I was fortunate to have Rachel Goldsworthy who was able to pinpoint my difficulty quickly and deal with it effectively. From the outset, I felt comfortable with her, appreciated her personable nature and was thankful for her professionalism. While I still have occasional discomfort, Dr. Rachel has given me a set of exercises and shown me how to use them effectively.
I had a great experience at SOS Northfield. Adam took the time to figure out the root cause of my issues, not just treating my symptoms, and then helped me overcome them as quick as possible. Would always recommend.
I had an incredible experience working with Jess for pelvic floor physiotherapy pre-birth! I was really nervous for the labour and delivery process of my first baby and working with Jess calmed my nerves and gave me so much more confidence going into the process. I will definitely be working with her and SOS for my post-birth physiotherapy as well!
Growing up I was taught to tough it out and let injuries to heal on its own. With recurring hamstring injuries, I sought out therapy treatment at SOS to help diagnose my hamstring and expedite recovery. …
I came here for pelvic physiotherapy and am I ever glad I did, what a difference it has made. Jess was such a good therapist, very kind and upbeat and provided excellent instructions to me to help get my pelvic muscles back in shape again. I was always greeted at the door with such friendly and helpful service. I'm going to miss going there but I'm on track to continue my exercises on my own now. Thanks again to the whole team! I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!
My hip had become so sore that I couldn’t sleep well and I was in pain almost constantly. With a combination of special exercises prescribed for home and treatment on site, Ryan Marrin has got me back “up and running” - my bursitis is almost completely gone! Ryan and the whole staff at SOS always made me feel comfortable, safe, and respected as we worked through the process. I’m not a “gym person” but I never felt like I had to apologize for my body - Ryan meets you where you are with care. If you have a persistent problem, don’t hesitate to get help! You’ll be so glad you did.
Working with Rachel at SOS was such an awesome experience! We did virtual visits for a few months and it was just as helpful as in person. Rachel was welcoming, knowledgeable, respectful and so encouraging! Can’t recommend this spot enough :)
Following shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff tendon in January of 2021, I was somewhat surprised to realize how little I could do with my right arm and how much pain I would be experiencing. That first few weeks were especially brutal! I began working with Jessica Clancy at SOS two days after surgery, and with her help we began my long road to recovery. I liked how confident and upbeat Jessica was from day one. She always encouraged me to push forward with my exercises, but also let me know when I needed to pull back. She was very knowledgeable in terms of how she manupulated my arm/shoulder to best advantage. Throughout our time together, she kept reassuring me that the day would come when I would be pain free. I was skeptical, but must admit that she was absolutely right. These days, my shoulder feels like it is brand new, and I am happy to say that I am able to paddle my kayak again!
I had a burning sensation in my back that wasn’t going away. I was treated by SOS Chiropractor Rachel Goldsworthy, who quickly figured out what the issue was, and prescribed a plan that has me feeling good as new. Rachel is very competent, personable, and is a wonderful person to interact with. Highly recommend!
A great big thank you to Arthur and the Team at SOS Physiotherapy! I was in bad shape. The simplest tasks were becoming extremely painful due to my inability to move my arms. I thought it’s far too soon in my life to lose so much mobility. I put things off for too long; I had to do something fast. I contacted SOS Physiotherapy after reading their reviews. Within no time they started me on treatment and set me up with a very doable home program. In no time the pain was lessening, my flexibility and strength improving at each visit. I didn’t think it was possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SOS Physiotherapy to family and friends.
Jessica Clancy is the most dedicated and caring professional. It was wonderful to work with her and experience such progress. She developed a plan for my hip and knee injuries and some creative innovative adaptations when I had additional injuries. She connected with my personal trainer at my gym to ensure we were all on the same page with exercises. The homework physio exercises have been excellent and I will continue them indefinitely in order to maintain. In addition, I enjoyed the team spirit and atmosphere at SOS Northfield as well as the virtual workshops online for a whole variety of conditions plus getting in shape for golf. I love the graduation experience too--what a fun tradition you have created. Thanks to Jessica and the SOS team.
