We use Athletic Therapy techniques to assist in the recovery of your injuries. We differ from traditional therapies in that we will assess not only the injury site, but the entire kinetic chain to determine the cause of the pain or injury. Massage Therapy is used to improve tissue quality, reduce spasm, reduce stress and improve movement quality.

We have what you need to hit your goals! At McIntosh Sports Performance and Rehabilitation (Mspar), we like to be Better and we know that you do too.

Dan is the Owner and Head Athletic Therapist at MSPAR. He concluded a career working in the field with teams such as the Belleville Bulls and the Toronto Blue Jays in 2013. He opened MSPAR that same year with the goal of helping more people Feel Better, Move Better and Play Better. He uses a combination of manual therapy and exercise prescription to help you achieve your goals.
Kristen was amazing to work with! I dislocated my knee cap and once I got the clear from the doctor to walk on it I went right to Kristen. Her knowledge was very impressive, she pushed me just enough out of my comfort zone to give me the confidence in trying exercise again. She was very reassuring and would look up anything she was unsure about.
A baseline test is a snapshot of the systems we see most often affected by concussion taken before an injury occurs. This point of reference is then used to make important medical decisions regarding your treatment plan, return to learning and return to play. Our comprehensive testing for someone who has sustained a blow to the head helps medical professionals make more informed decisions regarding your condition.
Every body is unique in it's injury history, asymmetries, movement deficiencies, strengths and weaknesses. Let alone the different demands on that body depending on the sport or activity that they play. That's why every program at MSPAR begins first with a comprehensive body assessment.
Utilizing a quick orthopedic screening, the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and specific strength exercises, our staff will then develop a program that is individualized to YOU.From there, we have a variety of options ranging from one-on-one training, to small group training, to a home program, all designed to get the most from your body for whatever it is that you want to do.

After suffering from lingering, long term back issues requiring daily pain med's followed by a severe calf injury, I reached out to the team at MSPAR to work on a solution. Both Dan and Kristen provided customized plans for massage and physical therapy to heal my calf. Over the following weeks continued to stretch, release and strengthen my core and hips which has completely resolved my back pain. As an over 40 avid golfer, the worst part of the game is the day after which is usually where the Aleve needed to kick in....a few weeks of steady 1on1 CrossFit style fitness in their modern gym as well

Dan listened carefully to assess my elbow injury and provided care in the office as well as sending me away with exercises to continue to heal at home. I also received YouTube videos of the exercises so I could be sure I was doing them correctly. Super nice, welcoming and accommodating. So glad MSPAR was recommended to me.

Both my boys have had minor arm issues over their minor baseball careers and with Dan's help these have never progressed to more serious issues. Dan has diagnosed them and identified exercises that have got them back to full strength quickly. His movement assessment is a must for any developing athlete, especially pitchers. Can't recommend Dan enough. I wouldn't trust my boys' arms to anyone else.

What a blessing its been to have Dan in our lives. He is phenomenal at what he does!! We have had numerous ailments within our family over the years & Dan has literally been a lifesaver in every case. His professionalism & complete knowledge continues to impress with each & every injury we have had to see him for. The confidence of knowing when you go to see Dan & getting the correct prognosis & rehab along with the personal support is something we cannot say enough about. Thank you Dan for all you do; thank you for your care, compassion & support. You truly are a one of a kind.

Dan's helped me get back to training following a serious back injury. After I was discharged from physiotherapy, I didn't feel ready to get back in the gym. Dan's been designing programs to improve my fitness and capacity, and it's helped me stay pain-free, even as I increase the intensity of my workouts. Definitely a great experience!

Luke Hyde has been seeing Dan for over one year now. He worked with him to improve strength and he also has worked with him on abdominal rehabilitation and now, back rehabilitation. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable about the human body, takes a vested interest in your child, explains programs, injury and treatment plans, then MSPAR is your best choice. Dan's commitment to getting the athlete back at their game is inspiring!
