STAFF SPOTLIGHT Rahim Kanji CHIROPRACTOR PHYSICAL THERAPIST
Rahim’s journey in the field of rehabilitation started early in childhood. His grandmother suffered from chronic low back pain and would frequently ask him to step on her back or make herbal patches using ingredients such as
turmeric and eggs. This piqued his curiosity of how the body functions and heals, driving his educational pursuits to find the most effective approach to heal and maintain the body at its best – free of disease. In college, he began working with patients in cardiac rehabilitation and from there delved into the areas of chiropractic care and physical therapy. As a clinician, he specializes in conservative management of the neuromuscular system. He has worked in the field of rehabilitation for 14 years, integrating various approaches to provide the best treatment for his patients.
