Student Life At SOS!
Out And About
As part of the Masters of Physical Therapy program at Western University, we have the opportunity to complete five 6-week clinical placements. I was lucky enough to be matched with SOS Physiotherapy for my third! I’m Carmen, a second-year student who was at the Elmira clinic in March and April. You might not recognize me without my boot - the Aircast boot I had to wear for 10 weeks post-achilles tear. If you’ve been at the Elmira location in the last few weeks, you might have seen me hobbling around, possibly mistaking me for a fellow patient. Not only did I receive a couple tips for my own recovery, I also learned plenty of new assessment and treatment techniques for various conditions from the neck down to the toes (literally). Getting to work with Elmira Physiotherapists, Melissa and Coco, has been one of the greatest learning experiences I’ve had in this program. I am very grateful to everyone at SOS Physiotherapy Elmira and especially to my patients, who have played an integral role by welcoming a student with patience and encouragement. I can’t wait to apply my new skills and knowledge to assist my patients in the future.
Back to my second home at Sauble Beach, located in beautiful Bruce County. Spring is here and the ice is finally melting out on Lake Huron. Hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather and is getting outside for some activity! If aching or stiff joints are preventing you from enjoying all spring has to offer, just give our clinic a call!

We had another great year at the Elmira Maple Syrup festival! The Flippin Physios were back in action at the pancake flipping event. You may recognize our “special guest,” fellow Physiotherapist Amy DeCorte! Amy recently moved back to London, but she is still part of our SOS family and we were happy to have her as part of our team this year. Even though we might not have made it to the finals, we still had a flippin’ good time! Got to start training for next year!
