Reviews of SOS Physiotherapy (Physiotherapist)

Fred Carson

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.

Thomas Flynn

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.

Beth Grace Moore

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. At first I was hesitant because I'm a student and money isn't as flowing, but after meeting with Arthur my physiotherapist, he showed me how to approach a ligament injury with care and provided the appropriate exercise to not only heal my injury but make my hamstring stronger than it was before. SOS has helped me protect myself by communicating what activities I shouldn't be doing during recovery as well as giving me the confidence to return back to regular activities without getting reinjured. I am so thankful for all the help Arthur and SOS has given me, and hope other people in my situation will seek out their help with they recoveries.

Rochelle Hutton

Thank you SOS for helping me to feel better quickly and for working with me to try to prevent further injury. The Northfield location was clean, easy to access and the staff have all been very welcoming as well. The variety of treatment options have helped my mobility and reduced the pain associated with my injury. Thanks so much - I will be back!

Yvette DeBeer

Amazing webinar on Rotator Cuff. Learned a lot. Will definitely visit the clinic

Colleen Martin

I am immensely pleased with the results I've had working with Jess to address my ongoing lower back (pelvic) pain. Within a few weeks of treatment, I have noticed a huge difference which is life changing for me.

Catalina Ramirez

I had the opportunity to visit SOS Physiotherapy and I had a good experience. I was treated with respect and professionalism. Jessica was my physio and she was friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend SOS Physiotherapy at Waterloo to everyone.

We each worked with Adam when he was at the Belmont clinic.. We each are so grateful for his professional expertise and personable manner. His treatments and presecribed exercices have solved the physical problems we came to him with. So glad to know he's back to work and ready again to bring healing to clients! We offer best wishes to all at SOS and particularly at their new Northfield clinic!

Irene T

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!

Linlin Li

Jessica at SOS Northfield listened to me and was able to help me recover from worsening carpel tunnel syndrome by prescribing various exercises and explaining to me the reasoning for my pain. I was so impressed that I returned for other issues too! Jessica is caring, knowledgable, and professional - would not hesitate to recommend this team.

I thoroughly enjoyed the free workshop I attended led by Jon on Sciatica and Lower Back Pain at SOS Northfield. The workshop was very informative, engaging and interactive. Not only did I become familiar with common back ailments and causes, I learned very quickly that the practitioners at SOS are very invested in finding the correct course of treatment and exercise for their patients so they can return to the activities they have always enjoyed free of pain. Jon was extremely knowledgeable and responded to a variety of questions with clarity and precision and explained the different types of treatment available. I feel very confident in pursuing treatment with the physiotherapists at SOS Northfield! Thank you for providing this workshop!

Ray Clemmer

Jon did a great job on the webinar on March 17 I went for my DV session 2 days later and was very impressed with his knowledge of how a broken down body could be helped. He and his associates were very friendly and helpful.

Cindy Mercury

Just enjoyed an informative online session on shoulder pain. Confirmed I need to do something and not ignore it, even though it's starting to feel better. Had great success years ago with knee therapy too.

Dawson Braga

SOS has been so helpful in my road to recovery. The team here is amazingly friendly and know their stuff. Adam has personally helped me for almost a year now after never having me needs met with other physiotherapists. If you need a good clinic give SOS a try, you won’t be disappointed (:

Kristen Wilson

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.

Emma B

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 :)

Brenda Luscott

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!

Annie Bishop

Adam Dafoe helped me with severe sciatica which made it impossible for me to drive for more than one hour at a time. Along with effective treatments, he taught me a regiment of exercises that I could do to maintain and improve my progress. I highly recommend SOS Physiotherapy.

Lindsie Driver

I had been working with Jess C. at Belmont when they told me they were opening on Northfield in February. I was pumped because it was far more convenient from work and on the way home. Jess is exceptional, alongside all the other professionals in SOS. They are competent and have 5 star customer service. The clinic on Northfield is beautiful and full of all brand new equipment. If you're looking for a physio clinic in KW, SOS is definitely the place to go, you won't be disappointed.

Nathan Henderson

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!

ehsan samadani

I am quite happy with my experience as the treatment was absolutely effective and the doctor and staff were all friendly and professional.

Jake Dyck

Enjoyed the shoulder pain rotator cuff webinar! Great presenters and interactive. Keep up the great work!

