High Performance Sports medicine

What High Performance Sports medicine does

High Performance Sports Medicine (HPSM) is a privately held, multidisciplinary sports and exercise medicine clinic operating from a single location at Yonge Eglinton Centre, 2300 Yonge Street Suite 1604, Toronto. Founded by Dr. Darren Edelist (MD, CCFP, Dip Sport Med) and Melanie MacKinnon (HBScKIN, MScPT, MClSc, FCAMPT), the clinic employs a team of five practitioners — one sports medicine physician, two physiotherapists, one chiropractor, and one registered massage therapist — supported by two medical receptionists. HPSM serves athletes, active individuals, and the general public in the Greater Toronto Area, treating musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation needs.

The clinic offers an integrated suite of services under one roof: physician-led sports medicine (diagnosis, injection, bracing/orthotic prescription, referrals), physiotherapy, chiropractic care, Active Release Technique (ART™), medical acupuncture, custom orthotics with gait analysis, custom knee bracing, and registered massage therapy. Its technology stack is limited to a third-party electronic health records platform (Health Screen Solutions Inc.) compliant with Canadian privacy law and reviewed by Ontario's Information and Privacy Commission. There is no proprietary software, mobile application, public API, or AI/ML capability disclosed.

HPSM operates a hybrid revenue model: Sports Medicine Physician consultations are billed to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) for Ontario residents, while physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, custom orthotics, and bracing are paid out-of-pocket at the time of service, with patients seeking reimbursement through extended health insurance. Acquisition is primarily direct-to-consumer via the clinic website, organic social media, professional referrals from family doctors and surgeons, and institutional relationships with sports teams and athletic organizations. The publicly posted fee schedule is transparent, and the clinic operates extended hours (Mon-Thu 7am-8pm, Fri 7am-5pm) with same-day acute-injury physician appointments. HPSM is founder/operator-controlled, with no evidence of external investment, and serves a single domestic market (Ontario).

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Myodetox: Toronto-based manual therapy and sports rehabilitation clinic chain with multiple locations across Canada and the US. Offers physiotherapy, massage, and movement-based treatment with strong brand positioning — comparable to HPSM's target segment but with broader geographic reach and consumer-brand focus.
• Integra Health Centre: Toronto multidisciplinary health clinic offering physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, and sports medicine services. Comparable integrated care model and Toronto location, targeting similar high-end clientele.
• Athlete's Care Sports Medicine Centres: Toronto-headquartered multidisciplinary sports medicine chain offering physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, sports medicine physicians, and bracing across multiple GTA locations. Directly comparable to HPSM in service mix and target patient (athletes and active individuals), but with significantly greater scale and multi-site footprint.
• Propel Physiotherapy: Toronto-area sports and orthopedic physiotherapy clinic offering manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and sports injury treatment. Comparable to HPSM's physiotherapy core but narrower service mix (no physician, no orthotics).
• Foundation Health: Toronto multidisciplinary health clinic combining physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, and sports medicine under one roof. Closely mirrors HPSM's 'one-stop shop' model with similar service stack and Toronto-based athlete/active-individual target market.

Broad incumbents

• LifeMark Health: One of Canada's largest physiotherapy and rehabilitation networks with broad service offerings across multiple provinces. Comparable service categories to HPSM (physiotherapy, sports injury rehab) but operates at national scale with broader payer relationships.
• Cleveland Clinic Canada (now closed): Former Toronto location of the US-based Cleveland Clinic offering sports medicine and executive health services. Comparable premium multidisciplinary sports medicine positioning in Toronto before its closure, illustrating the challenges of operating a high-end specialty clinic in the market.

Regional players

• Banff Sport Medicine: Multidisciplinary sports medicine clinic in Banff, Alberta offering physician, physiotherapy, and surgical services focused on active individuals and athletes. Comparable service mix to HPSM but operates in a different geographic market serving a similar sports-medicine patient profile.
• Sports Medicine Clinic at UBC: University of British Columbia-affiliated multidisciplinary sports medicine clinic offering physician consultations, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation services for athletes. Comparable service stack and academic affiliation model to HPSM but Vancouver-based rather than Toronto.

Others

• The Orthotic Group: Canadian custom orthotics manufacturer and provider that is an active partner of HPSM for orthotic fabrication. While not a direct competitor, they represent the supplier ecosystem for HPSM's highest-margin product line and could be considered a vertical adjacent player.
