Mouza Lootah, MPT

physiotherapist with about 10 years of experience across clinical practice, research, healthcare services management, and academia. I am a Lecturer and PhD Candidate in the Department of Physiotherapy, College of Health Sciences, at the University of Sharjah, UAE. My doctoral research uses a multimodal assessment approach, including neuroimaging, to study endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain in Emirati women. My wider research covers pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain, and women’s health in Emirati and Gulf populations, which have little research behind them. I teach anatomy and musculoskeletal lab sections and supervise student research in women’s health physiotherapy. Before joining academia, I held roles with Emirates Health Services and the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention. I also serve on the editorial team of the Professional Education Gazette and co-founded Ivy’s Haven, an animal welfare nonprofit.
