‘As a medical doctor and team doctor, I used to prescribe medications and refer my patients to physiotherapists and osteopaths to pursue their treatments. I was unhappy that I can’t help them myself and can’t check their progress, anymore. Now, I am happy that as an “Osteopathic Manual Practitioner” I can assess my patients, help them without medications, and evaluate their progress. It’s a wonderful feeling to see after a few sessions of osteopathy and hands-on practice, my patients can walk properly, get back to the activities they love, and are able to hug their beloved ones, once again.’

Philosophy:

Being passionate about the human body and its dysfunctions, Hoba started his path to explore the human body by studying medicine at the age of 18 at Guilan University of medical sciences. In 2010, almost 8 years later, at the age of 26, He became a medical doctor aka “general practitioner” in Guilan, and started practicing medicine in remote areas. In 2015, he started to pursue his long-lasting passion and took a variety of courses in sports medicine, fitness training, rehabilitation, and established his sports medicine facility in Tehran, Iran. The clinic was a multidisciplinary clinic consisting of him as the director and medical doctor, an osteopath, a physiotherapist, a Pilates trainer, a nutritionist, and a personal trainer. In 2017 he became a certified “soccer team doctor” and obtained permission to work with professional soccer players and teams. In 2018, after sustaining injuries while snowboarding and skydiving, he lost his interest in western medicine protocols, and started to study holistic approaches and became interested in osteopathy. Therefore, he studied osteopathy.
