Dedicated physical therapist specializing in pediatric rehabilitation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate physical therapist with a Master's degree in Pediatrics Physical Therapy from Srinivas College of Physical Therapy in India. With over a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in evaluating and treating a diverse range of patients, particularly in pediatric rehabilitation. My journey began with internships at prestigious institutions, where I developed a strong foundation in both adult and pediatric care.
In my most recent role at Salude Rehab/Aegis Therapies, I have been actively involved in the evaluation and treatment of patients with orthopedic and neurological impairments. My commitment to patient care is reflected in my collaborative approach, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure comprehensive rehabilitation. I am also dedicated to advancing my knowledge through research, having conducted a study on balance in the pediatric population.
