Jonathan Giannopoulos
FOUNDER & SENIOR PHYSIOTHERAPIST
Clinical interests: Knee, ankle and foot conditions, concussion, osteoporosis
Collaboration. Empowerment. Encouragement.
These are what Jonathan believes are the foundations to a successful rehabilitation journey no matter the issue.
Collaboration. Jonathan will guide you through the goal setting process, so things are clear, achievable and realistic.
Empowerment. Support you in taking charge of your own rehab and how to remain in control and move forward to achieve your goals.
Encouragement. Rehabilitation is not always linear, there may be roadblocks and it may get tough, but Jonathan will be there to guide you through.
Jonathan is a co-founder of Valiant Physiotherapy and is passionate about what he does. Throughout his career he has supported many people through their rehab journey, helping them achieve their goals through a tailored rehab program that blends exercise, education and manual therapy. He is dedicated to working within his community and is currently the club physiotherapist at Northcote City Football Club.
In 2025, Jonathan spent the year working as a physiotherapist in Tokyo’s leading international health and fitness clinic, Club 360. Tokyo, being the global hub it is, allowed Jonathan to further his knowledge and experience, meeting many inspirational people. This furthered his passion to help people through exercise and rehab, inspiring him to start Valiant Physiotherapy upon his return to Melbourne.
Like any good Northcote local, Jonathan considers himself a coffee connoisseur. He loves to explore local cafes and support the local businesses. You may see him out walking his dog Panko, or riding his bike on a sunny day. He is also a die-hard Pies fan!

Listen. Assess. Guidance.

Assess. Everyone is unique and no two situations are the same. Zoran aims to work with you to gather detailed functional information that will set you up on the right path to recovery, performance, and freedom.
Guidance. Individual paths to recovery can take unexpected turns, but Zoran will be there to help navigate you back towards your destination.
