Biography

Omar graduated from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2016 with a MSc in Physiotherapy while also playing on the University Men's basketball team. Originally from Toronto, Ontario, he obtained his Bachelors in Kinesiology degree from York University in 2014.

Omar has a passion for helping people and aims to get them back to their best physical and mental state. He believes in a holistic approach to health and rehabilitation through the means of exercise, education and manual therapy. Omar has done courses in acupuncture, dry needling and spinal manipulation with plans to pursue further education in manual therapy, concussion rehab and blood flow restriction training. He has a clinical interest in ACL prehab/rehab. He believes that the recovery process is a unique one - not just physically, but mentally as well. He believes that patients returning from ACL tears need a patient-centred rehabilitation program catered to each individual specifically.

In his free time, he loves to be around the game of basketball. He currently coaches in his free time, plays in men's leagues, and loves to work with athletes. He also plays a variety of different sports including volleyball and soccer.