Judy Braun

Pelvic Physio During a Physio appointment at SOS Physiotherapy last fall I saw a promo for a Pelvic Physiotherapy Webinar … ladies only … and I figured, listening can’t possibly hurt. I had been dealing with deteriorating control issues over the past 10 or so years. So I signed up. The Webinar was hosted by Jessica Clancy from the SOS Northfield location and she presented as very compassionate and caring and her knowledge was impressive. I was very surprised to learn that the issues I was experiencing were very common, not age related or a result of my endometriosis … So I signed up for a discovery visit. I wish my doctor had asked these questions and pushed for such complete answers (no evasion was acceptable here) and although it was embarrassing (growing up these issues were NEVER discussed), Jess did her absolute best to make me feel comfortable. I took some convincing but I agreed to the dreaded internal exam!! Jess was able to diagnose my specific problems and developed a plan for treatment. And then modified it as I struggled to do the assigned exercises. It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t comfortable and it was embarrassing but she understood all that and helped me deal with it. She cut me slack when I needed it due to work stresses but she always encouraged me to give it my best effort. And was quick to praise my small successes. But, slowly, I started to see improvement which encouraged me to continue. Jess continued to add exercises as I progressed and was very patient modifying them to work for me. I have finished my treatment, and have been symptom free for over a month. Jess left me with all the exercises I need to do to maintain my progress and hopefully continue to improve. I can highly recommend both Jess and Pelvic Physical Therapy … both have made a huge difference in my quality of life!!

Robert Maxwell

Very professional and knowledgeable physios. Great attention to detail from a safety perspective during these unsettled times. Progressive treatment that goes beyond a simple few manipulations and hooking you up to a machine. They put a lot of time and thought into treatment plan and recovery plan. Definitely a trustworthy and results oriented practice

Susan

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.

Shawn Brunsting

Friendly staff, good pandemic protocols made visiting feel as safe as possible, and setting up virtual appointments when I was out of town was easy.

Jacqueline Hendershot

I have visited Jessica here a couple of times (after starting with her at the Belmont location). She is great, and the clinic is open and airy. It is in a convenient location as well. If I have any further issues to deal with I will definitely be coming back (although I hope that I can stay injury free!).

Whiskey Wiser

Could hardly walk when I went in ... 30 mins later I'm walking out just fine! Thank you Arthur you're the best!

Susan Gentile

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.

Rukma Ramdenee

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!!

Ginette Tseng

I was having chronic back/shoulder/neck issues for over a year before coming to see Jessica Clancy and the team at SOS. With a carefully planned out program, I am happy to say that most (if not all the issues) are gone! Thank you Jess!

Mark Reaume

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 constructing a plan to help alleviate the pain in my back using various exercises and adjustments. Her knowledge and skills have quickly made improvements to my condition, and I would recommend Jess to anyone looking to do the same.

Michelle P

For a few years now I've had a chronic pain in my left elbow, it got so bad that I couldn't lift a pot while cooking or even hold my toddler. I even got to the point where I was trying not to use my arm as much...as I am writing this I rrealize how ridiculous that! After a quick Google search, I found SOS physiotherapy and based on their reviews I booked an appointment and I am so glad I did! My Therapist was Ryan Marrin, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! He helped me heal my sore elbow and gave me mobility again! Thank you Ryan and the team at S.O.S!

Kathy Tyler

My experience has been seamless. We had form to fill out that we only had to fill out once and then online we submitted the covid questions before each visit. Upon arrival I waited in my car until John clay came out and got me. Always on time. We washed our hands before the appointment and after. Masks must be worn. Northfield Sos is easy to get to and the staff are top notch. He gave me exercises I can do at home which has really helped. Thanks John!!

Sarah de Boer

My experience at SOS was great! I quickly saw improvement and Ryan made it easy!

Darien Schettler

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).

Lori Trumper

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, strong, caring and makes my sessions with SOS enjoyable, informative and provides relief to pain and discomfort. I highly recommend Jessica. My experiences with a few of the Physiotherapists at SOS have been exceptional and I highly recommend the clinic and the staff.

James Serez

The great environment and team of highly intelligent and experienced physiotherapists give you the confidence to know you're in good hands.

Hannah Larissa Nunes

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!

Jessie P

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!

Devyn Maybee

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!

gregoire belland

The Vatican announced today that Dr. Rachel Goldsworthy has been pronounced as Venerable, the first stages of confirmation to sainthood. The Vatican is investigating a miracle cure of hallus rigidus and planar fasciitis attributed to her. The patient claims that after a laying of hands and nine novenas with Dr.Goldsworthy he has been completely heeled. She claims it was only for the good of his soles. While the Vatican continues its inquiries into the miraculous powers of Dr. Goldsworthy, braces, orthotics, old running shoes and golf clubs have begun to appear in the reception of the clinic. Are they possibly signs of other miracles ? 5 1/2*

SimplyAgatha

Jessica has helped me come a long way with my muscle pain. . . I truly recommend her, she is absolutely the best!

Shawn McCloskey

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!

Rose Kragiel

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!

Alicia Snider

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.

Zbig Wasilewski

I have been seeing John Clay since the middle of July, initially twice a week and now just once a week. My rotator cuff is almost healed, so after the period of manual work, dry needling, and laser therapy, John is transitioning me to strengthening exercises. From literally first-hand experience I give John my strongest recommendations. I injured my arm during downhill skiing in late February. Seeing that things were not getting any better I contacted another physiotherapy clinic in May. However, after initial improvement, things started to deteriorate and by July I was in constant pain, worse off than right after the injury. My guess is that I was put too early on strengthening exercises and the physiotherapist guiding me was not paying attention to my growing concerns that some of the exercises were painful and aggravated my condition. In retrospect, I am very happy that I made the decision to switch to SOS Physiotherapy Northfield.

