Julian Hayes is a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Pain Science Specialist with a focus on neuro-rehabilitation and ergonomics. He creates evidence-based recovery programs for chronic pain sufferers and individuals recovering from orthopedic surgery.
Dr. Hayes has spent over a decade working in sports medicine clinics and pain management centers, treating everything from acute athletic injuries to complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). His philosophy centers on "movement as medicine," utilizing graded motor imagery and nervous system downregulation techniques to break the cycle of chronic pain. He is also a certified ergonomic consultant, advising corporations on workplace injury prevention and posture correction. Julian challenges the "no pain, no gain" mentality, advocating instead for active recovery and functional mobility that respects the body's healing timelines. He provides detailed, anatomical explanations to help patients understand why they hurt and how to heal.
