About Shivani
Shivani believes that physical therapy and physiotherapy are essential in dealing with acute injuries, chronic pain, and pain management in general. She completed her Master’s in Science, specializing in Physical therapy, and became a doctor in physical therapy in the year 2008.
Since becoming a doctor, she has acquired over 15 years of experience in outpatient orthopedics, working in hospitals and private practice. Shivani believes that physiotherapy can be enhanced by treating not just the affected region but by taking into account the physical challenges, psychological patterns, and lifestyle of the patient. She believes that by listening, understanding, providing a conducive environment for physical healing and pain management, and applying the best practices of physical therapy, meaningful differences in physical care can be achieved. It is this belief that seeded and founded Elevate Physical Therapy.
Shivani is an avid traveler and aspires to go to Antarctica someday, the only continent she hasn’t been to. She is a foodie who enjoys playing volleyball at the beach and indoors. She indulges in an occasional binge-watch of web series and advocates that Netflix and Hulu are god-sent.
