Three steps, start to plan.
- 01
Book and describe the problem
Reserve a time, then send your reports and scans on WhatsApp before the session so I can read them in advance.
- 02
We talk, test, and find the source
I take your history, review your imaging, and guide you through simple movement tests on camera to locate where the pain is coming from.
- 03
You leave with a written plan
A graded exercise programme, the lifestyle and nutrition changes that matter for your case, and clear follow-up points to measure progress.
Choose the format that fits your case.
Single sessions answer a specific question. Programmes are for conditions that need supervision while they change.

From the channel

Six hundred episodes of orthopedic physiotherapy in Arabic, watched for 6.7 million hours. Start with these.
Built alongside the clinic
3Diagno
Human biomechanics simulator.
The tool I built for teaching. Set any joint in the body and watch the rest of the chain answer — pick an open or closed kinetic chain, move one segment, and see what everything else has to do to compensate.
- Every joint from the jaw and spine down to fingers and toes
- Open and closed kinetic chain modes
- Left side, right side, or both at once
- Reset any segment back to neutral
For physiotherapy students, educators, and clinicians who want an anatomical reference they can actually move.

Patients, after the fact.
Recorded by patients themselves and published on the Sukon Med channel.
Every case is different. What worked for one person is not a prediction of what will work for you.
Questions people ask first.
Does it matter which country I am in?
No. Consultations run over WhatsApp or video call, so we can meet from anywhere. Tell me your time zone when you book and we will find a time that works.
Which language do we speak?
Arabic or English, whichever you prefer. Say so when you book.
What should I send before the session?
Any X-rays, MRI or CT reports you already have, a short summary of when the pain started and what makes it worse, and the names of any medication you take. Send them on WhatsApp after booking.
Can an online consultation replace hands-on treatment?
It does not replace manual therapy. What it does is establish what is wrong, rule out the causes that need a different specialist, and give you a correct exercise programme — which is the part of recovery that happens at home anyway.
What if my case needs surgery or imaging?
Then I will say so, and tell you which specialist to see and what to ask them. I do not order imaging or issue prescriptions.
How do I pay?
Payment is taken online when you book, in US dollars, by card.
Ready when you are.
Book a time, send your reports, and we will start with what is actually causing the pain.
