Julian is a Registered Physiotherapist with a strong interest in movement, sports performance, and injury recovery. He completed his Master of Physical Therapy at Western University in London, Ontario after earning a B.Sc. in Kinesiology from McMaster University. His background includes treating a wide range of orthopedic and sports-related injuries, with a particular focus on ankles, knees, and shoulders in athletic populations!

He continues to play soccer and enjoys being active outdoors, including hiking and trail running.
