Registered Massage Therapist

Khalid brings a wealth of clinical knowledge to his massage therapy treatments. After working in acute health-care settings after graduating from medical school abroad, finishing his residency in trauma and general surgery in Baghdad, Iraq, then moving to the USA where he became a licensed first surgeon assistant, he spent twelve years participating in orthopaedic and sport medicine surgical procedures in teaching hospitals in Michigan.

As a registered massage therapist and a massage therapy clinical instructor, Khalid’s philosophy is that therapeutic massage should not follow “a cookie cutter” approach, instead it should be customized to focus on resolving a patient’s unique condition. He believes that massage therapy as an alternative medical modality is a great complement to conventional-traditional medicine.

Khalid has experience in assessing and treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions including, but not limited to, acute and chronic muscular injuries, joints sprains, impaired flexibility, post-surgical soft tissues adhesions, medically and surgically related lymphatic flow abnormalities, poor foot circulation, post-operative edematous swellings, temporomandibular dysfunctions (TMJD) and prenatal massage treatment.

When Khalid is not working, he spends his time running, working out, playing soccer and continued research.
