Dr Mehdy Mahjoub is a Doctor of Osteopathy, Pediatric Osteopath and Myofunctional Therapist with international training and clinical experience across several countries. His academic and postgraduate training has taken place in Canada, Spain, Australia and the United States, with further professional development focused on pediatric care, biomechanics, nutrition, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation and myofunctional therapy.
He is registered with the College of Registered Manual Osteopaths and other professional associations. His career has developed across an international clinical environment. He currently practices in Canada, Qatar and Tunisia, and has also gained professional experience in Singapore, the United Kingdom and France.
Dr Mehdy works with newborns, children and adults, combining osteopathy and myofunctional therapy according to each patient’s presentation and needs. His approach considers the relationships between the musculoskeletal system, fascia, cranial and visceral structures, breathing, posture, oral function and movement.
His clinical work incorporates a broad range of manual osteopathic techniques, including joint mobilization, Muscle Energy Techniques, soft tissue therapy, cranial and visceral approaches and fascial techniques. His aim is to identify and address biomechanical and functional restrictions while supporting mobility, comfort and overall function.
A major focus of Dr Mehdy’s practice is pediatric and newborn care. He works with babies and children presenting with concerns such as feeding difficulties, oral and myofunctional dysfunction, tongue function and tongue tie related concerns, plagiocephaly, torticollis, colic, sleep difficulties, postural concerns and musculoskeletal imbalances. His approach considers not only the area where symptoms appear, but also the compensatory patterns that may develop throughout the body.
His expertise in myofunctional therapy complements his osteopathic work with both children and adults. He assesses and works with the functional relationships between the tongue, lips, jaw, swallowing, breathing and posture, while considering how these functions interact with the rest of the body.
Dr Mehdy is particularly passionate about working with newborn babies. His approach is centred around identifying and addressing restrictions that may interfere with comfortable feeding, movement and early development, while providing parents with practical guidance they can continue at home.
Patient and parent education remain central to his clinical philosophy. Dr Mehdy believes that understanding the mechanisms contributing to a problem is an important part of achieving meaningful and lasting change. His consultations therefore combine hands on treatment with education, guidance and individualized strategies whenever appropriate.
In addition to Osteopathy, Dr Mehdy holds a master’s degree specializing in Health Communication and has extensive experience within healthcare environments. He is fluent in Arabic, French and English, allowing him to work comfortably with patients and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Dr Mehdy was introduced to mindfulness and meditation at a young age and continues to integrate their principles into his broader understanding of health and well being. He is also inspired by the philosophy of iḥsān, the continuous pursuit of excellence, and regularly reviews emerging research and clinical approaches to keep his practice evidence informed, relevant and contemporary.
When Dr Mehdy is not at the clinic or on a home visit, you might find him freediving beyond the ebb and flow of the Pacific.
