Sports & Family Medicine Doctor in Dubai | UPANDRUNNING

MEET Dr.Anna Zickerman

Sports Medicine Specialist
Dubai's go-to Sports Medicine Doctor for complex and unresolved cases

Swedish-born and Dubai-raised, Dr. Anna qualified as a Family Practitioner at Leicester University before completing her MSc in Sports and Exercise Medicine in Nottingham and her Fellowship in Ireland. She went on to work in primary care musculoskeletal clinics across the UK, with clinical links to Leicester City FC, Leicester Tigers RFC, and Loughborough Athletics, before returning to Dubai with a specific purpose: to build the first fully integrated Sports Medical Centre in the region.

That vision became UPANDRUNNING.

Over a career spanning two decades, Dr. Anna has built a reputation for taking on the cases others have not been able to resolve. Her particular interest lies in complex musculoskeletal presentations, the patients who have seen multiple clinicians, accumulated multiple diagnoses, and are still looking for an answer that actually holds. She finds them.

Her career highlights reflect the breadth of that expertise. She served as a Sports Physician at the London 2012 Olympics. To date she has been the Sports Physician to DP World Tour events across the region since 2009, treating professional golfers, their families, and staff at the highest level of the game

Dr Anna’s approach has never changed. Precise diagnosis. Realistic treatment. Conservative where possible. And an uncompromising commitment to getting the right outcome for the person in front of her..

EXPERTISE AND APPROACH

Where diagnostic precision meets clinical excellence

Dynamic Ultrasound Scanning

Musculoskeletal ultrasound used in the room, in real time, during your appointment, assessing tendons, ligaments and joints as they move for a diagnostic picture that static imaging cannot provide.

Injection Therapy

Every injection is guided by live ultrasound for precision placement. Corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid options available for tendons, ligaments and joints, used as part of a structured treatment plan, not a standalone fix.

Complex Case Management

Dr Anna is sought out for cases that have not responded to previous treatment, persistent pain, unclear diagnoses, and long-standing musculoskeletal problems that require a fresh clinical eye. If you have been told there is nothing more to be done, it is worth a second opinion.

Sports Performance Medicine

Working with athletes from recreational to elite, Dr Anna assesses the physical factors limiting performance alongside injury and pain, providing medical clearance, performance testing, and a clinical framework for optimizing what the body can do.
