Sharwari Shinde, PT, MS

Sharwari is a highly skilled and dedicated physical therapist, holding a Masters in Exercise Science from Long Island University, New York. Prior to this, she earned a Bachelor of Physiotherapy in India from K. J. Somaiya College of Physiotherapy, Mumbai. During her undergraduate studies, Sharwari gained extensive clinical experience in both musculoskeletal outpatient and inpatient settings, as well as contributing to post-COVID rehabilitation efforts. This diverse clinical foundation laid the groundwork for her passion for patient care and movement science.

Professionally, Sharwari began her career with a broad spectrum of clinical rotations, treating patients with musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions. This experience, spanning across various age groups, enabled her to develop a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation. A major focus has been in orthopedics, where she worked with post-surgical patients, geriatric populations, and athletes. Having volunteered at prestigious events such as the TATA Mumbai Marathon, Sharwari gained valuable experience in treating sports injuries. With a strong belief in holistic care, she integrates manual therapy with exercise science, emphasizing movement analysis, kinesio taping, and aquatic therapy. Sharwari is deeply committed to providing individualized care that enhances patients’ overall mobility, strength, and quality of life.

Beyond the clinic, Sharwari is a passionate advocate for a holistic approach to health, characterized by empathy and compassion. Her approach to physical therapy is tailored to the unique needs and goals of each patient, reflecting a deep commitment to their well-being and recovery. Personally, Sharwari enjoys exploring creative outlets, from painting and dancing to flower arrangement—a recent self-care discovery. She is an avid city explorer, often embarking on walks to seek new dessert and pizza spots across New York City. When not in the clinic or out exploring, Sharwari can be found indulging in impulsive Trader Joe’s shopping or whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen.
