Our Team

Coulton Roe, MPT, is a physiotherapist in Guelph, ON at our SOS Physiotherapy Guelph clinic with six years of clinical experience. He helps people manage pain, recover from injuries, and return to the activities they enjoy. He treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, with particular interests in neck pain, back pain, elbow pain, knee injuries, and hip pain.

How I Treat

As a physiotherapist in Guelph, my goal is to understand why you’re experiencing pain, not just treat the area that hurts. For example, wrist, elbow, or shoulder pain can sometimes be related to the neck. I take the time to look at the bigger picture, understand how everything fits together, and develop a treatment plan that addresses the factors contributing to your symptoms.

I combine hands-on treatment, exercise, and practical education to build a treatment plan around your goals. Whether you want to get through the workday more comfortably, return to sport, or stay active as you get older, I want to help you move with confidence.

Types of Treatment I Offer

I treat musculoskeletal conditions from head to toe, including neck and back pain, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand problems, hip and knee injuries, and ankle pain. I also work with TMJ (jaw) disorders, vertigo, dizziness, and balance concerns.

Depending on your assessment and goals, treatment may include manual therapy, exercise prescription, acupuncture, dry needling, and vestibular rehabilitation. I particularly enjoy working with desk workers managing neck and shoulder pain, retirees who want to stay active, and athletes and weekend warriors looking to return to the activities they love.

My Philosophy

Patient education is one of my favourite parts of physiotherapy. I believe you should understand what’s contributing to your symptoms, why they may have developed, and what you can do to improve them. I see rehabilitation as a partnership, working together to develop practical strategies you can use at home to keep making progress between visits.

What Patients Can Expect From Me

Your first appointment starts with a conversation about your symptoms, your history, and what you want to get back to doing. We’ll work through an assessment, discuss your diagnosis and what’s driving it, and build a treatment plan together. My goal is for you to leave with a better understanding of your problem, a clear direction, and confidence in the next steps.

Education and Professional Development

I earned my Master of Physical Therapy degree at Western University and am registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. My additional training includes acupuncture and dry needling through APTEI, as well as Level 2 manual therapy training through the Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal (AIM) program with the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. I continue to build my clinical skills through ongoing manual therapy training and plan to pursue
further advanced acupuncture courses.

Life at SOS Physiotherapy

My journey with SOS began with my final clinical placement during physiotherapy school. I started my career at SOS Belmont in Kitchener before moving closer to home. Now I’m a physiotherapist in Guelph at our SOS Guelph clinic. One of my favourite things about SOS is our collaborative environment and the way our team supports one another to provide the best possible patient care.

Personal Life

I grew up in Wellesley, Ontario, and moved to Waterloo for school. Having experienced recurring low back pain through previous jobs and knee injuries through sport, I understand how frustrating pain can be when it interferes with everyday life and the activities you love. Those experiences helped shape my desire to pursue a career where I could help people in my community get back to doing what matters to them.

I love living in Guelph and being part of its active, community-minded culture. Outside the clinic, my young daughter keeps me on my toes, so I know a thing or two about staying active on a busy schedule!

Hobbies and Activities

I’m a huge Raptors fan and enjoy playing basketball, ultimate frisbee, golf, and pickleball. When I’m not playing sports, I’m just as happy settling in for a good yard game, board game or video game.