Mike Shaw

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 get around the house and relied heavily on the railings when going up or down stairs. I called work to tell them what was going on with me and that I would call my doctor to start the process of sorting it out. Being that we are in a raging Pandemic my doctor's office was closed. By phone she assessed my symptoms and decided to recommend physiotherapy to see if my ankle could be made well again by them. I did a search for physiotherapy in Waterloo and found one within a one minute drive of home. This is how I found S.O.S Physiotherapy. Online I requested an appointment and got an intake phone call and booked my appointment. My first visit was a thorough assessment. The ggod news was that Ryan said that they could fix my ankle and estimated that 8 to 10 treatments would be required. He also asked me what goals I had for my ankle. They included having confidence in my left ankle, being able to walk our dog, being able to return to work, being able to go for long walks and to be able to run again. Throughout the course of treatments I received muscle massages, stretching, balancing and strengthening exercises, ankle, knee and hip adjustments, advice and explanations about my ankles and goals, acupuncture and laser treatments. The result is that I now have an ankle that allows me to meet and exceed the goals that I had set for myself. Thanks to Ryan for his expert treatments, sage advice and well-appreciated guidance. I easily and heartily recommend S.O.S Physiotherapy. They provide a welcoming, concerned and fun environment. I can attest that, if you don't do the home exercises, you can't succeed.

Daniel Delattre

I attended a free online virtual webinar about knee pain. The webinar was very informative and at the same time Jon explained everything very well without having to have a doctor's degree. I'm waiting to be contacted for a free assessment.

Phillip Lu

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.

Arjun Chopra

I have been with Adam at SOS for years now and he is an awesome physio. He is a very humble, down to earth and an extremely knowledgeable physio. The Northfiled centre is new, the layout is good with lots of natural light. The staff is awesome and would definitively recommend Adam @SOS for any physio needs.

Darren Helmond

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!

Natasha Ramlall

I'm grateful that I found Adam. He knows his stuff, and he helped me a great deal to make progress with my mobility.

Elliot Wand

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%

Erik Star

Living with Chronic Pain, from a Motorcycle Accident, and earlier playing most contact sports in high school: football, basketball, hockey, soccer, wrestling, etc.' Now getting older means a whole lot of other 'unknown-previously-unfelt' body issues : in my Pain for which i previously sought out many Other modalities of health therapy/care; and upon Discovering SOS in the early 90's David Slover 'cured' me to enjoy my life again. Much later on in life, i'm now in older age-circumstances, seeking Help at a new SOS Location: Northfield. Adam and Jon, with whom i am still amazed at their quick abilities to listen! help, and eventually help their Patients concerns . Amazingly-Caring Personalities, knowledgeable, efficient, observant, and always doing their best. Again, i'm on my way back to better health, after me (an-old-style guy), of giving my body way too many more challenges, at which spouses groan and cry over. I'm not really absorbing the idea of getting Older/weaker/sorer. I don't want to Deteriorate. Their work at SOS right now relieves not only my physical ailments, but all of this also relieves my personal, emotional issues, for the Moment, which in being changed to good help all of my family. Thanks, this time around, again: SOS: Adam and Jon, and all 'supporting' staff in the Front and Back Offices.... You all do a really great job Amen..

Ahsan Sadiq

The team at the clinic is fantastic. Adam is practical, very knowledgeable, and someone who fosters a sense of accountability for one's health without being pushy. I am symptom free thanks to Adam and more importantly, he educated me enough to allow me to continue doing well without returning as often to the clinic. The atmosphere at the clinic is relaxed, accommodating and finely tuned to good customer service. Can't recommend them strongly enough!

Doug Wagner

Jessica Clancy Jess was very thorough and professional from our first meeting. She quickly developed a plan of treatment and exercises that helped my pain immediately. My arm improved with every session until I was completely pain free. Jess is also a wonderful person who genuinely cares about her patients and it's a treat to work with her.

Jennifer Berry

Welcoming atmosphere and great team. Got in quickly and recovered much faster than I had hoped. Back to all my activities and grateful for Ryan's help getting me there!

Alison Bullock

I was introduced to Chiropractic care here, and it has been the most effective treatment I've had so far! Dr. Goldsworthy explains everything she is going to do, so I never felt uneasy about being adjusted. Highly recommend.

Kelli Reynolds

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!

Bastien Goodman

Had a very good experience with Adam. He's competent, friendly, and understanding. Meeting him in videoconferencing was very practical and time efficient. He had no problem giving me a diagnostic and some exercises. After a week, my shoulder already feels much better.

MatEll Harney

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

Flossie Gateman

Wow what a great session. Tips given are all great and looking forward to the Discovery session. Keep up the great work everyone

Marshall MacRae

Jessica Clancy was great, she helped me achieve what I wanted and provided me with helpful advice along the way. No more clicking!

