Shahbaz Nawaz Ansari

Senior Physiotherapist And Head Of Quality & Projects

contact details

Introduction

A Senior and Specialist Musculoskeletal Disorders and Sports Physiotherapist with more than 18 years of clinical experience, including 13 years in the UAE. He previously worked with the Canadian Medical Center for 8 years and Harley Street Medical Center for 5 years before joining Adria Medical Center, Abu Dhabi.

He is qualified, certified and holds a special interest in Musculoskeletal Disorders, Sports and Exercise Medicine, Orthopedic and Spinal Manual Therapy, Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology and Biomechanics, Dry Needling, Electro Acupuncture, Football Medicine, IASTM, Schroth 3-Dimensional Scoliosis Therapy, Gait Analysis, Pedorthotist, Human Performance Analysis, Posture & Ergonomics, and Corporate Wellness and Training Planning.

He has the independent capability to assess, consult, diagnose and rehabilitate musculoskeletal and sports injury cases, and has worked with various national and international sports and athletic teams, treating elite-level players and athletes in both India and the UAE.

He also serves as a Scientific Peer Reviewer for international journals and has published several research and fitness articles.

His guiding philosophy is to treat the root cause of a condition rather than simply its symptoms — reflecting the view that “a physiotherapist has the brain of a scientist, the heart of a human and the hand of an artist.”
