About Shahram
Shahram Ghasemi is a physician by training (MD, Iran) and a diplomate in Osteopathic Manual Practice (DOMP). Before immigrating to Canada he specialised in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), led hospital rehabilitation departments and ran his own private clinic for more than thirty years. That dual identity — medical and manual — still defines the way he works in Côte Saint-Luc today.
Every consultation begins with a structured assessment: full history, orthopaedic testing, postural analysis, gait observation and osteopathic palpation. The goal is never to treat only the painful spot, but to understand why that area became overloaded in the first place. Low back pain can start at a stiff hip, shoulder pain at a restricted rib cage, a headache at an irritated cervical junction.
His approach combines gentle structural techniques, joint mobilisation, myofascial work, and visceral and craniosacral techniques. Intensity is systematically adapted to age, bone density, surgical history and patient tolerance — particularly important for the senior population of Côte Saint-Luc and Hampstead.
Each treatment plan ends with concrete recommendations: targeted exercises, workstation corrections, sleep and loading strategies. When a patient needs complementary care, he refers internally to physiotherapy, massage therapy or naturopathy so the plan stays coordinated rather than scattered.
Shahram Ghasemi is also the clinical reviewer for content published on the Réhabital blog: articles on pain, rehabilitation and osteopathy are reviewed for medical accuracy.

“Très belle expérience avec le docteur Ghasemi. Après une première consultation il m’a orienté vers le service qui était mieux adapté pour moi. Dès la première séance j’allais beaucoup mieux. Le personnel est accueillant et très professionnel.”
“After visiting many osteopaths and physiotherapists over the years, I can honestly say that this was the best experience I’ve ever had with an osteopath. Dr. Shahram is truly exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable, takes the time to explain everything clearly, and makes you feel comfortable and confident throughout the treatment. I highly recommend him!”
“Mr. Ghasemi is an incredible osteopath. He is extremely knowledgable and explains the treatment as he goes. Would recommend to anyone, especially those who have chronic pain.”
“I had a Hydr-O2 Facial with Farzaneh, and it was a great experience. She picked a specific pod and serum based on my skin type and main concern, brightening, so it felt really tailored to me. The session was relaxing, professional, and clearly done with care, and I was happy with both the experience and the results. Considering the price and the fact that it lasted around two hours, it was well worth it. I also came in today for an osteopathy session with Shahram for sciatica, and I honestly couldn't believe how much better I felt after just one session, at least 70% improvement. I also want to thank Rouzbeh, the clinic manager and son of Shahram and Farzaneh, for managing everything so well. This clinic clearly runs like a well-oiled machine, and I really appreciate it.”
“I've experienced several different services at this clinic. I had an osteopathy session with Shahram, several physiotherapy sessions with Colin which I was really happy with, and for the first time I also had a massage with Irina. I was genuinely satisfied with all three experiences, each of them was professional and took great care and attention with me. Overall, I have to say the whole team at this clinic is very professional, organized, and caring, and the clinic's atmosphere is clean and calming. From the moment I walked in until the end of each session, everything felt orderly and respectful. I'm really happy I chose this clinic and would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for quality therapeutic and wellness care.”
“I saw Dr. Shahram after suffering from severe pain in my left thumb whenever I moved it for almost four years. I had visited different places several times before, but unfortunately nothing had really helped. This time, after just one session with Dr. Shahram, he performed a corrective treatment and gave me specific exercises to follow at home. After only one week, the pain and difficulty in moving my hand have improved by at least 50%. I’m very grateful for his expertise, care, and the effective treatment. Thank you, Dr. Shahram!”