Nkiruka Okeke

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 ????????

Martha Taylor

I was really impressed by Adam's careful assessment of my foot injury. He explained to me not just what was going on, but why, which established a great basis for the exercise program that he instructed me on. This detailed and careful assessment make me particularly confident in the care that I was receiving, and I'm seeing excellent results as I continue with the recommended exercise and treatment plan. Many thanks, Adam. I'll try to stop hurting myself so there is room for someone else in your schedule!

C W

I was treated by Ryan after straining my back lifting/moving some heavy objects. Ryan was extremely professional and knowledgeable, getting to the root of the problem and creating an exercise routine that helped me get back on my feet and pain free in much less time than expected. Even after my treatment ended, Ryan made sure I knew that I would be taken care of with prioriry in the event of a flare up or relapse. Holly at the front of the house was also an absolute pleasure, always bringing a bright and warm attitude to her workplace and making me feel all the more welcome at SOS. She had my name and face down by the second visit, greeting me as I came in the door. Now that's impressive, and very much appreciated! Overall I would recommend SOS to anyone in need of physical therapy in the Tri-City area. The staff are consumate professionals with the practical know how and experience necessary to get you back where you need to be as soon as possible. If I'm ever in need of similar services again on the future, they'll be the first call I make, without hesitation.

William Anderson

Dr. Rachel has helped me a lot so far with my lower back pain. The facility is nice and the staff all seem very friendly, professional and helpful.

Andrew Wainwright

Adam Dafoe helped me recover from a knee injury. I was very impressed by his ability to diagnose the injury, and then treat it effectively through various physiotherapeutic means. Adam is professional, and his demeanor is very pleasant. Thanks a lot!

Gord Maidment

Cant say enough good things about SOS .Adam Dafoe and his staff are knowledegable well organized and most importantly well versed in the lost art of communication.They tell you what they plan to do and why it will benefit you.My issue was plantar related and together with SOS we had a very sucessful outcome.If you are looking for physio related treatments this is the place to go .And oh yes dont miss Hollys joke o the day .

Sarah Szymanski

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 list of exercises and stretches to work on to increase my mobility in my hips. Adam was very knowledgeable and professional and ultimately helped me work back to a full recovery. I would highly recommend Adam and SOS Physiotherapy to anyone!

Scott Stobo

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.

Tricia Agocs

Adam Dafoe is awesome. Weeks before a big family hiking trip, I developed s-i joint paint & bursitis in my knee. I was so worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with my family on the trip! I had heard good things about Adam and decided to commit to driving from Guelph for regular appts. He was great at explaining the strengthening exercises I needed to do and his needling technique is extremely effective. Happy to say he had me feeling better for my trip!

I have been a patient at SOS for the past few months for back pain and have received excellent treatment from Jessica Clancy. The other staff are also very professional and helpful. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for physiotherapy.

John and Nimmy... Nimmy and John. What can I say? I went in to the Elmira location in MARCH. John was there. Instead of being sent away with an appointment, he saw me. I had Piriformis Syndrome, a throbbing bursa and a failed core. I saw John three times when he decided it was time for me to see their Pelvic Physiotharipist, Nimmy. I got to have two adjustments with her before the lockdown. She gave me a slow routine and I didn't think it would work, but I doubled what she gave me because I already had been two months in with only some relief. Nimmy stayed on top of me and made sure I was doing the work. When Nimmy was done with me and I was able to take walks, she discharged me back to John. John is great! Just a super guy. REALLY knows his stuff. Today, I was discharged by John with a mission to keep my core strength up. I highly, HIGHLY recommend both therapists. It was a long road back for me, but I'm stronger now than before my injury and that's because of their knowledge of the body and how to get back to physical health and better than before!

Muhammad Ali Khan

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.

Tamzen Neal

I was doubtful that a virtual appointment would work, but Jessica was super patient with me and helped me a lot with our first appointment, virtually. I couldn't believe what a difference it made. In person was even better. I really appreciated the attention, support and solutions that I received from Jessica. Thanks so much!!

Barbara Fallon

Jessica is amazing! I have been having shoulder issues for over 2 years! I have been trying all sorts of modalities such as massage,chiropractic, acupuncture, and osteopathic. Nobody was really able to alleviate my discomfort. Jessica really listened to me explain my problem and was able to help me understand it and correct it! I think she really cares and is very knowledgeable. I would very much recommend Jessica

Deborah Pickles

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.

Victoria Butler

I am having the pleasure of working with a very great physiotherapist at the SOS clinic on Northfield Drive. Her name is Jessica Clancy. Not only is she professional and educated in her field she also has a personality that softly blends in with you as treatment begins. Her amazing work, dedication and encouraging push has led me to recovery. I came there broken with one problem area which then extended to another area of treatment. Always finishing with positive results for that days plan and a big smile to send you off with. Jes is truly a gem and i am very grateful.

