Diego Lloyd Racho

Who is Diego?

I successfully completed my physiotherapy equivalency program at McGill University, Canada, following my graduation with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute in the Philippines. I value an active, balanced lifestyle and believe movement plays a vital role in overall well-being. Outside of work, I train for half marathons and regularly participate in races, which helps shape my disciplined and goal-oriented approach. I also enjoy basketball and cycling, activities that continue to fuel my passion for staying active and continuously improving. 

Training and professional skills

While studying at McGill, I completed internships at Concordia Sports Physio, where I worked with orthopedic clients, at St. Mary’s Hospital, assisting with acute care and post-surgery patients, and at Mt. Sinai Hospital, treating LPA “Lits de soins post-aigus” patients and providing rehabilitation for a predominantly geriatric population.

Back in my college days in the Philippines, I proudly represented my department on the court, clinching multiple championship victories along the way. In addition to my collegiate basketball career, I seized opportunities to train athletes during my internships, honing my skills in helping them excel in their respective sports. Through these experiences, I gained valuable insights and techniques to enhance athletic performance and support athletes in reaching their full potential.
