About

Joseph is a Sports Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Running Related Injury Specialist. He graduated from a top-ranked university in the United Kingdom in 2006, before starting his career as a specialist MSK physiotherapist in the National Health Service (UK). Throughout this time, Joseph worked alongside some of the leading UK surgeons in the field of sports injury, including foot and ankle and upper limb specialties.

Throughout his career, Joseph has worked with numerous elite sportsmen and women across athletics, swimming, golf, horse racing, football and rugby.

His connection with sport and rehabilitation is also personal. He has represented his country in both swimming and athletics and competed at an international level for over 15 years. Today, Joseph continues to compete in triathlons and road races across the UAE and GCC.

Treatment approach

Joseph prides himself on putting himself in the patient’s shoes, understanding the demands of sports and fitness and the effects they can have on day-to-day life.

His favourite element of his work is “simplifying the non-simple” and getting to the root cause of dysfunction and pain through the assessment of his clients’ fundamental movement patterns.

He believes that “The body does best what it does the most, so get moving.”
