SOS: Building A Strong Core to Relieve Back Pain

My Patient Story

Student Life At SOS:

“I came in for PT because I had pretty significant hip pain. On my worst days, it was difficult to climb stairs and my sleep also suffered because of the pain. I started thinking that I was going to have to hump up my skates, and I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to stay active and play with my kids. Adam fixed me! The treatment I received and the strengthening exercises I was provided with have significantly reduced the frequency and severity of the pain. I expect further improvements as I continue to work on strengthening my core. Thanks, Adam, and thanks SOS Physiotherapy." - Steve MacNeil (May 2019) Out In The Community FREE BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA WORKSHOP

“Hey! My name is Henry and I will be the physiotherapy student at SOS in Elmira for the rest of the summer. I am currently in my last year of physiotherapy school at Western University and this will be my last placement as a student before I get a chance to work full-time in September! I am excited to refine and enhance my clinical abilities with Melissa, Coco and the rest of the team at SOS. I look forward to hearing about how I can help you relieve your pain and live a healthier, more fulfilling life. - Henry
