Shamese Barakat

Shamese Barakat, occupational therapist, graduated from McGill university in 2006. She has practised in the private sector ever since, gaining experience in the treatment of a wide array of musculoskeletal conditions with the CNESST, SAAQ and private clientele. She demonstrates a particular interest in treatment of certain hand conditions and offers splint fabrication services when required. In 2011, Shamese completed an intensive functional capacity evaluation training, allowing her to put into place a comprehensive rehabilitation program (program de développement des capacités) within 2 clinics, coordinating interdisciplinary teams to promote recovery, function and ultimately achieve a return to work goals with the CNESST, SAAQ and private clientele. Shamese completed a master's level program at McGill University, in 2018, obtaining a graduate certificate in driving rehabilitation. This area of occupational therapy has quickly become a passion of hers. Another of her passions is Pilates. After practicing for over a decade, Shamese completed a Pilates group certification with ANIE (association Nationale des intervenants en entraînement) and eventually refined her knowledge by taking the STOTT Pilates Intensive Mat-Plus course.
