dr. julian penaranda, pt, dpt
a doctor of physical therapy who trains basketball players.
how you move shapes what you work on.
julian is a doctor of physical therapy, so the work starts from how your body actually moves.
what you can hold, what you cannot yet, and what you are working around — it all shapes the plan.
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.
only the work that matters: fundamentals. players are put through their perceived weaknesses, then made to hold up against live defense and real game situations.
something has been nagging, or you’re back from time off and tired of training around it — or 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.”

what an hour looks like
no guessing. every minute is planned before you walk in.
what you want to fix, what you have been working around, and what your body is doing about it. julian coaches with a clinician’s eye from the first rep, and the plan comes out of what he sees.
noticing a limitation is useless on its own. it gets 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.
