Pierre Zumkley
A graduate of the Melbourne University’s Doctor of Physiotherapy program, Pierre started with Beleura in 2016. A former competitive powerlifter, Pierre’s passion for exercise and strength based rehabilitation sees him well versed in the treatment of lower back and lifting-based injuries.
Pierre’s enthusiasm also extends to group and individual pilates and exercise classes. This has allowed him to effectively aid participants at all levels of fitness or injury, to effectively reduce their pain, improve strength and most importantly improve their bodies’ capabilities.
