Marwan Khayat, PT
Physical Therapist

Marwan Khayat completed his Bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy at Tel Aviv University in Israel. In addition, he completed a one-year program of continuing medical education in the field of Sports Medicine at the Sackler School of Medicine in Tel Aviv University. Mr. Khayat has attended several courses in the field of sports medicine back in Israel and in the United States. Mr. Khayat has extensive knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of people with myofascial and chronic pain syndromes. He has attended rigorous courses in the field of myofascial trigger points and he is certified by the National Training Centre, Ireland in the technique of trigger point dry needling. Marwan also serves as an examiner for the dry needling certification exam and he assists in teaching the dry needling courses.

Mr. Khayat has attended several courses in the field of craniomandibular and facial pain/dysfunction taught by Dr. Mariano Rocabado. Mr. Khayat spends much of his time researching the field of temporomandibular joint [TMJ] rehabilitation and is dedicated in exploring new avenues of collaboration between physical therapists and dentists. Finally, he is a Certified Kinesio Taping Practitioner [CKTP] and a member of the Kinesio Taping Association. In 2007, Marwan completed his studies to become a Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), which has advanced his knowledge, skills and abilities to successfully work with clients suffering from musculoskeletal impairments, imbalances or post-rehabilitation concerns.

Mr. Khayat has in-depth experience working with fitness and rehabilitation populations. He derives much of his rehabilitation skill from the art of martial arts which makes many “old fashioned” exercises more appealing and fun to do. Who could have thought that a simple boring rotator cuff rehab exercise would turn into a series of self defense moves? So, are you up for the challenge? 

Marwan has written an article with Jan Dommerholt, “A Sensitive Issue,” about fibromyalgia issues, published in Advance for Directors in Rehabilitation. Read article »

Outside the office, he is a dedicated practitioner in the art of Kempo Karate. Marwan is also fluent in Arabic and Hebrew and would be happy to teach you some words during your meetings. Marwan resides with his wife in Washington, DC.
