Julian Stamer, MScPT
Physiotherapist
Julian is a graduate of the Master of Science in Physical Therapy program at the University of Alberta. His path to physiotherapy was not a straight line: after earning a Bachelor of Arts and spending several years in an office career, he realized he wanted to work more directly with people and help them move, recover, and thrive. That decision led him to physiotherapy, where he now combines his love of exercise and education with a genuine passion for supporting patients through their rehabilitation journey.
