Dr Mohammad Jomaa

MBBCh, PGCertHCL, DipMSKMed, FACSEP

Dr Mohammad Jomaa is a specialist Sport & Exercise Physician focused on the non-operative diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, persistent pain, and complex sports-related conditions.

Patients commonly consult Dr Jomaa for knee, shoulder, hip, tendon, and ligament injuries, ongoing or recurrent pain, and situations where rehabilitation has stalled or non-surgical treatment options are being explored.

A defining feature of his practice is precision diagnosis paired with targeted, evidence-informed intervention. He is an experienced diagnostic and ultrasound-guided proceduralist, integrating advanced imaging, contemporary regenerative injection therapies, and structured rehabilitation strategies to restore function and reduce pain.

Key areas of expertise include:

  • Cellular and biological therapies, including PRP, as part of structured rehabilitation programs

  • Ultrasound-guided diagnosis and interventions performed in rooms

  • Non-operative management of acute ACL injuries, including the Cross Bracing Protocol

  • Complex joint, tendon, and ligament injuries of the knee, shoulder, and hip

  • Persistent or poorly explained pain presentations

  • Sports-related concussion and return-to-play decision making

Dr Jomaa takes a physiology-informed approach to recovery, recognising that healing and performance are influenced by training load, recovery capacity, sleep, nutrition, and systemic health. Where clinically appropriate, he may integrate prescription-based medical therapies within regulated frameworks, in collaboration with other health professionals.

Dr Jomaa completed his medical degree at Cardiff University and was awarded Fellowship of the Australasian College of Sport & Exercise Physicians (FACSEP) in 2022. He also holds postgraduate qualifications and extensive experience in Musculoskeletal Medicine and Healthcare Leadership.

He remains actively involved in elite and community sport. Current and recent notable appointments include:

  • Assistant Chief Medical Officer -- Manly Warringah Sea Eagles (NRL)

  • Chief Consulting Medical Officer -- Knox Grammar School

  • Deputy Chief Medical Officer & Medical Services Coordinator -- Invictus Games Sydney 2018

  • Venue Medical Officer & Medical Operations Lead -- FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 (Stadium Australia)

Outside of patient-facing clinical practice, Dr Jomaa holds appointments in medical leadership and education. He trains other doctors as a Clinical Training Supervisor for Sport & Exercise Medicine registrars and contributes to the delivery of Management of Sporting Trauma courses, focused on life- and limb-threatening medical emergencies.
