She is passionate about endorsing physical activity as an essential element of life and healthy living. Her role in assessing the needs and goals of each client and prescribing effecting exercise is enhanced by providing education and encouragement to ensure the achievement of the best outcomes. Anabela’s areas of expertise include cardiovascular disease (prevention and rehabilitation), diabetes, metabolic disorders, obesity, immune and rheumatologic diseases, falls prevention and frailty, children’s problems (ADHD, lack of physical activity, poor muscle tone, balance issues), and mental health (e.g.: anxiety, stress, depression).

Dr. Mir’s interest in osteopathy stems from a passion for helping others and a fascination with how our bodies heal. He specialises in managing pain and restricted function through techniques like muscle soft-tissue work, joint mobilisation, stretching, and dry needling, as well as handling conditions ranging from headaches and migraines to injuries and chronic pain. He believes in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. his approach integrates modern and traditional healthcare philosophies, emphasising non-invasive therapies to support natural healing processes. Personalised plans are created based on each patient’s history, lifestyle, and body mechanics. “My patient-centred approach sets me apart. I take the time to understand each patient’s needs and tailor treatments, accordingly, empowering them with the knowledge and tools for active health management. The most rewarding aspect is seeing patients reclaim their lives from pain and dysfunction. Helping them get back to what they love and witnessing their joy drives my passion for osteopathy.”

Parinaz’ philosophy as a physiotherapist is focused on empowering clients through education. By helping them understand their injury or condition, as well as the factors that caused it, she enables them to actively participate in their own recovery process. She believes in increasing an individual’s capacity to handle greater physical loads, which plays a key role in injury prevention. Her approach to healthcare is centered around a client-focused, holistic model. Her areas of expertise include musculoskeletal conditions (acute and chronic), sports injuries, prehabilitation for joint replacement surgeries, post-operative rehabilitation, back and neck pain, joint and muscle pain, tendinopathy and tendon repair, arthritis management, and manual therapy techniques (e.g., joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy). “I have successfully helped clients recover from injuries, manage pain, and restore mobility through tailored treatment plans. My holistic approach combines manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and patient education to ensure long-term success and prevent re-injury. I also enjoy using Pilates-based exercises in prehab and rehab of clients, management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions and general strength and conditioning.”
