Mahmoud was privileged to work at Sheffield Hallam University with well-known figures within the field of Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (OMT), such as the late Kevin Banks (International Maitland Tutor and Co-Author of Maitland Textbook) and Dr. Stephen May (Author of MDT McKenzie Textbooks). Through his interaction, co-teaching, and shadowing many international tutors during his journey with Primephysio, Mahmoud has built his unique teaching style based on an integrated OMT model where all evidence-based concepts within the field of OMT are critically discussed and applied within a simple and clear clinical reasoning framework.

Mahmoud has taught many short courses and workshops in the UK, Malta, Kuwait, UAE, KSA, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, and Qatar.
