A Fact About Me
I ran my first half marathon when I was just 13 years old!

A Bit About Me

Yaser is a dedicated and compassionate physiotherapist with a broad clinical background spanning sports medicine, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, older adult care, and acute hospital settings. He completed his Master of Science in Physiotherapy (Pre-registration) at Brunel University of London and is registered with both the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).

Having grown up in Canada before continuing his physiotherapy career in the UK, Yaser brings an open, adaptable, and patient-centred approach to his work. His multicultural background, combined with his ability to speak English, French, and Arabic, allows him to connect with people from a wide range of backgrounds and create a supportive environment where patients feel listened to, respected, and understood.

Yaser has developed a particular interest in sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy through his pitch-side work in rugby. His role includes providing match-day medical support to rugby players, including acute injury assessment, first aid, taping and strapping, concussion awareness, and return-to-play guidance. Working in a fast-paced sporting environment has strengthened his ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and make practical clinical decisions while always prioritising player welfare.

Alongside his sporting experience, Yaser has completed a diverse range of NHS clinical placements, including musculoskeletal outpatients, intensive care and respiratory physiotherapy, older adult rehabilitation, and neurological rehabilitation. These experiences have helped him develop into a well-rounded clinician with an appreciation not only for physical recovery, but also for the confidence and reassurance patients need when returning to movement, sport, work, or everyday activities.

With additional experience in neurological rehabilitation and Parkinson’s research, Yaser takes a thoughtful, evidence-informed approach to assessment and treatment. He enjoys the problem-solving aspect of physiotherapy while placing equal importance on communication, trust, and empowering patients to take an active role in their recovery.

Outside of physiotherapy, Yaser enjoys travelling, photography, spending time in nature, and staying active. He brings warmth, curiosity, and enthusiasm to his work and is passionate about helping people move with greater confidence, recover stronger, and return to the activities and experiences that matter most to them.

HIGH LEVEL SUPPORT

Here at Crouch Physio, we offer the highest level of support to all of our clients. This includes being able to text or email any of our specialists between appointments.
We offer this high level support because we have seen that this drastically reduces expected recovery time for our clients which allows them to get back to normal activities quicker.

EDUCATION

Here at Crouch Physio, we will make sure to educate each and every single one of our clients on their diagnosis and how to best manage when away from the clinic setting. ⁣
We do this because education has been consistently shown across literature to be one of the most important factors for a quick and efficient recovery.
So don’t just expect to come into our clinic and receive ONLY manual based treatments. Although we do offer great symptom relieving treatments, evidence shows that its effectiveness increases with good patient education.

OBJECTIVE TESTING

Here at Crouch Physio, we don’t do guesswork. We use the latest technology to provide us clinicians with numerical objective data which allows us to apply the correct interventions at the right time.
Objectively assessing outcome measures also gives our patients confidence that they are improving under our care, as well as allowing them to monitor their own progress.
So whether you’re an active person trying to get stronger or a sedentary individual suffering pain/stiffness, you will know that your condition is improving with our specialist assessment tools.

TAILORED REHABILITATION

Here at Crouch Physio, we have access to the very best rehabilitation amenities, the same facilities used by premier league football players and other elite athletes.
Unlike most Physiotherapy clinics, our clients will split their time with their physio between the clinic room, gym area and our upstairs studio where you’ll find our VALD performance force-plates, allowing for a more in-depth assessment and individualised plans.
Upon your initial consultation with us, we will likely use the latest technology to obtain as much baseline data as we can, which allows our physiotherapists to make smarter/more informed decisions around client care.
Our world class facilities allow for us to safely and gradually phase our clients back to their baseline level of physical activity before injury.
