Javier Diaz

Javier graduated from Western University in 2016 with an Honours Specialization in Health Sciences, then completed his Master's in physiotherapy at McMaster University in 2018. Since then he has added post-graduate courses in acupuncture, cervical and low back assessment, shoulder treatment, soft tissue release and advanced mobilization techniques.

Acupuncture is a particular focus of his practice. He graduated from McMaster University's Medical Acupuncture Program in 2019, holds certification with the Canadian Academy of Medical Acupuncture, and now tutors in that program himself.

Thousands of clinical hours sit behind the way he works, along with more than a decade spent shadowing healthcare professionals before he qualified. He has also rehabilitated several injuries of his own, so when he explains what the coming weeks may ask of you, he's describing work he has done. His plans are built around the goals the person in front of him wants to get back to. Away from the clinic he plays basketball, powerlifts (second place in two competitions) and hikes with his girlfriend and their dog.