Great location and amazing staff! Highly recommend Rachel (Chiro) & Shawna (Massage) for treatment. Went in for an upper back; neck issue and we worked together to get things better. Great exercises and advices; thorough explanation and good follow-ups! Highly recommend!!
I have nothing but great things to say about the staff at SOS physio. Making the appointment was quick and easy, as I was able to see a therapist within a couple days for an assessment. Jess, my therapist is excellent in diagnosing and …
tl;dr: Dr. Rachel Goldsworthy is a wonderful chiropractor. She LISTENED to me, worked within my comfort zone, and reduced my pain and discomfort while providing me with a feeling of security w.r.t. to what to expect going forward. I would recommend anyone in need to treatment to seek her out (and probably this facility). It was a very positive experience. --- Long Form Answer: I came in with a lot of pain and frustration... both physical and mental. This was following many hospital visits, different differential diagnoses, and a lot of waiting and sleepless nights. I had torn muscles in my back and done something to my upper back/neck resulting in nerve pain down my right side. After the initial pain had been reduced (swelling/etc.), the nerve pain continued (or even became worse). I wasn't able to work effectively and was barely able to sleep. I was hesitant to come to a chiropractor as I had heard both very positive and negative reviews of the field in general. I have a connective tissue disorder (EDS) that exacerbates certain conditions that could be indirectly impacted by treatment. That being said, I was willing to give it a try. I was treated by Dr. Rachel Goldsworthy. I was very cautious/reticent about treatment, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and heard. She talked to me, asked me questions, never rushed me, and really seemed to understand where I was coming from. She was knowledgeable about my previous conditions (surgeries, connective tissue disorder, strains/tears/sprains/ruptures/etc). She then walked me through what I should expect and how things would work and made sure she understood exactly what I was comfortable with and how to communicate if I wasn't. The treatment wasn't a magic spell, and there were times when I was frustrated with my body... but Rachel was always willing to listen to me and help align my expectations appropriately. Almost immediately, others in my life, and myself, noticed positive differences in my level of discomfort, quality of sleep and general pain levels. After a couple of weeks I was mostly pain free (still some nerve numbness sometimes), but I was still struggling getting full motor neuron activation during workouts. I communicated my frustration to Rachel and she encouraged me to focus on the positives while reminding me that it could take longer for my body to heal. This really helped, as we often expect unrealistic things from our own bodies and it can help to have someone tell us -- "it will be ok!" As of a week or two ago, I am still pain free, and I have been able to workout without any noticeable impact from my original injury. We had our final appointment and it was bittersweet, as I have come to enjoy our conversations and time together (also, I usually feel great afterwards!). I will absolutely recommend her to anyone that wants an exceptional level of knowledge, communication, and ability in their chiropractor. --- About the Location Itself: - The other staff at SOS were always friendly and helpful. - They worked with me to have my appointments billed directly to my insurance company (even when I was switching jobs and it wasn't simple). - The COVID screening was easy to use and clear - Everyone always wore masks, disinfected properly, had lots of signage about proper procedures, and maintained a high level of general cleanliness within the establishment. --- Honestly this was a great experience and I once again recommend that anyone considering treatment (for any of the services they offer) consider SOS (and specifically Dr. Rachel Goldsworthy).
I have been treated by Jessica Clancy for several treatments for shoulder pain. I attended an SOS rotator cuff webinar and booked with Jessica after being a part of that webinar. So very grateful I did. Jessica is so professional, …
If you need to get Physiotherapy, you should definitely go to SOS Physio! I had the pleasure to have Jessica as my pelvic physiotherapist, she made me feel very comfortable and prepared for giving birth! She's super knowledgeable, always pays attention to what you're saying and following her recommendations helped me a lot with relieving my back pain during pregnancy. The location is very convenient, with lots of parking, the environment is great, the place is very clean, and making my appointments or rescheduling them was always quick and easy!
