Dr Harry (Experienced Senior Physiotherapist)
Hany (or “Harry” as he is known to everyone at Elwood & Elsternwick clinics) is our Senior Experienced Physiotherapist.
Harry studied the Bachelor of Physiotherapy at Charles Sturt University in NSW and graduated with Distinction—90 %—at the top of his class. He is originally a veterinarian doctor by background, graduating from Cairo University in Egypt in 2003 and is still registered as such.
Harry’s passion for physiotherapy actually arose from him loving sports, as he treated thousands of people with various sports injuries including ankle, foot, knees, hips, shoulders, neck, and back injuries for over 5 years. Therefore, he was consulted by various sporting clubs in Adelaide such as Rugby, Soccer, Australian Football, Tennis, Hockey, and has also participated in many sports events such as the Australian Master Games in Adelaide in 2015.
Harry uses different physiotherapy techniques and modalities including Therapeutic massage, Interferential therapy, Joint mobilisations and manipulations, Myofascial release, Ultrasound, TENs, Paraffin Therapy, Exercise prescription, Gait aid prescription, and advanced Dry needling. He believes that overall well-being results from a combination of physical hands-on therapy, clinical exercise, and empowering his patients towards self-management through education.
Harry was appointed by the University of South Australia to work as a staff Anatomy tutor for the first-year students of various disciplines in 2015. It is this passion for both anatomy and physiology which inspires Harry to share his knowledge in these fields with his patients to assist them in better understanding their body conditions and aiding their recovery.
Throughout his working career, Harry has received very positive feedback and has been awarded a star award in one of the aged care facilities he worked in. This was a result of him being able to walk a patient who was previously chair-bound for six months.
As with all hardworking and dedicated physiotherapists, Harry also takes the time outside of his work for some well-deserved rest and recreation! In his spare time, he enjoys playing his piano, musical composition, playing chess, and spending time with his family.
Harry only consults with male patients.
