SOS Physiotherapy

After a devastating knee injury I was sure my mobility was to be forever diminished. How could I go on with such a limpy-gimp-leg? My first thought was to pursue a surgical solution, but I knew surgery alone wouldn’t be enough. I felt helplessly crippled, trapped within my own immobility. I needed a lifeline. So I sent an SOS into the google and clicked “I’m Feeling Lucky”. To my surprise, my luck had not run out yet. SOS Physiotherapy – Since 1991; the year I was born. I knew it was a sign. And the Elmira location was only a few kilometers away, easily reachable by car or horse. Within the year, I was not only back to full mobility, but returned to sport, despite suffering what would have once been considered a “career ending injury”. I was excited to have finally made my return to soccer, but even more excited that I already knew where to get physio when I promptly ruptured my Achilles tendon. After a long wait, I was finally able to have Achilles reconstructive surgery. I haven’t made any appointments yet, but will be calling again soon!

I just recently graduated from SOS - thank you Lindsey! I started going to SOS last May, after I discovered pain in my hip. My Physiotherapist was Lindsey Mortimer. Lindsey was thorough in reviewing my health history and connected some previous injuries to my hip (ankle, knee, etc.). We started treatment and set some goals with some treatment and exercises. With consistent treatment and following her exercises and return to run" plan

I went here and was helped by Chad for shoulder, neck, and heel issues. The care was great and effective all the way through. Chad was very professional and communicated each step of my recovery in an understandable way. Great clinic.The volunteers are also very friendly.

I couldn't be happier with the help and support I received from Melissa. She used her knowledge and skills to make an individualized treatment plan that really helped me improve. She communicated efficiently with my doctor and was an advocate for me to request further testing when needed. She's flexible with her schedule and fit me in for a same day appointment when I called for assistance. She's on time, professional and truly a caring person. Thank you, Melissa!

I reached out to SOS Physiotherapy after suffering a MCL sprain and began my treatments with Melissa and then Lindsey Mortimer was my therapist. She definitely helped me get back on my feet and provided professional treatment both at the clinic and suggested several exercises to do at home between appointments. After my appointments were done, I emailed Lindsey with some questions and she responded quickly. She really goes above and beyond and truly cares about her patients. The staff are so friendly and I definitely would not hesitate to recommend SOS Physiotherapy to my family and friends. Thank you for your excellent care!

I've had 2 different injuries treated at SOS. Highly recommend. Very professional, thorough and caring. Lindsey M is fantastic! Anyone treated by Lindsey should have complete confidence in her skills and passion for healing.

My wife and I attended a workshop about rotator cuff injuries on Saturday. Chad and Ryan did an excellent presentation giving all the important facts about the rotator cuff, injuries and ways to treat problems. They were very professional, friendly and informative! They answered all of our questions. This organisation is highly recomended.

Lindsey Mortimer is awesome!!! She helped with pelvic pain, back pain and to recover from my surgery. Her pilates exercises were nice and easy to do, it took only 10 minutes of my day and they really helped!! I did pelvic floor physiotherapy for a long time and did not feel any improvement. With Lindsey, after a short period of time I started to see some improvements. I am feeling great now! Really recommend her!!

I came to SOS in May with shoulder pain. Lindsay was patient and careful in assessing and treating me, while thorough in explaining things to me AND a physiotherapy student in training. She was extra knowledgable about my hypermobility (a major trust boost!). She showed empathy amd professionalism through the journey of a few months and making suggestions for next steps in my care. She was key to my diagnosis of a labral tear (and fraying). I would recommend Lindsay to anyone seeking physio who is also keen to understand their injury and how the body works.thanks Lindsay
