Star Students At SOS
Mentoring Corner
The physiotherapists at SOS Physiotherapy are dedicated to learning and helping each other hone their skills to enable their patients to get the best outcomes possible. They get together weekly to practice their hands-on skills and share ideas, all in an effort to improve the overall care for their patients. Here’s what they’ve been working on to get you better faster. Student Physiotherapist Kristen Bolivar from Western University is working over Clinical Instructor Stephen "this feels awesome" Hogan. This technique is used frequently by all our therapists to mobilize C6 on C7 to help with neck pain and stiffness...wait, WHAT? That's physio speak for moving the bottom two vertebrae on your neck. By performing this mobilization, Kristen is helping Steve with the stiffness that comes from long days at the computer and that "hump" that can show up at the base of your neck. Think your posture is causing you to stiffen up? Do you feel that your back might be rounding out to something akin to Quasimodo? All of our therapists practice their skills regularly and have the ability to straighten you out and have you walking tall and feeling great. Don't wait any longer. Give us a call and use the New Year to create a new YOU!
Sandro Cestra Sandro is a second year student in Western's Masters of Physical Therapy program and will be graduating in 2019. This is his second clinical placement and he has spent the past 6 weeks with us at SOS Elmira. He will be returning to school in the new year with a brand new set of tricks to wow his classmates. Since the beginning of November he has been learning from our Elmira Physiotherapists (Amy and Melissa), where he has been able to develop his manual therapy skills and knowledge base. It has been quite an educational experience for him, and he hopes to take these skills forward into practice with him once he graduates. "SOS has been such great place to learn. The clinic is just full of wonderful people who just want to help people get better, and they have been extremely helpful in facilitating my learning and making me a better clinician. Thank you very much SOS!" - Sandro
