Faraj is a Physiotherapist at Evado Studios Sunbury, driven by a genuine interest in helping people move better, recover from injury, and build confidence in their bodies for the long term.

Faraj completed his Master of Physiotherapy Practice at La Trobe University, bringing a strong foundation in musculoskeletal physiotherapy to his clinical work. He takes a hands-on, collaborative approach to rehabilitation, combining manual therapy and targeted exercise programming with clear education, so clients understand their injury and feel empowered throughout their recovery.

He works with clients across all stages of injury, from acute presentations through to full return to activity, and places a strong emphasis on setting meaningful goals and tracking progress along the way. Faraj also holds a keen interest in ergonomics, helping clients understand how their everyday environment and movement habits can support long-term health and injury prevention.

Outside the clinic, Faraj enjoys exploring new cafes, training at the gym, and picking up a paddle for the occasional game of pickleball.
