Florideo Passarelli

Florideo is a physical therapist by profession, a weightlifter by passion, and a proud connoisseur of Wendy’s. He helps people move better, feel stronger, and reclaim their bodies from the clutches of desk chairs and poor posture, all without boring them to death in the process. He graduated from Oakland University with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2024. Prior to that he received his Bachelor’s degree in Wellness, Health Promotion, and Injury Prevention with a focus in Exercise Science from Oakland University as well.

When he’s not fixing backs, knees, or shoulders, he’s either lifting heavy things for fun, diving into a good book, watching movies like he’s training for an Oscar, or hunting down his next cheat meal. Spoiler: it’s probably a Wendy’s Biggie Bag (yes, all five bucks of delicious, greasy greatness).

Deo got into physical therapy because he loves understanding how the human body works, and then figuring out how to fix it when it doesn’t. His approach to physical therapy is simple: real science, personalized care, and just enough humor to distract patients from that last set of lunges. Whether someone is rehabbing an injury or just tired of sounding like a bag of microwave popcorn when they move, he’s got them covered.

His goal is to help others reach theirs, then maybe grab some Wendy’s afterward.
