Meet Our Team in Yorkton, Saskatchewan

Jannalee is your person if you want an active approach to your care — especially if you feel like you've tried everything, or you're ready to take your recovery to the next level. She's the owner of Jannalee Physiotherapy, and where she really lights up is treating feet, shoulders, and concussions. Sore feet are genuinely debilitating — you're on them all day — and they're your foundation, so knee or hip pain often traces right back to the foot. (That's the movement detective in her: she looks past where it hurts to find what's actually driving it.) Concussions are close to her heart precisely because they're hard — there's no x-ray or MRI to point at, so a big part of the work is helping you feel validated in what you're feeling, then getting creative with treatment. Expect to talk things through, bust a few myths, move through patterns like a squat, and get a little sweaty.

She grew up in athletics in rural Manitoba, competing from grassroots to the national level, and graduated from the University of Manitoba in 2013 with her Bachelor of Medical Rehabilitation – Physiotherapy. She volunteers her first aid and physiotherapy services to Yorkton Minor Football and the U18 hockey teams at Westland Arena, and recently completed her Certificate in Sports Physiotherapy. Outside the clinic she's at the gym on the regular and mom to two girls — the never-quite-tucked cereal box tab remains her nemesis. She speaks English, and fluent exhausted-mom.

Darshil is your person if you've been injured at work, been in a car accident, get dizzy, or just can't eat a carrot because your jaw hurts. He treats vertigo, BPPV, concussion, and TMJ (jaw) pain, and works with WCB and SGI injury claims. His sessions lean heavily on education — he wants to answer every "why" question you've got and tell you exactly what you should feel and where, so you leave with a real understanding of your injury and the tools to actively manage your own recovery. Darshil is an internationally trained physiotherapist with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, India (2016–2021), where he earned the Excellent Student Award in 2022 for his dedication to teaching and advancing the profession. He's since added specialized training in vestibular, concussion, and jaw-pain rehab. Before coming to Canada, he owned and worked as the consultant physiotherapist at an outpatient clinic in India. Outside the clinic, you'll find him playing carrom, cooking delicious Indian food, and living by a simple rule: be kind to everyone. He speaks English, Hindi, Gujarati, and Sanskrit.

Nidhi is your person if you're recovering from surgery, dealing with a shoulder problem, or just want a hands-on approach to help you move and feel better. She's an internationally trained physiotherapist with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Ahmedabad Institute of Medical Sciences, Gujarat University, India (2016–2021), and she came to the clinic with experience as a senior physical therapist in outpatient care — strength and conditioning, manual therapy, and myofascial release. She loves treating shoulder injuries, post-surgical patients, and muscle strains and other soft tissue injuries, helping people get their strength, mobility, and confidence back. Her style is hands-on and manual-therapy focused, paired with an exercise program built around you and plenty of education, so you actually understand what's happening in your recovery and why. Nidhi has also completed certifications including Basic Life Support (AHA guidelines), a Paediatric Physiotherapy certification, and the Physiotherapy Practice in the Canadian Health Care System certification. Outside of work, she's happiest with her family, staying active, and cooking Indian food for the people she loves. She speaks Gujarati, Hindi, and English.

Ayusha is your person if you're rebuilding after a fracture or surgery and want someone who's guided a lot of people through it. With more than four years treating fractures of the humerus, forearm, and femur — plus total knee replacement rehab — she knows how to bring a healing bone, and a nervous patient, safely back to full strength. She also has a soft spot for the stubborn stuff: gluteal tendinopathy, deep gluteal pain, proximal hamstring tendinopathy. That tendon work is personal — she's lived through it herself, so when she explains what flared it and how she got back to full function, it's not from a textbook. Her style is hands-on (joint mobilization, soft tissue release, dry needling, myofascial release) paired with a real knack for listening — she treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis, and she'll never rush your story. Outside the clinic, cooking is her therapy, and she loves a good conversation as much as a good treatment plan, whether it's about your recovery, geopolitics, or astronomy. She speaks English, Hindi, Nepali, and Bengali.

Jannalee and Joanne met at the local CrossFit gym — friends first, long before Joanne ever worked here. What started as helping with one small thing grew into a full role, and she's been part of the heart of the clinic for a couple of years now. She's Buff Muff trained and leads our pelvic floor and core support work through The Girls Club, along with our Movement Plan consults. The way Joanne helps is by listening — really learning who you are, not just what's hurting. Her favourite part of the job is watching the shift: she'll meet someone when they're frustrated and in pain, then see them a few weeks later looking like a weight's been lifted, moving better and a whole lot happier. She's a mom of two teen boys who now tower over her (she still hits the gym with them, but gave up trying to keep up), and she'll tell you her grey hairs are multiplying right alongside her eldest learning to drive. She also speaks British — which, she'll remind you, is a little different from English.

Karen is the friendly voice on the phone and the first face you'll see when you walk in. She welcomes everyone, sorts out your appointments, and is a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to the front-of-house side of the clinic — if you need something, she's usually the one who makes it happen. She's been part of the Jannalee Physiotherapy team for two and a half years, and she'll tell you it was a great move to land somewhere that genuinely values the people who work here. Outside the clinic, her favourite thing is time with her kids, grandkids, and fur babies.
