Nice to meet you, I'm Júlio Carvalho.
I hold a degree in Physiotherapy, a postgraduate qualification in Sports Physiotherapy and training in Osteopathy, the Mulligan Concept and Dry Needling. I spent three seasons with Portimonense SAD and coordinated teams at SC Farense and LAC Lagoa. Today I focus on exclusive home-visit care: one person, one plan, full attention.
