Personalized, evidence-informed physiotherapy and rehabilitation — helping you move through pain and back to confident, everyday motion.
“
Every recovery journey is different. My approach combines careful assessment, hands-on treatment and personalized rehabilitation to help each patient return to confident movement.
Experienced, hands-on care built around your recovery
Dr. Shazia Balouch is a Lead Physiotherapist with more than ten years of clinical experience across the United Arab Emirates. She holds a Master of Physical Therapy (MSK) and a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Gulf Medical University, Ajman, and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) from the University of Montana, USA.
Her clinical approach begins with a thorough, individualized assessment — understanding not just where the pain is, but why it developed and how it affects daily life. From there, treatment is built around the person: a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercise, and honest communication about what recovery realistically looks like.
Over her career she has worked across government health services, specialist rehabilitation centers and private practice, treating patients across musculoskeletal, neurological, pediatric, geriatric and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Patients consistently describe her as attentive, patient and precise — someone who listens carefully before she treats.
Who she helps
Adults and older patients recovering from injury, surgery, chronic pain, or age-related mobility changes — as well as pediatric patients needing developmental or neurological support.
Her clinical approach
Careful functional assessment, individualized care planning, and a combination of manual therapy and structured rehabilitation — not a one-size-fits-all program.
Why patients trust her
A decade of UAE clinical experience, continuous advanced training, and a communication style patients describe as genuinely attentive and reassuring.
