“I highly recommend SOS Physiotherapy. I went to the Northfield location and I can’t say enough good things about them. Everyone is very friendly and really cares about getting you back up and ‘running’ I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do my 10km walks pain free any longer after an injury.

Without question, the best place to handle your physiotherapy needs! Thanks Ryan and team at SOS Elmira!

A few months worth of neck pain and denial brought me to see Ryan Wark at SOS in Elmira. Not only did he fix the issue I was having, but he did so with great conversation and a smile (I assume it was a smile as we were wearing masks during our sessions). Without question, the best place to handle your physiotherapy needs! Thanks Ryan and team at SOS Elmira!

If you are pregnant and having pain or are searching for pelvic floor physiotherapy, I would highly recommend Christine Ecclestone.~Laura V

I first learned of SOS after attending a free webinar on the role of pelvic floor physiotherapy. The webinar was fantastic so I decided to book an appointment with Christine Ecclestone. She was amazing and helped guide me through my pregnancy. I connected with her following the birth of my child and continued with my pelvic floor physiotherapy. She provided great exercises and hands on treatment to help resolve the pain I was having and prevent long term issues. I now know its not a problem you have to deal with. If you are pregnant and having pain or are searching for pelvic floor physiotherapy, I would highly recommend Christine Ecclestone.

I have loved working with Christine the pelvic floor specialist.

I have loved working with Christine the pelvic floor specialist. I recently got married and things were not “feeling” as they should. She was able to help me sort things out so the feel good. It’s a tough thing but we shouldn’t be in pain. If you’re wondering she has the answer! I was also amazed to learn she helps people with past trauma. I know many people who could use her services. Whatever your dilema is she can help. That I am sure of. Never be embarrassed or afraid!!!!!

 Nimmy's expertise and experience is outstanding, as is her ability to explain how things work and why.

When I came to s.o.s. physiotherapy in Elmira, I was always experiencing lower back pain, hip pain that radiated down my thighs and constant pressure in my pelvis. Nimmy’s expertise and experience is outstanding, as is her ability to explain how things work and why. Even her bedside manner and social communication skills are quite comforting and reassuring. I highly recommend Nimmy and her services to anyone!

Laser Therapy Has Been A Game Changer For Me!

I have been suffering from chronic back pain for several years. It has stopped me from doing the simplest things, like going for a walk and enjoying activities with my family. I was having trouble walking and getting out of bed. I dreaded days when it would rain, as my back would act up. From that very first laser therapy treatment, I had less pain and more mobility. Now, after a few treatments, I’m enjoying brisk walks with my husband, pushing my granddaughter up hills in her stroller and no pain or stiffness when it rains. Laser Therapy has been a game-changer for me!

I started coming to physiotherapy and immediately things got better. We worked to loosen my neck, and retrain my eyes. Since doing physio, I have had no problems playing, and no more headaches.

SOS Physiotherapy is a tremendous blessing in my life.

SOS Physiotherapy has provided significant healing and support for me during 3 episodes of physical challenge. Most recently, I returned to the SOS Clinic in December 2009 following several years of unique and puzzling foot and leg symptoms that had significantly compromised my quality of daily living. SOS Physiotherapy clinic brought me healing and hope! Many days I am symptom-free and once again experiencing a quality and pace of daily living that I had begun to think I would never regain.

Over a year ago, I started having pain in my hip and groin to the point I was having problems walking. Adam has been able to decrease my pain and increase my mobility. He suggested a hip brace to help me through the day as well as stretches and exercises. Before Adam, I was not able to walk distances without having to stop. Sometimes, with such awful pain I was not able to finish what I was doing and often ended up limping. Now I have more good days than bad, not limping as often, increase in range of motion, and I am able to get up on my parents roof to shovel snow!
