His commitment to care extends beyond the clinic. Mayur serves as Chair of the Orthopedic Division Manitoba and Rural & Remote Chair of the Manitoba Physiotherapy Association, reflecting his dedication to the profession and to communities across the province.

For people seeking physiotherapy in St. James and the Polo Park area of Winnipeg, Mayur’s approach connects research with individual needs. He values patient education, early intervention and rehabilitation that considers each person’s goals, daily activities and community.
