Shivani Chauhan, PT, MS
When human being experiences different life stressors and aging, it is not uncommon for them to unravel. My great passion lies in bringing health back to people who are going through such experiences. The greatest satisfaction of my life is when I see my clients travelling back to their healthy days. I discovered my interest in Geriatric rehab as an intern when my grandmother was going through tough time while recovering post hip fracture. With experience of 3+ years (USA) and 3+ years (India), I carry the valuable set of skills which includes pain management, fall risk prevention, mobility improvement and functional training which will help clients gain confidence to participate in activities of daily living and will direct them towards enhancement of overall human performance.
My educational background includes Masters of science in Kinesiology- sports and human performance (year 2017) and a Bachelors of science in physical therapy (year 2012).
I like to spend my spare time with family and friends. I am more of an outdoor person and I like traveling.
