Today marks the 5th anniversary of ECPT! Here’s a little about our story: we met as classmates in 2002 and graduated together in 2005. After graduation, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to work together at two different private Physiotherapy clinics. We had many discussions about how we would operate our own clinic "someday." We wanted to offer more one-on-one time with our clients in a bright, welcoming and well-designed space. After several years of careful planni...ng, we opened the doors of our dream hand to shoulder Physiotherapy clinic on November 3, 2015. Today, we have an amazing team of Physiotherapists, administrative and support staff. We are beyond thankful for each and every client who has walked through the doors of ECPT. We appreciate your confidence and trust in us! #manitoba #winnipeg #physiotherapy #physio #certifiedhandtherapist #cht #shoulder #elbow #wrist #hand #thumb #finger #injury #surgery #rehabilitation

ECPT will be closed on Monday, September 7 in observance of Labour Day. As always, we are grateful for all the individuals who will be working over the long weekend to provide essential services.

Our Receptionist and Physiotherapy Aide Amanda Shuster completed her last shift before maternity leave yesterday. We cant wait to see baby pictures! . . . #physio #physiotherapy #cht #certifiedhandtherapist #winnipeg #manitoba #maternityleave

ECPT co-owners Krista Paulson and Leah Bima completed a DIY 10km race this morning. Both had been training for spring/summer races which all ended up being canceled due to necessary COVID-19 precautions. Alas, they printed their own medals, designed their own course, and ran just the two of them. A memorable race, indeed. Special thanks to @wfpsrun for providing water to runners in Assiniboine Park this morning! . . . #covid19 #inthistogether #hopeisnotcancelled #runningcommunity #physio #physiotherapy #certifiedhandtherapist #cht #winnipeg #manitoba