I found SOS on Google when my husband was injured. He had a serous back pain so he couldn’t even sit nor walk without screaming. I emailed Holly (She is so cheerful and well-organized, you feel instantly better after talking to her to make a first appointment) and got a call within an hour or so. Fortunately we were introduced to Dr. Rachel Goldsworthy and it turned out amazing. Normally my (stubborn)husband is not a physiotherapy believer, but she changed his perspective 180 degrees. Thanks to his recommendation, I also signed up for my elbow pain treatment with Rachel! After a few sessions of treatment combined with self-exercise sessions, I’m pain-free now. Thank you SOS!
The Northfield location is such a fun enviornment and everyone is so welcoming. Arthur was really great at not only correcting my posture and neck-pain, but was very educational and provided me with home exercises that I could actually maintain!
If you're looking for clinicians who make a difference, this is the place to go. I'm an aging Strength and Conditioning Specialist who sometimes (often times) pushes his body a little too far. Adam is always ready to put me back together. He's super friendly, professional, and most importantly, knows his craft. He gives you the tools to get yourself back on track and uses clinical methods that help speed up the recovery process. I love having a practitioner who I can go that helps keep me able to do the things I love doing. Holly is awesome too...always welcoming and super accomodating. Thanks SOS!
I had been suffering with debilitating knee pain that was keeping me from the outdoor activities that I love. I decided it was time for physio, and boy am I glad I did. Jessica at Northfield SOS was awesome. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and approachable. She diagnosed my problem as meniscus-related, and after a series of hands on physio with Jessica, home exercise, and and the most awesome offloader brace, I was back on the road, walking my dog and going for long hikes. Thank you to Jessica and the great team at SOS!
I cannot emphasize enough how thankful I am that I found SOS. The staff at this clinic (especially Holly, the receptionist/organizer-of-all-things/warm-greeting-giver-right-when-you-walk-in and my physiotherapist Arthur SorryIdontrememberhowtospellyourlastname) are wonderful. The expertise, professionalism and genuine care I was met with at every visit is why they've got 5 stars. After having some not-so-great experiences elsewhere, I'm posting publicly to say that if you're looking for a place you can get strong again, heal, learn and meet at least one friendly person - the search ends here.
One morning I woke up and started my walk to the bedroom door and found that my left ankle felt strange. Over the days it became increasingly worse and I even started to feel pain in my ankle. It got to the point that I had to use a cane to …
Arthur and the entire staff are great and very friendly! He helped me get rid of arm pain that made me withdraw from school. His treatment has let me continue my studies with minimal time off. The graduation process is also fun and you get a nice shirt.
When I was referred for physio, I sought out a locale close to my work - thankfully that was SOS Physiotherapy - Northfield! Jessica Clancy is/was my therapist, and glad she was. Not only did she listen to and work with all my ailments (lateral knee ligament tear, torn anterior deltoid), her friendly & personable attitude made it all the better getting stretched, needled, torqued & all other things to bring my body back to 'normal'. All the staff is great! HIGHLY recommend!
Went in due to a back injury and worked with Ryan. I was hoping that physio would be helpful for dealing with my injury and it was everything I expected and more, I can say enough about how good of an experience it was. The staff is all friendly and professional. Ryan did an amazing job of figuring out what issues I had and building a treatment plan to deal with it. I had immediate relief after my first session, and now I have lasting progress and am back to 100%
Jessica Clancy Jess was very thorough and professional from our first meeting. She quickly …
Friendly staff as soon as I walked in, made me feel at ease with my mission to get into better shape! My Physio~ Adam, throughly went through our GP for a safe return to work as a Personal Trainer! I couldn’t be more grateful for a team of committed, passionate and inspiring leaders!
Lingering Shoulder injury that was aggravated by my work. Met with Adam D...and his student assistants.. Diagnosis was very thorough and the treatment was amazing.. Exercises helped to strengthen the shoulder and the mobility returned ...now work is easier and pain free and the golf game is improving. A big Thank You to all the Staff at S O S Northfield
The ladies at the front desk were really polite and friendly. Been experiencing pain that ran down the posterior part of neck to my knees and Rachel’s therapy and exercises were really helpful and she is friendly and professional. Pain is relieved now. Thank you Rachel, would definitely recommend SOS physiotherapy ????????
