Giuseppe has completed his post-secondary education entirely in Italy, first at the University of Cassino where in 2008 he obtained his first B.Sc. in Physical and Sport Activities, then at University of Rome “La Sapienza”, where in 2012 he achieved his second B.Sc. in Physiotherapy. After moving to Canada, he completed the assessment of education and became licensed to practice in Alberta in 2021.

During his years of practice, he believed that the real key to success in physiotherapy is a solid and trustful relationship between the therapist and their patients and to these days he is still driven by the same belief. His rehabilitative approach is based on the idea that full recovery can only be achieved when the patient is aware of their condition and becomes therefore an active character of the restoration process. Giuseppe has worked in different rehabilitation settings throughout his career, ranging from semi-professional soccer teams, to the Stroke Unit of a specialized neurological hospital and home delivered physiotherapy. This allowed him to see a wide variety of patients and conditions: postural, traumatic, developmental, vestibular and neurological.

When he is not at the clinic, he loves spending time with his family and friends, often cooking Italian dishes for them. As well, he enjoys playing and watching soccer, cycling and hiking in the Rockies.
