Much of her experience is in orthopedics (complex spinal injuries, head/face/TMJ pain, lumbo-pelvic and hip pain), though for the last 15 years she has been focused mainly on pelvic health and chronic pain for all genders.

She has had the privilege of working as the primary physiotherapist within an interdisciplinary care team on the Pelvic Pain team at the AHS Chronic Pain Center from 2006 to 2017. Safa has also completed the 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training program with the Myofascial Yoga Institute, and is a strong believer in the healing properties of sunshine, nature, children and community.