John Scace

SOS Physiotherapy clinic on Northfield is a bright and comfortable space to receive therapy. All of the staff are excellent, professional & make you feel very comfortable and welcome. They now offer laser treatments as well! Bonus for all of who have had long term pain. You can expect to receive a complete treatment plan of exercises that you can do at home to speed up your recovery and help in your long term health plan.

Peter Albright

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 pain and to further strengthen those muscle groups so I had a better overall posture and would not encounter these problems again. The reception staff were also incredibly helpful and friendly so I would absolutely recommend this staff for anyone considering physical therapy.

Diane Chamberland

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!!!!

John Murray

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!

Karen Smart

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!

Jonatan Ulloa

Injuries blow, but they happen. I had a medial meniscus injury that left me with the mobility of a 90 year old - which would be alright if I wasn't in my 30's. As soon as I got hurt, I knew to look for Jonathon Clay and the team at SOS Physiotherapy Northfield because they have always provided me with top notch care. I was genuinely worried for my knee. I had a constant, painful click that would leave me unable to step properly and had me concerned about the possibility of surgery. Through a diligent plan of strengthening exercises, stretches, acupuncture, laser therapy and the prescription of an unloader brace; I have been able to get back on my feet and walk properly again without the threat of my knee clicking anymore. A shout out to Adam as well, who has always been helpful and courteous with me even when I was not working alongside him for this knee injury. I would recommend this place 11 times out of 10.

Stephanie Dance

I have had nothing but great experiences at SOS! I've received tremendous help with everything from small pains, to larger injuries from running and now benefitting from pelvic floor physio. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, kind and friendly. I can't say enough about how grateful I am for all their continuing help!

chad dance

Great location and superb service, Adam Dafoe advice and service has allowed me to quickly recover from any issue or injury that I have scene him for. I give him a strong recommendation for anyone who asks!

Alvaro Botero

I enrolled in the shoulder webinar. I found it very informative and well presented. Adam was able to answer the questions and addressed the most common issues of shoulder pain. We at the webinar were offer an assessment visit for free, which I will soon take. Thanks!

Marg Fernandes

Adam is Awesome. He is friendly, thorough, knowledgeable and professional. Helped me with hip pain when no one else could. I would highly recommend SOS!

Bonnie Riepert

I have been going to SOS for many years. During the first part of COVID-19, Jon put out a number of webinars. I was pleased that I was able to participate. It reminded me of all the knowledge that Jon has to offer. Even after a lengthy break from the clinic, Jon was willing to see me, and support my ongoing needs. He is always patient, and incredibly helpful. He set out a program of exercises to support my rehab. With all the new protocols, Jon made me feel very relaxed. I would recommend SOS to be everyone's number one choice when in need of a physiotherapist.

Norma Davis

I have had shoulder and knee pain for about 2 decades. These problems are compounded by arthritis. I have done physio with and without supervision many times over the years and would eventually "give up" because it never seemed to help. I am recently retired and my visions of travel and adventure were fading quickly. It was very depressing. Then I met Adam and everything changed. I have just completed my 8th physio session in 4 weeks. The outcomes have been nothing short of amazing. I am walking better with MUCH less pain and it just keeps getting easier. The range of motion in my shoulder, neck and upper back has increased a remarkable amount while the pain has decreased substantially. I am now beginning gentle exercises to increase the strength in my legs and shoulders. I believe that the wonderful outcomes I am experiencing are due to Adams expertise in many methods and modalities related to physiotherapy and healing. He has incorporated stretching, active release therapy, acupuncture, laser, cupping and a single chirpractic "adjustment" of my upper back into my plan of care. I always leave with "homework", but only a bit; mostly stretching. It's easy to do the work at home because the results have been so rapid and positive that I actually enjoy it. The atmosphere at SOS Northfield is up beat. The facility is bright and clean. The COVID safety precautions are reasonable and easy to manage. I believe that the cost is reasonable for the quality of the assessments and treatments. So; my retirement looks much rosier now. My husband and I are excited to travel a bit and even have visions of golfing, maybe in the spring. SOS Northfield is a wonderful choice for an individual with stubborn, persistent physical limitations and chronic pain that they thought were irreversible! Perhaps give this a try, you might just change your vision of your future too! Many thanks to Adam and his team.

Charlotte Panagapka

I have seen Jon for many years thru various ailments including sciatica. He works with me, gives me some things to do at home and gradually it gets back to normal. A couple of years some new quirk shows up and it’s back to see Jon???? I always feel confident in his methods and information. I have recommended their clinic to many of my friends. A great KW resource!

Kendra Seymour

Great service, super friendly, lots of volunteers/students learning the ropes but all are well supervised. Highly recommend Jess - she's amazing!

Julie Swatson

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!

John Whitney

I have been an SOS client for many years and I'm most impressed with the new Northfield location. Staff is awesome and the COVID protocols are first rate and very safe! Well done Team SOS.

tanja bihr

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…

Junang Li

Doctor Rachel reduced all my pain in my back! I would definitely recommend my friends if they need physiotherapy!

