Meet the team
The founder of FlexoFix, Karl is a multi-faceted entrepreneur with a passion for innovation across various industries. As a former Olympic Alpine skier, he brings a competitive edge and discipline to his ventures. Throughout his 12-year hospitality career, Karl maintained his connection to sports, competing actively in squash, weight lifting and jiu-jitsu. He honed his leadership and operational skills in hotel management and F&B before transitioning into physical rehabilitation.
After an injury prompted him to delve into physical rehabilitation and health, he spent time in Paris with his sister, refining techniques with ballerinas, bodybuilders and therapists, focusing on flexology, muscle strengthening, alignment, and movement. He became a qualified personal trainer recognised by the International Sport Sciences Associations and upon returning to the UAE, he launched FlexoFix in 201 8, blending traditional methods with innovative approaches like hyperbaric chambers, vibroacoustic, light and compression therapies to adva nce health and physical rehabilitation practices.
Cynthia began dancing at the age of eight, specialising in ballet and jazz training. Her dancing and teaching career has taken her around the world where she has performed, choreographed and trained dancers, singers and actors.
Her perfectionism led her to always analyse movements and ways to improve dancing techniques as well as flexibility and movement in general. She works with students of different dance backgrounds and collaborates with chiropractors, osteopaths, and movement and flexibility specialists. Cynthia’s collaboration with FlexoFix has allowed us to deepen our method in muscle activation and stretching, as well as implement a more precise and varied protocol.
With over two decades of international experience in Spain, Hong Kong, England and the UAE, Mathew brings extensive expertise in chiropractic care and neurology to FlexoFix.

His dedication to learning has driven him to explore NLP, personal development and nutrition. His approach goes beyond conventional pain relief, focusing on spinal adjusting and alignment to optimize neurological function and overall body rejuvenation.
Embodied in Mathew is our commitment to holistic wellness and patient-centered care, focusing on the body's natural ability to heal. Outside of work, he loves spending time with his family and enjoys water sports like surfing.