I went to visit Adam at SOS physio when I was experiencing deep pains when doing some of the most basic movements such as sitting or squatting. During our first visit he was able to diagnose what the issue was stemming from and gave me a …
After struggling for years with hip pain, I finally paid a visit to see physiotherapist Adam Dafoe on the recommendation of my family. Over the years despite trying many different therapies, I had yet to find anything that offered meaningful improvement. However after a few visits with Adam I was pleasantly surprised to find that this time was going to be different! I've been amazed with my significant improvement, and been able to resume activities I thought were previously history. Adam is a knowledgeable and gifted physiotherapist, and the entire staff at SOS is a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend them for your physiotherapy needs.
5/5 highly recommend for their service. My mom has been suffering from sciatica and she got the one of the best therapist Rachael , she was so kind and took very good care of my mom in every session. I highly recommend in getting her service. All of the staff at this location are very professional and supportive. Thank you Rachael, my mom is much much better after getting your services.
I switched to SOS after 10 months of treatment at another clinic where I experienced minimal improvement for sciatica/low back pain. Thanks to Rachel's expert treatment and care, after 6 just weeks I was feeling really well and moving much better than I have in ages. I highly recommend Rachel for anyone experiencing any low back issues.
I had been struggling with back and shoulder pain after starting a new job and from just a few sessions with Jessica Clancy, I felt like a new person. She taught me a number of exercises which I could perform that helped to alleviate my …
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. Ryan worked with me and in a short while, I was good as new!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
SOS Northfield provides top quality professional physiotherapy. Adam and his team are competent and caring. They excel at what they do! You will not be disappointed with their services. I highly recommend them!
After going to a few different physios with no relief, I was referred to Adam. Adam and all the staff at Northfield have helped my whole family. They are all down to earth and take a genuine interest in your care. Adam helped me personally get back to being pain-free! I am so grateful to have been referred to Adam!
Thank you to Dr. Rachel for fixing my aches and pains! She has been wonderful to work with and gave me great preventative stretches to ensure I keep pain free! The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. A big thanks to the entire team at SOS Physiotherapy - Northfield!
I recently suffered from a herniated disc and resulting sciatica, which was my first experience with this horrendously painful condition. I went to see Rachel Goldsworthy, and I was so impressed by her. She was knowledgeable, supportive, kind, gentle but tough…. She helped me so much with the pain, and with my lack of mobility. Thanks to her, I am back on my feet and functioning normally…. Thanks so much Rachel, and SOS…
I would definitely recommend Rachel from SOS Physiotherapy. I found her to be friendly , patient and kind. She took time to answer my questions and explained things in detail. She gave me a plan of care as well as exercises to help my back heal from falling down the stairs. ( at 54 years of age that can be quite painful.)But she didn’t overwhelm me with exercises, so I was encouraged to do them. I thoroughly enjoyed my time going and I am so glad my daughter recommended this chiropractor.
I had never had physiotherapy before and having been a lifelong athlete thought that I could manage my injury on my own. I was very wrong. When I started with Ryan I was in constant discomfort and had lost 50% of my ROM (range of motion) …
I was referred to Jessica Clancy for pelvic physio. At the time I did not know there was such a thing. Within a month I had relief that I had not felt for years. Jessica was great. Explained everything step by step, was very …
I had a sudden onset of pain in my foot and ankle that was stopping me from participating in my usual exercise routine and social activities. I was treated at SOS Physiotherapy by Rachel Goldsworthy. I was impressed by her knowledge & friendly manner. With a few treatment sessions and a set of exercises to do at home, my pain had gone within a few weeks! Holly at reception was very friendly & helpful as well.
Definitely recommend SOS Physiotherapy! The clinic is bright and clean plus has plenty of free parking. But more importantly it has incredibly talented therapists! Jess has been amazing with my daughter’s scoliosis therapy and was able …
I cannot express enough gratitude to Adam for his healing abilities and caring approach. He is a talented physiotherapist. My body is moving and I could not be happier about that. Also the front staff are so welcoming and organized. Simply the best place for Physio.
