First Gen Physical Therapy
Hello, I’m Dr. Julian Richards, and I’m thrilled to share my story with you. I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2012 from the University of Miami, and I’m to proud to say, “Go Canes!” While attending Physical therapy school, I became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength Conditioning Association. Prior to my post-graduate education, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Health Services Administration at the University of Central Florida, and I am equally proud to say, “Go Knights!”
My passion for health, wellness, exercise, fitness, training, and anything that requires movement started at a young age. Watching my father exercise when I was younger inspired me to commit to making my own personal health, wellness, and fitness a priority. Although I competed in several sports throughout my childhood, it wasn’t until I found folkstyle wrestling that I realized the power and effects of disciplined training. I pursued this throughout my high school career, and while I did not pursue wrestling beyond high school, the lessons I learned about discipline, hard work, and perseverance have stayed with me throughout my life.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy & Certified Strength Coach, I’m passionate about helping people achieve their health and wellness goals. I believe that movement is medicine, and my personal mission is to help those I serve move better, feel better, and live better.
In addition to my work as a physical therapist, I’m also a husband and father of three amazing kids. When I’m not working, you can usually find me spending time with my family, working out, playing soccer or enjoying the great outdoors. I’m excited to connect with you and help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
