Neha Shah, MPT, Orthopedic Physical Therapist

Neha Shah studied physical therapy at California State University, Northridge, where she earned a Master’s Degree with distinction. Throughout her career, she has worked with a wide range of physical problems common to athletes and weekend warriors, including sprains, repetitive strain, otver-use injuries, pre- and post-operative care, etc.

Neha understands that all injured athletes share one common trait: the desire to return to their sport or activity quickly and confidently. She believes there are three elements to achieving this desire: (a) thorough evaluation of the injury, (b) high-quality hands-on care, and (c) teaching patient’s safe body mechanics to help prevent future injuries.

“The only thing I find more fulfilling than helping people recover from injury is helping them perform their activity better and stronger than before. That’s why I love practicing physical therapy. It’s a uniquely powerful tool that expedites the healing process and provides people greater body awareness.”

Neha stays current with advances in physical therapy through continuing education courses in pilates, functional mechanics of the lower-body, biomechanics of the foot/orthoses, and spinal/peripheral mobilization. She is also pursuing certification as an orthopedic/sports clinical specialist.

A Southern California native, Neha enjoys hiking, biking, snowboarding, and yoga. She also volunteers with Big Sisters of America.
