Jeel Shah, PT, MS

Jeel began her journey in healthcare by earning a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy from S.B.B. College of Physiotherapy in Ahmedabad, India. There she gained hands-on experience through clinical rotations across a variety of departments, including orthopedic, neurology, cardiopulmonary, electrotherapy, burns as well as critical care settings. These experiences provided her with a strong foundation in patient care and sparked a deeper interest in the role of physical therapy in optimizing movement and recovery. To expand her knowledge and expertise, she moved to the United States to pursue a master’s degree in Exercise and Health Sciences with a concentration in Sports at the University of Houston-Clear Lake.

Jeel began her professional journey in India, where she worked for 1.5 years in an outpatient clinical setting, treating a diverse range of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions across various age groups. Following the completion of her master’s program, she relocated to New York City and has been practicing as a physical therapist for nearly three years. She brings a dynamic and evidence-based approach to her work, combining advanced treatment techniques with individualized exercise prescription. Her practice emphasizes functional movements and long-term health, empowering patients to take an active role in their recovery and well-being. Jeel is passionate about helping people live healthier, more active lives through education, movement, and personalized care. She strongly believes that physical health is a cornerstone of overall wellness and strives to share that philosophy with every patient she works with. 

Outside of her professional life, Jeel is an avid reader with a love for suspense, crime and thrillers; a self-taught artist with a passion for exploring and mastering new art forms; a museum enthusiast who can happily spend hours wandering through each exhibit;  a curious traveler, always eager to explore new places and connect with different cultures; and, a proud Hufflepuff, valuing loyalty and kindness in everything she does. Always up for new experiences and adventures, she embraces life with the same energy and optimism she brings to her work.