Hands down the best place to go to get Physiotherapy in KW. Their team of highly trained physios create a fun and engaging atmosphere that prioritizes the comfort and safety of their patients. They have helped me recover from injuries that …
I give sos a five star review for the whole team! I was once a patient for lower back herniation, Adam Defoe worked with me on all levels to bring me back to my normal day to day life and Im so thankful for that! I recently had another lower back injury, and knew that sos was the place to go. Rachel goldsworthy was my chiropractor and therapist for my new injury. She did everything possible to correct my current condition and today I'm back to normal again! Big thank you to Rachel and the sos team for always being there when I need help! Highly recommend if you suffer and type of pain sos is the place to go !
Outstanding experience at SOS physiotherapy @ Northfield Dr. Waterloo. First-class treatment from Adam D. and their team while surrounded by an extremely clean and modern clinic. Thank you SOS.
Diagnosis was bang on! Arthur (and the team) was committed to resolving my issues. Combination of exercises and needling got me back to my active lifestyle! Thanks SOS Team!
SOS Physiotherapy changed my life. I have been suffering from extreme neck pain over the course of two years and had been attending both chiropractic and massage therapy services with no improvement. Earlier this year I caved and saw a practitioner who referred me to physiotherapy. After calling around to several clinics, I settled on SOS and have never looked back. From the moment I walked through the door, Holly was welcoming and friendly. As I returned for my second visit, she had already remembered my name and took the time to follow up on previous questions/remarks. It is evident that she truly enjoys her position at the clinic and appreciates each client that walks through the door! For my physio needs, Ryan has been attentive, receptive to my pain/complaints I've experienced with my neck pain, and has been able to provide me the knowledge and skills required to complete my exercise program. From day 1 he was hopeful that my pain and limitations in movement could be improved, and he was not wrong! I'm so grateful for his patience, attentiveness, and ability to tailor a program specific to my needs. He challenges me with different neck exercises each visit, and will even give me exercises to help me get back into better shape! For my chiropractic needs, Dr. Goldsworthy has been working alongside Ryan to ensure I get the proper adjustments in my neck and back. She listened to the full history of my injury, assessed the positions of my joints and range of motion, and targeted specific areas that would provide relief while also stabilizing my neck. Sleep has been one of my biggest challenges and finding the right pillow and position has been one of the most frustrating aspects of this injury. On her own time, she spent over an hour researching different types of pillows for me to try and was able to suggest one that finally works! If you ever find yourself or a loved one in need of physiotherapy or chiropractic care, I cannot recommend this clinic enough! From day one you will feel welcomed, appreciated, and heard. To the SOS physio team, I cannot thank you enough for all you've done to get me back to a place where neck pain isn't the only thing I can think about. While I still feel some discomfort on occasion, I am able to do everyday tasks with little to no pain and truly get back to enjoying my life once again, which is enough to give me hope that this will not be something I endure forever!
This place was transformative. I worked with Rachel and I cannot stress how amazing her attention to detail was. Her ability to assess me not just on my first visit but every time I would come in to ensure we were getting the results and recovery needed. The best part, I consider her not only my go to chiro but a friend!
I have been seeing Jessica Clancy for about 6 months, and saw improvements after 3 visits with her. If you need any assistance with pelvic floor physio I encourage you to go see Jessica. She is so kind, knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable from the very start. Keep up the great work Jess!!
Rachel Goldsworthy at the Parkside location did an amazing job with my hip and knee. I''ve had hip and knee issues for a few years now. And she was able to fix them through a great regiment of exercises.
Jessica Clancy, my physiotherapist, is a true expert in her field. I have been fortunate enough to have been scheduled with her for: 1) following a broken wrist, therapy to ensure full mobility was restored (CHECK!); and 2) work on a knee issue following overuse due to long-distance running (CHECK!). I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ms. Clancy as she is THE BEST ... Always cheerful, always accommodating, and always so insightful and knowledgeable. You are most definitely in good hands with her. Not that I want to have any future issues, but should I, I would without a doubt ask for JESSICA CLANCY again.
