Return-to-Play & On-Field Rehabilitation
Progressive loading and sport-specific protocols that bridge clinic and pitch, designed for safe and timely return to competition.
Head of Physiotherapy · Al-Ittihad FC
Sports physiotherapist with 20+ years of international experience in elite football. Specialized in return-to-play, rehabilitation model design, and multidisciplinary medical leadership.
About
I'm a sports physiotherapist specialized in elite football rehabilitation. For over twenty years I've led medical departments at top-tier clubs across Spain, Russia, and Saudi Arabia — designing modern return-to-play protocols, coordinating multidisciplinary medical teams, and bringing injured players back to competition safely and on time.
My approach combines evidence-based manual therapy, on-field rehabilitation, and close collaboration with medical imaging specialists (MSK ultrasonography) and performance coaches. Every program is built around one principle: the athlete returns stronger than before the injury, not just healed.
