Afshin’s clinical practice involves a comprehensive approach, beginning with a thorough anatomical, biomechanical and neurophysiological assessment to identify sources of nociception (painful stimuli). Afshin’s treatments consist of manual techniques and neurofunctional electro-acupuncture in addition to prescribed home exercises for the rehabilitation and prevention of sports injuries and pain with movement disorders. Afshin received his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from York University. He then went on to complete his Physiotherapy degree at the European School of Physiotherapy in Amsterdam, Netherlands with special interests in musculoskeletal/sports rehabilitation, injury prevention and performance enhancement. Afshin has completed post-graduate courses in Contemporary Medical Acupuncture from McMaster University as well as the Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal (AIM) program through the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
