ABOUT PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession directed at evaluating, restoring and maintaining physical function and fitness.
Physiotherapy is an autonomous profession. We do not require a referral from a doctor to assess and treat you. Although you are not required to see a Doctor, Physiotherapists do work closely with physicians, sport medicine doctors as well as surgeons. We will communicate with your physician to ensure you receive the best treatment and investigations required to properly treat your injury/condition.
Physiotherapists are educated at the university level and base their practice on scientific evidence-based protocols.

TREVOR CHRISTIE, Physiotherapist
B.M.R., P.T., MCISc (manipulative therapy), FCAMPT (Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy), certified in Acupuncture.
Trevor graduated in 2007 from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelors Degree in Medical Rehabilitation, Physical Therapy. Since that time he has worked at Doug Christie Physiotherapy and Ste Anne Physiotherapy, In 2014 he moved to Lorette Physiotherapy, all of which are sister clinics.
Professionally, Trevor has focused his clinical work and his post-graduate courses on developing a high level of expertise in clinical reasoning and manual therapy skills. His thirst for knowledge and his desire to help everyone who comes to see him inspired him to enroll in a Clinical Masters program at the University of Western Ontario. He trained with a group of highly respected and educated clinicians and professors. In July 2014 he successfully completed this program and has joined a small group of accomplished Physical Therapists in Canada who have achieved the designation of a Masters in Clinical Sciences in Manipulative Therapy and is now an FCAMPT (Fellow of Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physiotherapy) therapist. This advanced training, coupled with his certification in acupuncture, give him plenty of tools to accompany his efforts to help everyone he sees reach their personal goals of treatment.
Trevor has now reached the point where he looks forward to supporting the profession of physiotherapy by offering his time through mentoring and teaching others who are keen to sharpen their physiotherapy skills or achieve similar advanced level certification. He is passionate in his belief that physiotherapy is a profession that has much to offer to the public in keeping people active, productive and healthy in our work, play, hobbies and in the so called ‘golden years’. He is committed to keeping the profession a respected intervention in health care so much so that he sits on the board of the Manitoba Physiotherapy Association as the co-chair of the Private Practice Division and he is the chair of the MPA negotiation committee that deals with the contracts between physiotherapists and the WCB and MPI.
Personally, Trevor is surrounded by Christie physiotherapists; his father Doug, his mother Cathy and his wife Hilary. Trevor and Hilary have a daughter named Quinn (2015), a son Reed (2017) who are now big sister and brother to their newest daughter Camryn (2020). As of now it is unknown whether they will join the profession.
In his now non-existent spare time Trevor would like to play hockey, golf, spongee, fish and socialize. He recently took on the task of being the GC of their new home build and says it was enjoyable but a lot of work. He likes going to the Jets games, playing fantasy football and going to the lake in the summer.

HEATHER JANZ - Office Manager
Heather started at our sister clinic in Lorette where she worked her way up to office manager. She's now assumed that position at both Lorette and Sainte Anne. We're lucky to have her as a 'replacement' for Murielle. Heather was born and raised in England and completed a course in secretarial management while living there. She came to Canada in 1994 and finally settled into her home in Landmark. She's meticulous and likes to get things just right which makes her perfect for the job. When not at work Heather loves home staging, interior design, refinishing furniture, spending time with her large extended family and reading.

MURIELLE JOHNSON - RETIRED Office Manager
We tried our best to convince her not to but she decided to retire anyways. Murielle was the Manager of this clinic since it first opened in 1994. She was the longest serving and most important member of our team. Although many people think she owned the clinic she did not but always managed it like she did. We're not sure there's a more recognizable face in the town of Sainte Anne and people will miss her at the clinic. She will miss all the wonderful interactions as well. Murielle is a long time resident as she was born, raised and continues to reside in Sainte Anne. The most rewarding aspect of her life is her family. Most of Murielle and her husband Charlies spare time is consumed by their four beautiful grandchildren along with her two sons and daughters in law. Otherwise, the lake, home, gardening and sewing keep her very active in her now extra time.
Luckily we've convinced Murielle, who likes gardening to take care of our flowers, so you may still occasionally see her around.
