Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy restores mobility and reduces pain through evidence-based treatments. Our practitioners use manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities like electrotherapy to address musculoskeletal conditions. Patients receive personalized care plans targeting injuries, chronic pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation needs.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic services focus on musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders. Our chiropractor employs spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy, and therapeutic exercises to alleviate back pain, neck pain, and headaches while improving overall physical function and mobility.
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy addresses muscle tension and pain through targeted techniques. Our therapists use Swedish massage and deep tissue work to treat sports injuries, postural strain, and stress-related conditions while promoting circulation and relaxation.
Pelvic Health
Specialized pelvic health physiotherapy treats pelvic floor dysfunction in both men and women. Our practitioners address urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and postpartum recovery through manual therapy, exercise programs, and lifestyle modifications.

Dry needling targets myofascial trigger points to relieve muscle pain and tension. Our physiotherapists insert fine needles into affected areas to stimulate healing, improve circulation, and restore normal muscle function for chronic pain conditions.

SOS Belmont is truly a life saver! I dealt with some rather sporadic neck pain that made everyday tasks quite difficult when persistent. After coming to SOS Belmont and working with Christine, she was able to help treat my issues with care and attention and helped me regain pain-free mobility! The additonal excercizes and advice that Christine gave me really helped to equip me with the tools to further improve my condition from home. From start to finish, SOS Belmont made my treatment a positive experience. And now, my neck is pain-free! And if I have any future flare-ups, I now have the support

I had a great experience with SOS physiotherapy! I had Courtney and one of the students (unfortunately I forget his name) and they were both very kind and knowledgeable. Ive worked with other physiotherapist in the past but this was the best experience Ive had. I was able to get an appointment for the same day I called! Amazing service, I would definitely recommend!

Report
The assessment session was very thorough, taking time to ask about the issue, what I had tried myself, and other details before any treatment was started. Very attentive, very helpful follow up sessions. I appreciated the honesty that a particular approach might not work (for the issue I had) so I knew what to look out for/expect. Then, try something else. I was given appropriate exercise 'homework'. Do your homework because what you experience informs the next step. I got relief sooner than I expected. I highly recommend the SOS team.

They have a great team and a great place! Everyone was friendly and supportive. The clinic is a conformable, open, and bright place. I had sessions for 3 months with Ali. She is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk with (trust me, a good chat is quite important when you are worried expecting feeling pain). I have no words to thank you enough!
