expect

Excellence requires time, understanding and clarity and we don't want you or us to feel rushed, stressed or unheard. We know this is unusual in our world of supposed 'quick fixes', fast-paced lifestyles and abundant conveniences, but we are committed to transforming the health of our community.

- open communication policy
- we trust the wisdom and intuition of your body
- expect to be treated as a whole human being (mind-body-brain-soul) not just a symptom, disease or illness
-You will feel heard and connected to, which creates the fertile ground for healing

History

Established in 2009. CORE performance, therapy, wellness was born out of a need for Connected, Objective, Responsible, Empowering health care. We recognize that most health care facilities strictly focus on symptoms, conditions, disease, and illness, and yet chronic disease, health care spending, mental health issues, pain is all on the rise. With this in mind we established a health care business that focuses instead on what is health, how do we achieve wellness throughout our lives, and how do we reach greater levels of performance in all aspects of our lives. Uniquely, we do this with a deep sense of social responsibility as we strive to create our own community that gives back to the greater community with self awareness. We pride ourselves on the fact that our business is continually evolving as knowledge changes, so we can offer our patients the most up to date perspectives, techniques and approaches to health care.

This is a glimpse into one of our treatment sessions with a Jiu-Jitsu athlete recovering from an LCL sprain.

Our treatment focus for the day was to address the neurological tightness of the gastrocnemius and the medial and lateral hamstring chains. After completing the manual therapy and passive interventions, we transitioned into the gym to integrate active stimuli — teaching the tissues how to tolerate and distribute load.

By emphasizing connective tissue remodeling, load absorption capacity, and mechanoreceptor activation, we aimed to promote structural adaptation through controlled eccentrics and lengthening under tension.

These steps are fundamental in rebuilding a resilient foundation for the joint and its surrounding connective tissues — the essential groundwork before progressing to explosive strength and dynamic loading.

Running Injuries: Common Pitfalls and How to Stay on Track

Running is one of the simplest ways to stay active and build endurance, but it’s not without risks. Knowing what to watch for and how to care for your body can make all the difference.

Some of the most common running injuries include:

● Shin Splints – sharp, aching pain along the inner shin that worsens with activity

● Runner’s Knee – dull ache and pain around or behind the kneecap

● Achilles Tendinitis – stiffness or burning pain in the back of the lower leg to the heel

● Plantar Fasciitis – stabbing pain in the heel or arch

These issues usually aren’t caused by one dramatic moment but rather small, repeated stresses over time. Training too hard, wearing improper shoes, or ignoring early warning signs are some of the usual suspects. Learn more about how to prevent running injuries and how we can help!

Piriformis Syndrome: A Modern Guide to Deep Glute Pain and Lasting Relief

If you’re experiencing deep buttock pain, leg tightness, or sciatica-like symptoms—but imaging shows no spinal issues—you might be dealing with Piriformis Syndrome. This condition affects both athletes and sedentary individuals, and is often misdiagnosed or treated with generic stretching that misses the root cause.

At Core Performance Centre in North York, our approach is grounded in biomechanics, functional joint health, and long-term tissue resilience. Using principles from Functional Range Systems (FRS) and strength & conditioning science, we help clients restore function—not just reduce symptoms.

Piriformis Syndrome is a sign that your body’s movement strategy isn’t working efficiently, leading to pain. The key isn’t more stretching — it’s improving how your body distributes load.
