Raphael Soares is a Senior Physiotherapist who has had the opportunity to work in health care centers of excellence treating diverse subsets of patients promoting recovery and prevention. Raphael's world class education focuses on cutting edge advanced therapies delivering best practice principles. He graduated in Physiotherapy in Rio de Janeiro in 2004 and became registered in Canada in 2012. In 2019, he accepted a job offer to work for a clinic with branches in Kuwait City and Dubai. Early 2020, he returned to the Sports Medicine to resume his activities.

Raphael methodically investigates the primary source of the dysfunction and believes that a client-focused approach associated to an evidence-based practice is the key for an effective model of treatment. He has extensive training in Osteopathic Techniques (USA, UK, Switzerland), Functional Dry Needling (USA, Canada) and P-DTR (Denmark). Raphael attended McMaster University in September 2020 completing a Master of Science thesis-based course in the Rehabilitation Science Program which provides training that will develop knowledge, appraisal and evaluation skills. His research will focused on in-person vs. tele-health treatment methods for low back and shoulder dysfunctions including the use of active rehab associated to other modalities such as dry needling and manual therapy.
