We have a bustling practice and a team of friendly, dedicated professionals. We're proud to be physiotherapist-owned. We work hard to create an excellent patient experience - check out our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews, here and here, to see what our community is saying.  And our operations are highly organized – we have a full-time Clinic Manager, and we are continuously improving our systems and processes to support our therapists and our patients. 

Our Values

Our core values guide everything we do.  Here are some examples:

Excellent patient experience: From the patient's first phone call with reception, to when they complete their plan of care, we work hard to create an excellent patient experience. Strong customer service skills are a 'must' for everyone on our team.

Patient-centered care: When it comes to their therapy, the patient is the boss. Our role is to give the patient the information they need to make informed decisions about their own care. We reject the old model of hierarchical health care, in which the clinician knows best and gives one-way direction on how the patient should be treated. Rather, we collaborate with patients to design a plan of care to get them to their goals. 

Interprofessional communication: We communicate our patients' progress with the rest of their healthcare team, by phone or in writing. We're a physiotherapy-focused clinic. Given healthcare records management systems are not integrated in Manitoba, it takes thoughtful and careful work for us to get our patients' other healthcare providers (such as doctors and dentists) the information they need about our patients' progress.  

Teamwork:Our model is team-based. In our 35+ years experience, we've found we provide the best care as a diverse team of physiotherapists, massage therapists, physiotherapy assistants and administrative staff. Team-building and parties are important to us! We seek staff who love connecting with people.

Living in Winnipeg

Winnipeg is known for its arts & cultural activity – world-class theatre, dance, live music, nightlife, and a serious food scene.  Our clinics are located in North Kildonan, a calm neighbourhood with tree-lined streets and many charming homes.  Housing and the cost of living is remarkably affordable compared to other major Canadian cities. 

Here's what our physiotherapists say about Winnipeg:

• "I love that Winnipeg feels like a big village but it has all the services and amenities of a big city.  I also love the amount of parks and green space our city has to offer, and how close we are to nature." - Julia McDaniels, BMR-PT
• "I love that Winnipeg has such a great music scene." - Dana Bubenko, BMR-PT
• "I love the friendliness of Winnipeggers. I often get a ‘hello’ or ‘good morning’ from strangers, and it always makes me smile." - Kris Seo, MPT
• "I love how multicultural Winnipeg is, and I appreciate this most when trying out different restaurants throughout the city. Also, the Winnipeg Jets!" – Ryan Pang, MPT
• "I like the people here. When I see the words Friendly Manitoba on our vehicle license plates, I one-hundred percent agree with that – Manitobans are truly friendly. I feel at home here." - Yulia Agarkov, RMT
• "The summers are amazing – it gets really hot and there are so many lakes and beaches nearby. I mean white sand beaches and crystal clear water, I'm not exaggerating.  Winnipeg is so underrated.  When I came here in the summer of 2019 I was blown away by the quality and quantity of theatre, dance and live music." – Andrea Grant, MScPT
• "I love our walking and running trails for walking my dog, and all the friendly people in North Kildonan." - Lauren Martens, MPT
• "I love the people of Winnipeg and I love the lakes and outdoors – in both the summer and the winter." – Ryan Corkal, MPT, River East Physiotherapy alumnus
