Julio Garcia-Ortiz empathizes with the hardships of being injured, with his own experiences of injuries from wrestling and football in High School. Julio set a course to explore the health and wellness field. In 2018, he graduated from the University at Albany with a Bachelor of Science in both Human Biology and Sociology, as well as interned at various Physical Therapy inpatient and outpatient clinics, worked many summers at a sport-specific sleepaway camp, and volunteered at an after-school program. While working in a Physical Therapy clinic for a year and a half after college, Julio received a certification to become a Human Foundations Practitioner. Which entails the use of corrective exercise techniques and dynamic movements to correct postural distortions, such as scoliosis, and help people move better in a pain free manner. He uses his current knowledge at REP Athletics to help people of all ages understand how injuries come about, how to ease it in an integrative manner, achieve health goals that were previously out of reach, and build the strength needed to live a life full of confidence and without the fear of injury.
