Meet Qarib Ahmed, Licensed Occupational Therapist


With 18 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist across inpatient, acute, subacute, outpatient, and homecare settings, and as an adjunct professor at Sacred Heart University, I have made manual therapy my passion and life's work. My journey started in 2008 as an Occupational Therapy Assistant, and I returned to graduate from Sacred Heart University with my Master's in 2013.
In my years of practice, I noticed a critical aspect missing in typical healthcare: the treatment of human fascia. I have extensive knowledge in physical dysfunction, neurological, and orthopedic conditions. I see an individual as a whole person, not just a diagnosis with a "set path" to recovery. The body is connected from head to toe, and the principles of Myofascial Release treat it as such.
My mission is to facilitate true physical and emotional healing outside the constraints of our limiting healthcare system. By reducing acute and chronic pain, we may decrease or eliminate the need for pain medication, allowing you to participate in meaningful activities to the best of your abilities.
What is fascia, and why does it matter? It is the continuous connective tissue web that surrounds every muscle, bone and organ. Learn about myofascial release, or see how it is combined with electrohydraulic shockwave therapy.
