He has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed research articles and has played a significant role in advancing evidence-based approaches to MSK rehabilitation. Throughout his career, Nader has trained thousands of rehabilitation professionals in the assessment and treatment of spinal pain disorders, pelvic girdle dysfunctions, peripheral joint injuries, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and cervicogenic headaches. His clinical approach integrates manual therapy with sensorimotor control strategies to enhance functional outcomes for patients with complex MSK conditions. Since relocating to Canada in 2015, he has continued to deliver highly regarded manual therapy and sensorimotor training courses for physiotherapists, chiropractors, registered massage therapists, and kinesiologists. In addition to professional education, Nader actively presents key topics to physicians, dental surgeons, and specialists at local and international conferences, raising awareness of the critical role rehabilitation professionals play in integrated patient care. As a certified TMJ/TMD therapist and kinesiologist in British Columbia, Nader works in close collaboration with physicians, dentists, oral medicine specialists, and maxillofacial surgeons in the interdisciplinary management of patients, particularly those with TMD, sleep apnea, and cervicogenic headaches. His mission is to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and medical disciplines, fostering a collaborative, team-based approach to improve patient outcomes and quality of care
