Hassaan Mahmood is a Physiotherapist Intern who holds a Master of Science in Physiotherapy and a Bachelor of Kinesiology and Physical Education from the University of Toronto. Hassaan grounds his practice in effective listening and collaborative care. He understands that every patient brings a unique background, lifestyle, and set of goals to treatment, allowing him to design personalized plans that naturally fit into and enrich their daily lives. Hassaan’s commitment to community movement and rehab shines through his background as a facilitator with programs like SMILE, TIME at Home, and March of Dimes Canada, where he helped individuals of all abilities recover, build strength, and get back to doing what they love.

Having spent his upbringing across Toronto neighborhoods from Riverside to the Beaches, Hassaan brings a warm and relatable perspective to his practice. He was born in Pakistan and moved throughout the GTA before settling down in Riverdale, making him fluent in English, Urdu, and Hindi, with a bucket list dream of becoming a polyglot. Outside the clinic, he is an avid runner competing in 5ks and 10ks, a self-taught guitarist, and a dice collector. A huge movie enthusiast who is always eager to exchange film recommendations, Hassaan keeps a lighthearted attitude about his field, often recalling the time he tripped and sprained his ankle on his way out of a sports medicine lecture specifically focused on foot and ankle injuries.
