Sofia Saakova

Sofia graduated from the Physiotherapy Technology program at Dawson College in 2020. 

Throughout her studies, she experienced working with a diverse clientele and age group through treatment and volunteer work. She participated in several volunteering trips organized by the McGill Outreach Program. In the program, she took part in presenting the role of a Physiotherapist to high school students as well as participate in fall-prevention presentations and activities for seniors in the Eastern Townships. 

In her clinical placements, she had an opportunity to get experience in various fields like orthopedic, geriatric, neurology, and rehabilitation. She then became particularly passionate in the orthopedic field, and, inspired by one of her teachers, the Mckenzie approach to treatment. 

 Sofia led group exercise classes and animated a variety of recreational activities at her previous place of work as well. 

Her passion in leading an active lifestyle is expressed through Yoga and dancing.