Brooke Catto

I saw Jess at SOS physiotherapy and she helped me so much. My pain and range of motion improved greatly while seeing her. Thanks Jess!

Lyse Davitt

Wonderful experience. I saw Jessica for a couple of weeks for help with a lingering knee problem. She is professional, knowledgeable and always in a great mood! The Covid protocols were excellent and I felt completely comfortable getting treatment. Jessica will be the first person I call if I need physiotherapy in the future.

Wendy Reinhart

I went to SOS physiotherapist Jessica with pain in my hip and leg. She was very knowledgeable and helped me to feel so much better with the pain that sent me there and so much more. I would not hesitate to go again or reccommend her to everyone. Thanks Jessica

Justin Marchesseault

Worked with Adam Dafoe who is very knowledgeable and has provided great support through my (hip)recovery . Worked together through COVID via Zoom which worked well. Back to in person sessions which is great! Would HIGHLY Recommend!!

Rebecca Barrow

My daughter had a great experience doing physiotherapy with Ryan who made it fun and relevant to her interests ????

John Kabucis

I have been a patient with SOS for many years. Over the years I have been treated for a number of different injuries and ailments. The diagnosis is always determined quickly and the followup treatments have always resolved the pain issues promptly. The facility is clean, modern and inviting and the staff are always attentive and caring.

Kim Alviano

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.

Janine Holtom

I have had physiotherapy at Northfield, in office, by both Jess and Jon and my experience has been excellent. With the measures in place, due to Covid 19, I feel totally safe. Prior to attending the office physically, I had 2 virtual sessions. They were worthwhile, but the therapy in office has been a 1,000 times better with more options for treatment. Plus they are such super individuals. I totally recommend SOS to anyone who may be considering this type of treatment.

B W

Great location. Free parking. Jessica's diagnosis was thorough and the in clinic manipulations have been working great. Really impressed with the simple effective exercises given to do at home and the "best practices" given for normal every day activities to prevent further issues. Northfield clinic covid protocol works great, everyone wears masks, lots of space between tables and airy. Clients and therapists wash hands in separate areas before and after treatments. Highly recommend this SOS location and Jessica.

Caroline Wilson

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) and could not complete simple daily tasks using my injured shoulder. After our discussed plan of treatment, my appointments, and my detailed home exercises I am at 90-95% full range and thrilled. From the moment you walk in the door to the time you leave you are well taken care of.

Nancy Leek

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 professional and pleasant, and gave me homework so I could improve faster. Both SOS Physiotherapy and Jessica have been a godsend for me as I work through a few long lasting and stress related issues. Thanks again Jessica!

Neil martineau

Thank you so much Jessica and Adam. I now have full range and pain free motion in both shoulders. A brand new approach to therapy that I have not experienced in the past. I highly recommend SOS Physiotherapy .

Kelly Coren

Everyone in the clinic is friendly and professional. I was in a lot of pain when I started going to S.O.S. Physiotherapy. Right away Jess targeted the areas I needed to work on. I notice a decrease in the level of pain after each visit.

S Mawson

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.

B & R George

I’ve been seeing Jon for quite a few years now, on and off for acute lower back pain. He gets me in within a timely manner and has me fixed up and good to go within no time. Great environment and friendly staff. Amazing team at the Northfield location. I would definitely refer anyone that needs a good Physiotherapist to visit Jon and the other therapists at SOS physiotherapy. Thank you Jon Clay for your help and dedication to my health.

Angela Gastmeier

I have Jessica as my pelvic floor physiotherapist. She is knowledgeable, caring and so wonderful! She has been a great help in my recovery. However, I only gave four stars because the reception isn’t so great. I was trying to pay for my appointment and waited 15 minutes for her to get off the phone, only for her to answer another phone call before she assisted me.

Marc Lacoste

Had treatment since Covid19, was extremely impressed with the protocols taken for safety . The service as always is top notch. Would recommend to anyone.

Zeno Economides

I have been seeing Adam for over a year for my shoulder and lower back pain. I always look forward to visiting Adam because I know I’m going to get Expert advice and well taken care of. Adam is very professional and His knowledge and understanding of physiotherapy is impeccable. I Highly recommend him.

Wendy Carson

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 to quickly diagnose and recommend exercises to treat my arm pain. You can tell she cares about her patients! If you follow her recommendations you can be pain free in no time!

Bonnie Moffatt

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.

Martha Lobsinger

Prior to the Northfield clinic opening, I attended a should injury workshop and was very impressed with the presentation and explanation of this particular injury and assessment and treatments this team could provide. I booked an appt with Jessica Clancy who at the first visit did a thorough assessment and treatment that day. She followed up with email exercise programs and recommended number of visits. I also benefited from other modalities she provided at each treatment. She is wonderful and I am healing!! The Northfield clinic and staff are also very friendly and considerate ... the clinic is spacious, clean and comfortable. Their response during covid-19 was to ensure patients were cared for in providing virtual treatments and informative newsletters. I would highly recommend SOS Physiotherapy to anyone seeking injury or chronic pain treatment.

