About C.T. Physiotherapy

Meet Caitlin. Caitlin Trakalo’s journey to becoming a physiotherapist started long before she started her Master’s of Physical Therapy degree at the University of Manitoba. In 2008, she was in a devastating quad accident in Corfu, Greece where she broke both of her ankles. The next 4 years involved 4 surgeries to both of her ankles, and extensive physiotherapy. Presently, there are still aches and pains that she has to live with, but she uses her education and positive attitude to ensure the best quality life is had!

Her experiences with being at the lowest low, and successfully overcoming all obstacles provides a very unique and special treatment approach. Outside of her physiotherapy practice, Caitlin enjoys travel, cooking, gardening, photography, skiing and snowboarding.

Meet Jenna. Jenna was raised in the Northern Interlake in the small town of St. Martin. She attended high school right here in town at ACS graduating in 2005.

From a young age, Jenna knew she wanted to have a profession in healthcare. After seeing a physiotherapist for sports injuries in high school and then doing some soul searching in University, it became clear that physiotherapy was the profession she was looking for.

Jenna graduated from University of Manitoba with her Bachelor of Medical Rehabilitation in Physiotherapy in 2010. Since then she has worked in both public and private healthcare settings and has gained a lot of valuable experience from both. Jenna holds the strong belief that you should always continue to learn and therefore has taken various courses over the years.

In 2018 Jenna realized her strong passion for pelvic floor rehabilitation and since then has completed levels 1, 2 and 3 with Pelvic Health Solutions. She is particularly passionate about pre and postnatal care and considers herself a “birth junkie”. Most recently she has completed a Labour and Delivery course to further her knowledge in pre and postnatal care as well as the option to attend births for support.

Jenna deeply values the importance of truly listening to her patients and their goals and giving them the education and methods to become independent. You can often hear her saying “I am your guide”. Other favourite quotes of hers include “motion is lotion for your joints”, “your best posture is your next posture” and “all or something”.

Meghan DeFoort grew up in Inwood MB. She received her Diploma in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Red River College in 2008, and worked in the hospitality industry for 13 years.

Meghan decided to embark on an new career path and joined the team at CT Physiotherapy in October 2019 and hasn't looked back. Every day brings a new learning experience and keeps her on her toes!

In her free time Meghan enjoys reading, cooking, listening to great podcasts, and spending as much time at the lake as possible from April to October.
