Priyanka Khiroya
Physiotherapist
As a [PJ-based physiotherapist, Priyanka brings an active, person-first approach to care at Active Back to Health. She first discovered physiotherapy in high school through sports medicine, where she helped as a team trainer with common athletic injuries and taping, and it quickly became the career she wanted to pursue.
Education and Clinical Training
Priyanka completed her undergraduate degree at Mount Royal University in Health and Physical Education, then earned her Master’s in Physiotherapy at the University of Alberta. She has been practising as a physiotherapist for three years and joined the clinic to broaden her experience within an interdisciplinary team.
She has additional training in Functional Dry Needling and holds Level 2 certification, which allows her to use needling techniques across many areas of the body when clinically appropriate for the individual. Priyanka continues to build her skill set, with training in concussion relief, TMJ and vestibular therapy in progress.
What You Can Expect During an Appointment
Priyanka’s priority is understanding what matters most to each person and building trust and rapport with patients. She also emphasizes shared decision making and listening closely, noting, “I like to focus on client-centred care.” Her goal is to create a plan that fits the patient’s goals, then adjust it based on progress and feedback so the next steps feel clear and practical.
