Kahlil graduated with a Master of Physical Therapy from the University of Manitoba, Canada in 2019. Since then, he has worked in neurological pediatrics and orthopaedics. More specifically in neurology, children with many different types of neurological conditions including cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and congenital myopathies.
He spent time travelling to remote communities in Northern Manitoba to see children with neurological conditions. He has collaborated closely with other health care professionals in an inter-disciplinary team including occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, social workers, and psychologists to allow for a holistic and family centred approach.
Kahlil has completed further professional development in areas including Vestibular Rehabilitation and Cerebral Palsy. He plans to continue to take courses to further his physiotherapy knowledge.
When not at work, Kahlil enjoys being active. He likes to strength train, swim, cycle and playing team sports. He recently moved to Melbourne from Canada, enjoys travelling and is excited to explore more of Australia!
