Jordan's Principle
We are an approved physiotherapy provider with Jordan’s Principle. That means we are able to bill directly to the program in order to get children funding for physiotherapy. We are able to get parents in contact with the appropriate people to ensure a smooth process for everyone involved.
What is the Jordan's Principle and how does it help kids get physiotherapy services?
Jordan's Principle makes sure all First Nations children living in Canada can access the products, services and supports they need, when they need them — including physiotherapy!
Jordan's Principle is named in memory of Jordan River Anderson. He was a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba. Learn more about his story.

Physiotherapy expertise you can trust.
Caitlin Milljour’s (nee Trakalo) 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.
