Jean McIlrath

Jean worked in physiotherapy for 39 years finishing her career with HTS in 2022. Officially retired from the profession, Jean continues to apply her wealth of knowledge acting as a mentor and guide to Tasha and the rest of the team.

Jean graduated from the University of Saskatchewan in 1981, receiving her bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy. She has never stopped learning or helping to apply that knowledge with everyone around her; spending time as an instructor with the U of M and many years of educating clients and their families both in the community and school settings. Jean loves the relational nature of physiotherapy; watching clients progress from childhood to later adulthood has enriched her career and made it incredibly fulfilling.

“I love the personal relationship I develop with the clients I work with. Assisting someone to achieve a motor goal is incredibly uplifting and rewarding.”

Outside of work, Jean has enjoyed an opportunity to help a Syrian refugee family integrate into their new lives in Winnipeg. She also loves to read and looks forward to babysitting her grand-dog, Leo.
