Integrated Rehabilitation with My Expert Physical Therapy Team
Your recovery doesn’t end in the operating room; it continues with a structured, results-driven rehabilitation program. That’s why I work hand-in-hand with a dedicated team of physical therapists who are part of my practice in Doha, Dubai, and Beirut. Each therapist is highly trained and experienced in orthopedic rehabilitation, and we share the same commitment to precision, communication, and patient-centered care.
Together, we design personalized recovery plans based on your surgery or condition, using evidence-based protocols and state-of-the-art rehabilitation technology. This close collaboration ensures that every phase of your recovery — from early mobilization to strength and functional training — is handled with the same attention to detail and medical insight that guided your diagnosis and treatment.
By working as one cohesive unit, we significantly reduce recovery time, optimize functional outcomes, and help you get back to your normal life safely, efficiently, and with lasting results.
