dr. julian
a doctor of physical therapy who trains basketball players.
the screen comes before the ball.
dr. julian penaranda, PT, DPT · founder & head trainer
session 1 starts with a full movement quality screen — not a drill. mobility, stability, asymmetries, injury history. that assessment shapes every session after it.
julian connects movement intelligence, skill development, and basketball IQ into one program. he trains youth through adult competitors — and still competes himself.
no other trainer in las vegas starts here. that is the whole point.
best for
if any of these describe your player, book julian.
something has been nagging, or you’re returning from time off and don’t want to train around it forever.
the skill work isn’t landing because the body underneath it can’t hold the position yet.
adults managing load, recovery, and a body that no longer absorbs a bad week for free.
“he assessed my son’s movement before we ever touched a ball. found a hip issue we’d been training around for years. fixed it over two months — lateral quickness is completely different now.”

pick a date and time on the calendar. payment is collected at booking.
training 2–4× a month is where players move fastest. packages lower the per-session rate across any trainer.
what an hour looks like
no guessing. every minute is planned before you walk in.
mobility, stability, asymmetries, injury history. julian screens how you actually move and writes down what he finds. this is the session that changes the other five.
the screen is useless if it stays on paper. limitations get matched to the skill you’re chasing, so the work targets the thing actually holding it back.
footwork, finishing, timing, reads — every rep tied to a game situation, and every one of them coached in real time. you leave knowing why you did each thing.
what to do on the days you’re not here — and, just as often, what to stop doing. durability gets built alongside the skill, not after an injury.
packages
