Physiotherapy
Aaya Hakeem
Senior Physiotherapist
Primary Location
Northern Suburbs, Melbourne
I am a physiotherapist who works with adults on managing pain, increasing strength and improving movement. I have particular experience in chronic pain management and falls prevention. I focus on understanding the priorities of my patient and then tailoring our management plan accordingly to address their goals.
I have had a keen interest in engineering and healthcare since a young age, and physiotherapy seemed to me the perfect marriage of those two interests. The best part about being a physio is getting people moving again with less pain and more confidence.
