Physical Therapist in Lebanon — manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and clinical rehabilitation.
Who you will see
I am Nour Jihad Kassem, a physical therapist working in Lebanon. I give you one-on-one attention in every session, and I focus on the root cause of your pain rather than only the symptoms you can feel.
Using a combination of manual therapy, advanced clinical techniques and a customised exercise programme, I help you recover from post-surgery rehabilitation, chronic pain and sports injury. The approach is the same whether you are an athlete, a parent of a child who has been referred, or someone whose back has ached at a desk for two years: assess properly, explain it plainly, treat the cause, and finish with you able to maintain it yourself.
I work across neurological, sports, trauma, paediatric and geriatric cases, and I also see patients at home when travelling to a clinic is not realistic.

My approach
They are unremarkable principles. Following them every single time is what is not.
Principle 01
The painful spot is often not the problem — only where the problem surfaced. A full examination comes before any treatment, because treating an area without knowing what is driving it is guessing with better equipment.
Principle 02
Manual therapy, dry needling and cupping open a window in which you can move better. What you do inside that window — with progressive, specific exercise — is what makes the change last.
Principle 03
The goal is not only to relieve your symptoms. It is to build the strength, confidence and knowledge that keep you healthy and active for life — which means you need to understand what happened and why.
Your journey
Nothing is treated before it has been assessed, and nothing is discharged before you can maintain it yourself.
A comprehensive assessment, a clear diagnosis explained in plain words, and the first session of treatment on the same day.
Hands-on therapy paired with a progressive exercise programme, reviewed at every visit so the plan keeps matching where you actually are.
You finish with the strength, the confidence and the knowledge to maintain it yourself — plus a short routine that keeps the problem away.
What matters here
Every session is yours alone, start to finish.
If you cannot explain your own problem afterwards, we did not finish.
A realistic estimate beats an optimistic one you stop believing in week three.
Strength and range recorded, so improvement is visible rather than remembered.
From children's development to older adults' balance and mobility.
Explained in whichever of the three you are most comfortable in.
Patients
I had been told to rest and wait. Instead I was given something to do from the first visit, and the pain settled within three weeks.
The first person who examined my shoulder properly instead of guessing. I knew exactly what was wrong by the end of the session.
Six weeks after my knee surgery I could manage the stairs again. The plan was staged and I always knew what came next.
My neck pain turned out to be a posture and strength problem. Months on and it has not come back.
She explained my son's walking in a way two other people could not, and the exercises were a game he actually wanted to play.
The cupping and dry needling helped immediately, but it was the exercise programme that made it stay away.
Sample wording shown while real reviews are collected.
A full examination, the findings explained, and a plan you understand. No commitment beyond that session.
