About
Naji El Hakam is a highly skilled Physiotherapist specialising in sports rehabilitation in Dubai. He works with athletes and active individuals to recover from injury, restore function and return to peak performance. As a former professional footballer, Naji’s path into physiotherapy was shaped by his own experience of overcoming two ACL ruptures, giving him unique, first-hand insight into the physical and psychological demands of injury rehabilitation.
Qualified as a physiotherapist in 2016, Naji holds certification as a Sports Team Physiotherapist and is a Rehab-to-Performance Specialist. He has also completed the FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine.
Naji provides injury rehabilitation and performance-focused physiotherapy for athletes across football, volleyball, CrossFit, MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He also works with high-performing corporate clients, delivering tailored musculoskeletal treatment programmes designed to restore movement, optimise function and prevent recurrence of injury. His experience includes clinical rehabilitation within a specialist musculoskeletal clinic setting in Dubai.
His areas of expertise include rehabilitation of shoulder, knee and ankle injuries, advanced manual therapy techniques such as Mulligan Concept, Active Release Techniques, fascia therapy, craniosacral therapy and radiofrequency athletic sports massage. He designs structured rehab-to-performance programmes to ensure safe return to sport while enhancing strength, mobility and resilience.
Naji’s philosophy centres on personalised, performance-driven care. He combines advanced rehabilitation techniques with individualised treatment planning to empower patients to recover fully, prevent future injuries and achieve their best in both sport and daily life.