Mary Ann Burke

The staff at Northfield go out of their way to make everyone welcome. Ryan Marrin made physio almost enjoyable! He helped fix my shoulder quickly and was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended!

Landon Peng

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 other professionals couldn't figure out and for that I am truly thankful. Holly at the front desk is a joy to talk to. She is the first person you see when you walk in, always greets you with a smile, knows you by name, and makes you wish you had shown up earlier for your appointment just to spend a little bit more time waiting at the front. She truly sets the tone for the overwhelmingly positive experience I have received each time I go in for treatment.

Anne Woolner

I broke my wrist ( on my dominant side) at beginning of the pandemic and the orthopaedic surgeon told me that because of the pandemic, there would be no physio available for me after the cast was off. I was so fortunate to find SOS and Adam Dafoe, where I received virtual physio until he was able to see me person. The difference has been amazing! His physical manipulation of my wrist and the acupuncture has had better results than expected. I am looking forward to getting my wrist and fingers back to normal with his expertise.

Wes Barichak

Nothing but good things to say about SOS! Super clean, modern facilities. Jess was fantastic. I had a lot of lower back and hip pain that was making simple activities difficult. Back on track now and able to workout without any pain!

Erin Rellinger Smith

I have previously been a patient at SOS Belmont but when they opened the Northfield location, I was very happy as it is walking distance from house. I went in June 2020 for low back issues and was set up with Jessica Clancy. I have always seen Jon in the past and Jessica has a very similar treatment approach. I really liked her and my pain symptoms lessened tremendously within the first 3 visits. She could quickly identify what my issue was and give me the right treatment and exercises. I felt safe in the clinic given the current COVID-19 situation. The clinic was very clean, they were thorough with the instructions they gave me and all necessary protocols were followed.

Jason Hubbell

Adam has fixed my broken body! Whether it was sports injuries, or regular wear and tear from my sedentary day job, Adam’s always fixed me up. The whole team are all Allstars and it’s a pleasure being in there! Highly recommend!

Todd Burnside

After injuring my shoulder during a trail ride, I ended up at SOS for treatment. Jess is a fantastic PT, who is very professional, and friendly. My recovery was quick and while I enjoyed my experience at SOS, I hope it is a long time before I have to come back.

garry boland

My experience with SOS was excellent. I had torn a muscle and waited too long to get physio. I finally decided to do something about it. My therapist, Adam Defoe was fantastic. Unlike some other places I have been, Adam never seemed rushed and took the time to really listen to me. As well, he was excellent at explaining what he was doing and the treatment options. In particular, dry-needling was very effective at relieving the pain and tension in my back. I do not hesitate to recommend the Clinic and Adam to anyone in need.

Caitlin Kirby

I have been seeing Adam for physiotherapy and have nothing but wonderful things to say. He is thorough, professional, and goes above and beyond to ensure my pain is managed, treated, and that the results are maintained. He does a wonderful job at looking at the big picture and focusing on prevention so that the pain does not return in the future. Due to COVID-19, he quickly adapted his therapy to be available via video so that treatment continued to be accessible. Thanks Adam!!

Shawn McBride

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 !

Sheridan Crease

I went to see Adam Defoe for a shoulder injury. I was immediately impressed with his kind and knowledgeable manner. He laid out a program of recovery which has been very easy to follow. I appreciate that I have had 4-5 manageable exercises to do. No great long routines. I am utterly astounded at how much my shoulder has improved! Adam is continually so encouraging that I feel like doing my exercises most of the time! I highly recommend SOS Physiotherapy. It is a lovely facility, highly professional and Adam is an excellent physiotherapist. Go see them!

Barb Heppler

I enjoyed the Shoulder and Rotator Cuff webinar and found it helpful. Information shared was useful (like why it’s important for the pain to be reproducible, and how a tight neck muscle can cause pain by pulling up on the 1st rib, etc.) The shoulder skeleton prop was helpful during the muscle/tendon/inflammation physiology explanation. The webinar was definitely worth it! I’ve been to Adam for physio. His knowledge and treatments combined with me doing his recommended exercise homework resulted in 100% recovery of a bad knee! Without hesitation, I suggest giving them a call if you need physiotherapy. Thank you SOS team!

Jan Huissoon

Dr. Rachel's excellent treatment and attention helped get my lower back strain sorted out - highly recommended.

Carol Bauman

Adam helped me through an incredibly painful bout with a herniated disc 4 years ago, followed by a fractured shoulder. I can't speak highly enough about the excellent care, advice, follow-ups, exercises, and encouragement he gave me. I could have easily lost hope but his professional and confident skills brought me back to gardening, hiking, biking, and lifting BOTH arms above my head (when my orthopedic surgeon had told me I would never lift the broken arm above shoulder height). Believe in Adam and do the work he suggests!

