After a marathon training injury left me sidelined, Julie helped me recover and get back to running. Her knowledge of athletic injuries and rehabilitation techniques is impressive. She takes time to explain everything and provides great self-care tips.

Very knowledgeable therapist who really understands athletes' needs. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is sometimes appointment availability can be limited - but that's because she's so good! Worth the wait though.

Found Julie through a friend's recommendation for my cycling-related back pain. She identified issues with my posture and gave me specific exercises to help. Three sessions in and I'm already feeling much better. Highly professional and effective treatment.
