Having graduated from the University of Johannesburg in 2019 with a specialist Bachelor in Biokinetics, he proceeded to pursue a Masters Degree in Sport Science at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal.

His research focuses on the effects of hydrotherapy intervention on patients with non-specific lower back pain. He was born in Empangeni on the KwaZulu Natal North Coast and moved to Morocco when he was two years old and thereafter completed all his schooling in the Gulf (United Arab Emirates and Kuwait). 

It is therefore no surprise that he can read and write Arabic. Since 2019, he joined Synergy Holistix as a full-time employee and continues to practice under his mentor Ms Claudia dos Santos who earlier offered him an internship position. 

To Sashin, being a biokineticist is more than just treating patients, he goes beyond to include patient education in the alleviation, understanding and management of pain. Taking control over one’s lifestyle, can address one’s experiences with pain, whether it is on a physical or emotional level. 

A holistic approach to pain management and avoidance; and the idea that one is not broken because of pain are the basis of his approach to therapy and ultimately patient well-being.

His personal experiences in several sporting codes that include: baseball, volleyball, basketball and athletics, have seen him enduring pain with different intensities and his guidance through his own injuries provides a better understanding of the best practices in therapy and healing.

His passion from playing sports to treating sport related injuries is therefore not an accident but a well-thought-out career path.  Having the privilege of working with outstanding practitioners, Dr. Wayne Borowsky, Dr. Marco Maruggi, Ms Cordelia McTaggart, Mr Shane Litvin and Ms Claudia dos Santos, provided the opportunity to grow as a practitioner in the treatment of a variety of injuries specific and non-specific. 

Meeting with patients daily and offering them direction to recovery require compassion and an openness to think, to learn and tbecome. Sashin embodies these in abundance.

In his spare time, he enjoys reading, playing golf, dancing and playing musical instruments, namely, the saxophone, piano and guitar.