Jennifer Shepherd

A friend referred me to Jonathon Clay at SOS Physiotherapy after I moved here from Toronto 6 years ago (he was at the Belmont location at the time). My friend was right - Jon was fantastic helping me recover from an injury (and helped me with my golf swing). I’ve been a ‘repeat’ patient of SOS a few times since then. Before finding SOS Physiotherapy I did try 4 other PT clinics in K-W and they simply don’t compare. Jon is I believe the best PT in K-W. Recently requiring Jon’s care and expertise again, I followed him to his newest SOS location on Northfield (at Weber). It's a brand new top notch facility (if lucky you'll get the treatment table under the skylight). Great location, and lots of free parking! COVID: If you need physio don’t put off going to SOS because of your Covid concerns/apprehension. SOS is taking every precaution possible; the SOS team want to stay healthy too. I feel completely safe going into the Northfield clinic - it's huge with lots of space. A very limited number of staff and patients are in the clinic at any one time. Everything is sanitized after each patient - you'll see them clean. I’ve been going for physio with Jon at SOS Northfield weekly for the past month; but I still won’t go into a restaurant.

Richard Payne

Great workshop on all things running and walking by Dr. Rachel and Kalsey. Thanks also for sending the warm-up and cool-down tips, footstrengthening tips, and favorite shoe list. Time to go shopping!

Diana Marini

I've been a letter carrier with Canada Post for 32 years, and a patient of Jon Clay's (SOS) for the last 10 years. He's made a significant difference in my day to day working life, the man is simply magic! Recently I had the opportunity to attend my appointments at their new clinic on Northfield Dr... what a great space! Easily accessible, tons of parking but most of all, a comfortable, friendly atmosphere and totally clean and safe with all COVID measures in place. Their attention to care and and their genuine concern for their patients is absolutely priceless and second to none.

Scott Curtis

Adam is an excellent therapist. I have been helped by him for a number of years now. His knowledge and skill is outstanding. The new clinic has a great atmosphere and is convenient to get to with lots of free parking.

Jared Collinson

Words cannot describe how amazing Adam and the staff are at SOS!! I've been plagued by a severe back injury that has had me crippled for months. Working with Adam, we have been able to get back to daily life without surgery!! I'm not 100% as of yet but I truly believe that Adam will be able to get me there! I would highly recommend him or anyone at SOS!

Matthew Kirby

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.

Monica Weber

I had a pain in my neck and numb fingers, and these kind, capable people helped me over my injury, and chronic issues, by first reducing my pain and then helped me become stronger, so I could avoid needing to take time off for surgery or further damage. My life is better for it. Thanks Adam! If you need a tune up, go see them, you're worth it!

Deanne Keil

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!

Alexis Heffernan

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!

Khushwant Sidhu

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!

Laura Peterson

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!!

Karly Kloc

Went to Jess for pain in my shoulder and wrist that I had been experiencing on and off for a long time. She was very thorough at every session and really understood what was going on with my pain and helped me function again! Highly recommend :)

Phil Nicholls

Jon is professional, knowledgeable and executed a successful treatment strategy to reduce my pain, help me sleep and allow me to resume playing sports. I felt very comfortable and safe with the clinic’s precautionary measures with regards to COVID, and would highly recommend this clinic to others seeking excellent care.

jebu joseph

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.

Catherine Bernard

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.

Benjamin Meyers

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.

Rodd Rayner

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.

sylvia fernley

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!

Sandy Parr

When I couldn’t raise my arm up, or reach behind my back, Jon’s treatment brought my arm movement back to normal. He has a great sense of humour and helped me through the pain. I’d go back to anyone at SOS if I needed help again. Great folks.

Gideon Swatson

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.

My experience at SOS has exceeded my expectations! I have been working with Adam for a couple of months now and in that short time I have greatly improved my mobility and strength! Adam immediately identified my physical imbalances and has provided me with a variety of exercises and movement patterns to work on to overcome them and to function and move properly and with less pain. I highly recommend Adam and his team at SOS!

I started SOS Physiotherapy Northfield in July with hip pain that I have endured for 10 years. Adam Dafoe is an incredible physiotherapist and has given me multiple therapies (stretches, deep tissue relief, muscle building exercise, intra-muscular stimulation, and laser to name a few) to help relieve my pain. I also like the online self-check videos SOS Physiotherapy provides to help you remember the exercise to do (because in times of stress it is easy to forget). I have also been treated by John a few times and have received awesome treatment as well. Being immunocompromised, I have felt comfortable with the safety protocol in place. I have been able to bike 50 km. Yippee. Thank you SOS Physiotherapy.

I saw Dr. Rachel Goldsworthy for chiropractic care at her previous clinic and she was kind, compassionate and helped me recover from numerous injuries! I highly recommend her for any issue you may have. If she can't help you (I'd be surprised), she'll make sure you get to someone who can!

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!

Ryan and the entire staff are great. If I ever need physio again, it will definitely be with Ryan.
