SOS Physiotherapy: Relieving Back, Hip & Knee Arthritis

Our Clinic to YOUR Community

SOS Volunteer Success Story

At SOS Physiotherapy we have encouraged volunteers to help learn and gain experience while assisting our patients in their recovery. Here is one example of a great rise to success of one of our valued volunteers!

Ryan & Reese are moving to London!

The Woolwich Wolfpack U13 boys is starting their season with a bang as they won their first tournament of the year at the 2018 Stratford Classic Tournament! The Wolfpack (club of young Nathaniel Woelk, back row, second from the left...) SOS Physiotherapy has sponsored the Wolfpack for the past two seasons and looks forward to supporting this up and coming team! Thanks Wolfpack for sporting those sharp looking “SOS” jerseys with pride and sportsmanship. Good Luck this season! SOS Physiotherapy is the lucky sponsor of several teams in the community and considers sponsorships once a month. If your youngster has a team looking for a sponsor send your child’s team bio and picture to jclay@sosphysiotherapy.ca and we’ll give it a look!

We’re happy to report that one of our volunteers has been accepted into Western’s Masters of Physical Therapy program and will be part of the graduating class of 2020! Ryan started with us in May 2016 and has volunteered over 250 hours of his time to helping our patients and taking care of the clinic. He made the choice to pursue his dream career two and a half years ago and enrolled in the University of Waterloo’s Kinesiology program in order to complete prerequisites, upgrade marks, and gain volunteer experience. Clearly, all that hard work paid off! Congratulations Ryan, we all wish you and Reese the best on your journey! “In the truest sense of the phrase, I could not have done this without the therapists at SOS! They have been so amazing and supportive. Thank you for everything!” - Ryan

Don’t Let Arthritis Pain Ruin Your Golf Game

Arthritis pain can be a nagging issue that can affect your golf game. Most commonly it will affect your knees and your low back as well as hips, wrists, and shoulder. Here are some tips to help you manage your symptoms. At left notice how Jon has his foot turned out slightly. This allows him to fully turn through the ball without putting as much stress on his knee, hips, and low back. Did someome say FULL turn? At right Jon is demonstrating a finish position with a full turn. This avoids “hanging back” which can put unnecessary stress on your back. Want to play golf for years to come? Follow these tips and help lower your arthritis pain while you lower your golf score.To see these tips in more detail, check out our video posts at youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu. be&v=1LjVB22m6QE or go to YouTube.com and Search “SOS Golf Tip” to find the instructional video.
