In 2012, Rabi attended the Discover Physio Series instructed by Diane Lee and Dr. Linda-Joy (LJ) Lee.  It was a pivotal time in his career because he was asked to be an assistant lab instructor teaching the Thoracic Ring Approach™ (LJ Lee) and the Integrated Systems Model for Disability & Pain (Lee and Lee) in Toronto and Montreal.  When LJ launched her new education company Dr. Linda-Joy Lee International (LJLI) in 2015, she asked him to challenge the skills and material in the inaugural group of Certified Practitioners (LJLCP).  Rabi completed this certification that same year, is now a Certified Assistant Instructor (LJLCA) teaching the Thoracic Ring Approach and Connect Therapy™ (LJ Lee) in Canada, the United States and England and completed his Certified Mentor designation (LJLCM) in 2023.
