About Hoba

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. He holds to the opinion that it is of paramount importance to be familiar with conventional medicine, such as his background in medicine, and knowing the anatomy, physiology, pathology, kinesiology, and proper structural patterns of the human body and then using a holistic approach to be able to answer properly to patients’ concerns and help them to retain their health, enhance their wellness and well-being. Educational Background: Hoba graduated as a Doctor of Medicine with honors from the Guilan University of medical sciences in 2010. Later in 2015, he became a “certified bodybuilding coach” and in 2016 he obtained his “certified team doctor license.” In 2020, Hoba graduated from the National Academy of osteopathy in Toronto, Ontario as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, D.O.M.P.. He is a member of the National Canadian Association of Alternative Medicine[ACMA], and College of Registered Manual Osteopaths(CRMO). Recently, Hoba has taken courses in Neurokinetic Therapy and is able to help patients with this new approach as well. Areas of practice During his session, Hoba applies manual techniques such as soft tissue release, fascial lengthening, craniosacral therapy, muscle testing, and neurokinetic therapy. He believes that structural re-integration is of great importance and usually puts his concentration on structural assessments to help the patient have a happier, pain-free, and more active lifestyle. Personal history: Hoba loves adventures, hiking, and outdoor activities. That’s why he is living on the North shore to be close to hikes, lakes, mountains, and trails. He is a solo skydiver, snowboarder, scuba-diver and he loves surfing and stand-up paddleboarding especially at sunsets.
