Beyond Physical Therapy & Performance

"I can't recommend Malik highly enough! I initially began working with him because I had persistent hip pain that was preventing me from doing heavy squats and deadlifts, which was keeping me from progressing in my training. Malik prescribed a combination of mobility and strength drills that addressed the problem and be able to squat and deadlift heavy (as well as help me understand the issue and its root causes). I've continued to work with him and he has helped me to progress holistically to work toward my training goals while also addressing weaknesses that are holding me back. When I've experienced pain and injuries, Malik has given me tools to alleviate the issues and be able to continue training. He has since helped me develop a program to build muscle and strength that is personalized toward my goals. If you are looking for a PT or coach who will provide individualized attention to help you achieve your goals, I can't recommend Malik strongly enough -- particularly if you are an athlete or a lifter. His philosophy is that training and PT should go hand in hand, they are not separate but really the same thing. He's also extremely responsive to any questions or concerns that might arise between sessions. Highly, highly recommended."

"I worked with Malik after getting injured during my first half marathon. I couldn't really run a single step. We started off with an assessment and doing slow, controlled exercises on the table. He was extremely attentive, noticing things about my gate and movement that helped me be more mindful both during exercise and in everyday life. Malik helped me gradually progress to standing and then impact and load bearing exercises designed to help me absorb shock and retrain my tendency to favor one side of my body. Throughout the whole process he was both firm and encouraging, meeting me where I was at and making sure I didn't overstress my leg (exercise is a part of my life and I was eager to get back to it). With a lot of care and attention, Malik was eventually able to transition me back to lifting and running short distances. Today, after working with him for a few months, I'm training for my first full marathon and still using the lessons I learned with Malik. Can't recommend him enough!"

"Starting my fitness journey last year was a turning point for me, especially after struggling with upper back pain for so long. Every gym attempt ended in pain until I met Malik. He wasn't just another PT; his program was custom-made for me, blending his physiotherapy expertise with a targeted fitness plan that addressed my back pain directly. Remarkably, we did all this online. Despite the virtual format, Malik's guidance felt incredibly personal and effective. He pinpointed and treated my muscle imbalances through video calls, adapting the plan as we progressed. Malik's approach was a game-changer. The persistent pain that had plagued me disappeared, allowing me to commit to the gym and lift weights without fear. It's impressive how Malik managed to provide such a hands-on, transformative experience remotely. I highly recommend Malik to anyone looking to overcome physical challenges and improve their fitness. His unique blend of physiotherapy knowledge and personal training, even via video, is exceptional. Working with him didn't just change my physical health; it boosted my confidence and showed me what's possible with the right support."
