About
Dr. Giovanni Ventulini
Clinical kinesiologist · Fellow of Applied Functional Science
Giovanni applies exercise physiology, kinesiology, biomechanics, and Applied Functional Science® to help people get their movement back, build strength, and improve performance in life and in sport.
His work rests on understanding the body as a whole: how it moves, adapts, compensates, and meets the demands of daily life and sport. Rather than starting from set exercises or looking only at the area in difficulty, he works to understand the relationships that shape each person’s movement and turn them into individual strategies aimed at that person’s goals.
Gray Institute · United States
Training in America.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Sciences and a master’s degree in Preventive and Adapted Physical Activity Sciences. He worked for three years in a center dedicated to movement recovery and deepened his training in the United States through three mentorship programs of the Gray Institute, the American institute that founded Applied Functional Science. Among them GIFT, completed in 2024, and PlayCoachMate (PCM), completed in 2025.
He is currently taking part in the Gray Institute’s new Collaborate Plus program, together with about thirty professionals from around the world, to study the role of fascia in human movement.

My mission
To improve your life through movement.
I believe deeply in what I do. And I believe change takes shape when there is dedication, discipline, and a willingness to get involved. On both sides.
I choose to work with a small number of people so I can give each one time, attention, and everything I know. I would like this experience to show you something new about your body and leave you with tools you can use in everyday life.
I bring my guidance, my experience, and my presence. You bring your story, your participation, and your willingness to try. We do the work together.
- With discipline, but lightly.
- With a shared commitment, directed at you.
Because movement runs through everything you do: work, relationships, sport, time with the people you love. It is how you take part in your own life.
My mission is to help you live it with more trust in your body and more chances to do what matters to you.
Your life. Our commitment.
Things really are different here.
Here, movement goes to another level.
Every session is a chance to understand your body better and work toward concrete progress.
I have completed year-long programs of study in Applied Functional Science, and I keep specializing and learning.
Because quality work starts from deep knowledge, built over time.
No hidden costs.
A path with goals, content, and investment that are clear from the start.
I deliberately follow a limited number of people.
So I can give you time, attention, and continuity.
No stage lighting, loud music, or shiny mirrors.
The exclusive experience I offer is in the quality of the work and in the progress you carry into your life.
When necessary, I collaborate with the doctors and healthcare professionals who follow you.
To bring the movement work in line with their guidance.
Every step, rotation, and movement you make has a purpose.
Every proposal comes from your assessment and your goals.
I assess thoroughly to give your effort a direction.
I observe, check, and adapt the work to how your body responds.
In the environment we will create together, there is no noise to shout over.Here there is calm, attention, and room to breathe.A place where body and mind can catch their breath.
I guide you, at your pace.
No rankings. No pressure.Work done together, with attention and a clear purpose.
I believe in listening before loading.In progress you can feel.In movement that supports your life.Whether that is a golf swing, playing with your kids, or running again.
I take the science seriously and keep the mood easy.I speak in plain words.I laugh easily.And I truly care.
Because, to me, what matters is you.

I am a clinical kinesiologist: a professional figure recognised by Italian law (Art. 41, D.Lgs. 36/2021), and not a regulated healthcare profession. I work on movement — exercise, perception, habits — alongside whoever is looking after you medically, never instead of them. If you need a doctor, I’ll say so and point you to one.
