Description

Before graduating as a practicing therapist, JF knew that he had to make a difference in his future profession. With a strong passion for his career choice, as well as a true belief in what physiotherapy can bring to those in need, he has proudly integrated his philosophy into Pure Lifestyle. JF practices an ‘off-the-grid’ type of therapy that only uses heat, ice and acupuncture as modalities when deemed necessary. All the methods of intervention revolve around educating clients, hands-on skills, and tailored therapeutic exercise applications.
