Breakthrough in UAE: Man regains mobility after half a decade through wife's unusual treatment approach
Emirati Man Defies Medical Odds with Unconventional Therapy and Returns to Volunteering
In a remarkable story of resilience and family dedication, Khalil Al Hosani, a 60-year-old Emirati from Abu Dhabi's Western Region, has made a remarkable recovery from complete paralysis caused by a stroke seven years ago. His wife, Fatima, played an instrumental role in his recovery through an unconventional therapy she developed.
After doctors declared Khalil's recovery impossible and he spent five years bedridden at home, Fatima took him home and began daily sessions of burying him in sand at the beach and massaging his muscles with sand and seawater. Within four to five months, Khalil started to stand and eventually walk unaided, defying medical prognosis.
This unique therapy involved regular trips to the beach, burying Khalil's body in the sand for hours to stimulate muscles, massaging his muscles with sand and seawater, and cleaning him in the sea afterward. Fatima's dedication and this natural, tactile stimulation method helped restore Khalil's mobility and overall functioning after half a decade of paralysis. Today, Khalil walks without assistance, though he keeps a wheelchair handy for long trips.
Khalil and Fatima are not just survivors; they are volunteers. They participate in various initiatives to help others, including the 'Volunteer Emirates - Back to School' initiative organized by Dubai Cares in partnership with Aldar. Here, they helped assemble school kits for children from low-income families.
For Khalil, volunteering is not just about helping others but about celebrating the life they fought so hard to reclaim. He expressed gratitude every day for being able to stand and walk, stating that when you give, you are alive. Fatima, who never attended school herself but learned to read and write at home alongside her children, shares the same joy helping other children go to school as she did when packing her own children's school bags.
Khalil and Fatima consider themselves a team of two and go wherever there is a chance to do good. Their story serves as a testament to the power of unconventional rehabilitation, persistent physical stimulation, environmental therapy, and family involvement in recovery.
