Most of our physiotherapists have stayed with us for their full careers.  Here’s what they say about working at River East Physiotherapy:

We have always been able to recruit and surround ourselves with a great group of caring and passionate individuals.  It makes our work environment a fun and exciting place to be.  It’s also a very clean, efficient, and extremely well-organized facility.” – Don Charbonneau, BMR-PT
• “At River East, I have felt valued and supported right from the get-go! The mentorship offered to new clinicians went above and beyond my expectations and I have been encouraged to pursue any area of practice that piques my interest. The entire team – therapists & support staff – have been wonderful and make coming to work every day an absolute pleasure.” – Maddy Lengyel, MPT.
• “I appreciate having good people around to discuss challenging cases and to bounce ideas off.” – Julia McDaniels, BMR-PT

Living in Winnipeg:

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

 

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 number of parks and green space our city has to offer, and how close we are to nature.” – Julia McDaniels, BMR-PT
  • “I love the people and the sunshine!  Since I’m originally from B.C., and I lived in Vancouver for years, I can confidently say I’ll take sunshine and snow over constant grey skies any day.” – Peter Sidhu, MPT.
  • “The summers are amazing – it gets really hot and there are so many lakes and beaches nearby.  Like, white sand beaches and crystal clear water, I’m not kidding.  Winnipeg is so underrated – when I came here last summer I was blown away by the quality of theatre, dance, and live music.” – Andrea Grant, MScPT
  • “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 love Winnipeg culture – there are so many amazing restaurants, events, and beautiful areas to explore. I love the outdoors – the parks, both winter and summer trails, and the surrounding lakes.” – Maddy Lengyel, MPT
