Shikaha's journey as a Physical Therapist began in 2012 after completing an MS in Health & Rehabilitation Services from the University of Pittsburgh. Since then, she has dedicated her efforts to assisting individuals grappling with various orthopedic conditions, including postural impairments, joint pain, post-operative rehabilitation, and sport-related injuries. In 2016, she graduated as a DPT from Arcadia University, sharpening her manual skills through evidence-based treatment strategies. Her life took a transformative turn in 2020 when she experienced the joy of giving birth to her beloved son. While she cherished the precious bond formed with her son, she encountered numerous challenges ranging from nursing difficulties, anxiety, pelvic pain, leaks, Diastasis recti, and lethargy to a loss of self-awareness. This mix of experiences left her feeling overwhelmed. Today, three years into postpartum, she takes great pride in her ability to be a fit and content mother. Achieving this state necessitated significant dedication, hard work, and the unwavering support of her family. All this wouldn't have been possible without a clear understanding of the pelvic floor and its role in helping women return to a prior level of function and poise. Equipped with expertise in orthopedic and pelvic health conditions, Shikha reaches out to women, inviting them to embrace an active lifestyle with unwavering confidence under her guidance.
