OUR TEAM

Hey! I’m Ishani. I received my Bachelor’s in Physical Therapy from India and later received my DPT from Loma Linda University in California. My training and clinical experience has included working in several different settings such as outpatient orthopedics, in-patient acute and post-acute care, neurological rehabilitation and cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation. After working in these various settings I have found outpatient orthopedics to be an area of my prime interest.

I firmly believe that along with providing exceptional skilled physical therapy, values such as kindness, patience and holding unconditional positive regard toward patients is necessary for patient care. I strive to empower my patients/caregivers with lucid translation of my medical knowledge. It is important for me that my patients are able to understand their pain and purpose of physical therapy and therefore have complete control of their care. I try to approach my patients holistically and emphasize the importance of building small habits that will put them in the right direction toward their health. I have extensive experience in dealing with orthopedic post-operative conditions, overuse/repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain, postural dysfunctions, incorrect gait, work-related injuries and traumatic injuries. I am fluent in English, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi. In my personal time I enjoy travelling, taking my dog on hikes, meditating, practicing yoga and painting.

I earned doctorate degree from Arcadia University of Pennsylvania. I chose to join this team because of the commitment to quality of care that this team provides to their patients daily. I enjoy my work with a variety of patients and helping them achieve their goals. I have extensive experience in dealing with orthopedic post-op conditions, repetitive strain injuries, fractures, stroke, postural dysfunction, and balance disorders conditions.

When I treat my patients, I always make sure they feel comfortable and able to express their feeling through questions or concerns about their condition they may have. I believe, listening their concerns and answering their questions plus educate them to understand their symptoms and condition are very important in the healing process.

My main goal is to see my patients through their rehabilitation with support, treatment, patience and build relationships that can lead to a better health success.

I also have a strong interest in pursuing further specialize courses to expand my knowledge in this everyday changing world to keep up to date with latest treatments and techniques.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, watch movies and playing with my 5yr old daughter and travelling with family.

I’m Dr. Shilpa, a proud alumna of Rajiv Gandhi University in India. My academic journey peaked in 2021 when I earned a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Montana. I embarked on my physical therapy career in 2008 at an Obgyn clinic, later transitioning to a multi-specialty hospital where I teamed up with a plethora of specialists. My forte includes treating acute and chronic pain, orthopedic post-operative conditions, repetitive strain injuries, and more. A defining moment in my career was collaborating with elite sports teams, such as the India National Women’s Boxing Team, U-16 Women’s Basketball, and the Tennis Federation.

I continuously hone my skills in therapeutic techniques, including Maitland mobilization, Myofascial release, and Kinesio-taping, ensuring I offer the pinnacle of care. I advocate for a comprehensive approach to care, emphasizing the crucial role of educating patients. Away from the clinic, I savor serene moments immersed in nature, with camping and swimming being my personal retreats. Additionally, I take pleasure in preparing delicious meals for my two cherished children, aged 4 and 1.5.
