Coach/Author/Speaker Bio

I’ve been a Board-Certified Physiotherapist and bodyworker for over 25 years. Through my coaching, books, keynotes, trainings, and corporate wellness programs, I use custom techniques to allow individuals to discover their reactions to, and relationships with change, creating positive resilience physically, mentally, and emotionally for greater productivity and results.

Heathcare Bio

Julie Smith is an alignment-based physiotherapist. Over the past 3 decades, she has pursued any and all knowledge, conducting research and experiencing both successes and failures. Her successes helped her know that something worked; however, the insights that came from her failures helped her truly understand why things worked and how to maintain the changes that occurred.

Through those successes—and mostly the failures—she has developed a specialized way to treat her neck and other injuries along the way.

Now, instead of being in pain, she is pain-free a significant amount of the time. Instead of not being able to move her neck, she has freedom of movement in all her joints. And instead of being afraid of activity, she maintains a highly active lifestyle.

For her, it was her neck; for you, it may be your shoulder or knee.

She wants to help as many people as possible use their body when and how they want. She believes everyone, including you, can manage pain and take control of their body.

She created the Pain Bending Game so people can learn to help themselves. As part of the game, she does presentations like this one, offers coaching programs, online courses, books, cards, and is currently developing an app. Some of the prizes in the drawing will include these game pieces.

Your Body IS Your Workstation.

We’ve all heard of ergonomics and often associate it with things like monitor height, office chairs, or car seats. But true ergonomics goes beyond just equipment—it’s about positioning your body correctly for every activity you do. Drawing from years of experience, Julie has developed simple, fun, and effective techniques to turn your body into its own ergonomic workstation. Whether you're working at a desk, playing a sport, getting on the floor with your kids, or assisting an elderly family member, each task has unique physical demands. By applying these methods, you can prevent pain and injuries, allowing you to move with ease and live your best life.
