Registered Physiotherapist, BSc Kin, MScPT
Zeinab holds a Master of Science in Physiotherapy from Brunel University London and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University. Her passion for movement and health began early through participation in multiple sports, particularly soccer and volleyball. She continued to play competitive volleyball during her graduate studies at the University of London, further deepening her appreciation for injury prevention and rehabilitation in sport.
Through her undergraduate studies, Zeinab gained hands-on clinical experience treating individuals with a range of orthopaedic and sports-related conditions. This practical foundation, combined with her own experiences as a university athlete, shaped her focus on sports rehabilitation within her physiotherapy practice.
In addition to her work in private practice, Zeinab also treats acute care patients at Vancouver General Hospital. Her work in the hospital setting has given her valuable experience with post-surgical rehabilitation and complex injuries. This expertise has made her a valuable member of the Kitsilano Physiotherapy team, where she leads the clinic’s hydrotherapy program. In this role, Zeinab incorporates aquatic therapy to support pain management, improve range of motion, and build strength in a low-impact environment.
Zeinab’s treatment philosophy is client-centered and collaborative, grounded in active listening and patient education. She strongly believes that understanding the rationale behind treatment empowers individuals to take ownership of their recovery. Her personalized approach ensures that each rehabilitation plan is aligned with the client’s goals, lifestyle, and functional needs.
Zeinab has a particular clinical interest in treating shoulder, knee, and back injuries, with extensive experience supporting athletes in the volleyball and soccer communities. Outside of the clinic, she remains active in both sports and can often be found on the volleyball court or soccer field.