This past November I sprained my left wrist while skateboarding. Initially it was quite swollen, painful and I had severely decreased range of motion / strength in the wrist. After 6 weeks of attempting to rehab it by myself with little to no improvement, I decided to go to physio. From my first contact with SOS the receptionist was wonderful, very kind and helpful. Ryan began preforming physiotherapy on my wrist. He was amazing, very informative, kind, knowledgeable and personable. Over time my wrist continued to improve. Ryan continued to provide excellent care and provide me with new stretches / suggestions.Today I've graduated from Physio and I'd highly reccomend SOS to anyone.
SOS was recommended to me, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. The staff is incredible. Knowledgeable, kind, and true professionals through and through. I have been treated by both Adam and Jess and there are just not enough words to describe how amazing they both are. They care so much that they feel like family.
After suffering with an old shoulder injury and daily pain for years I decided to give SOS Physiotherapy a try. The results have been wonderful! Although not perfect, my range of motion has improved dramatically and I am extremely happy with the results. Ryan is a terrific physiotherapist who is extremely knowledgeable. He encouraged me to keep working at improving while setting realistic expectations. At this point in my life I’m not interested in surgery and I’m more than happy to be able to manage daily tasks without pain! Thanks Ryan, you and everyone at SOS Northfield are fantastic!
For years I have had this troubling back and neck pain. Once in the while this pain will come and go by itself after 3 or 4 days. I never bothered to go see a Chiropractor even though it hurts whenever I get those pains. My wife eventually booked an appointment for me to go see Dr. Rachel at SOS Waterloo and she was amazing! She has such care for what she does and very easy to deal with. I am so glad I did as she didn't only help but also showed me things to do that would help me control the frequency of those random pains. Thanks Dr. Rachel. I really appreciate your help and care.
I have had the best experience at SOS, Northfield, with Ryan. And the other staff have always been so friendly. I've been recommending SOS to others since I started last September. I am 70 years old and had a really bad shoulder dislocation and rotator cuff tear. Ryan has been so gentle and encouraging since I had so much pain at the beginning. I feel like he is my coach to keep me doing my exercises. His encouragement has meant so much! I feel like I would have quit physio if he hadn't been there. I tried another physio place that pushed so hard they made me cry and I was about ready to give up. Thanks again Ryan for being so great!
The reviews of this place are all true. Don't wait, go book today so you feel better tomorrow! The positive first impressions upon entering SOS are boosted by the competence and cheery compassion of their administrator, Holly. She's one of the more organized humans I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with at a medical 'type' office and is a pro at working the schedule to accommodate everyone's needs. In a word: she's swell! On a colleague's recommendation, I spent a significant amount of time seeing Adam over the last year to treat shoulder mobility issues and major neck pain from a skiing accident when I was younger combined with years of bartending (poor posture, repetitive motion, lack of sleep). In order to get back into shape during the pando, I have been lifting weights and doing functional-style workouts and being unable to lift weights over my shoulder-height properly was both frustrating and increasingly painful. Over the years I've tried chiropractics, massage, osteopathy with little to show for it for this specific issue but Adam's kindness, knowledge, and skill was the ticket to a pain-free existence. He completed a full assessment with me and, most importantly, asked me what my goals were. Starting with this compassionate question really helped unlock the route that we would take and was the thing that helped me stick with the program. Admit it, we've all done the recommended exercises for a few weeks and then trailed off before. Having a health care provider who makes you feel like you're a person to be invested in rather than a box to be ticked is what makes you invest in yourself. You want to be healthy because his kindness lets you know HE wants you to be healthy. Don't let him down. What I really noticed was the "test-treat-retest" method employed by Adam and the other clinicians at SOS. They always ask the client how the area-to-treat feels and then do a short physical assessment. They treat the area using various combinations of methods and then retest to make certain there is an improvement, charting it for next time. This method seems simple and common sense but I have been to too many clinics where they just do the same treatments over and over again, expecting success. The definition of insanity. I've said enough. If you're still reading this, you deserve it to go to a place where you're cared about. SOS Physio IS that place. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, you'll be glad you came. Even if you're sore the next day because of it!
