Muhammad Zain – Physiotherapist - Physio Direct NZ

Muhammad Zain – Physiotherapist

With over 7 years as the Head Practitioner and Physical Therapist at Shifa International Hospital, I have gained extensive experience in managing complex cases and leading a dedicated team of healthcare professionals. My role involved not only providing high-quality patient care but also developing treatment protocols and enhancing service delivery.

In addition to my hospital experience, I own a private clinic in Pakistan, where I focus on personalized rehabilitation and wellness strategies. This dual experience has enriched my clinical skills and allowed me to stay at the forefront of physiotherapy practices.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy hunting, geocaching, and cooking. Hunting connects me with nature, while geocaching offers fun outdoor exploration. Cooking allows me to experiment with flavours and create nourishing meals. These hobbies enrich my life and enhance my focus and determination, which I bring into my practice to support my patients’ health and recovery.
