JJ AQUINO

JJ graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy from the Australian Catholic University and a Master of Physiotherapy from the University of Sydney. He now works as a Physiotherapist in private practice, treating the general population alongside athletes and active adults across AFL, basketball, endurance running, Hyrox, and general gym training.
