Healing Myself: Meet Shikha

A woman doing pelvic floor physical therapy holding her daughter.Hey there! I am so excited to join this amazing mom community.

My name is Shikha. I reside in Sleepy Hollow, New York, with my husband and three-year-old son. I am a physical therapist.

I have been healing people physically and mentally for the past 12 years.

My life took a turn in 2020 when I delivered my baby at the peak of COVID-19. Motherhood changed my personality completely. From being a hard-core workaholic to a stay-at-home mother for 12 months, I dealt with severe postpartum challenges ranging from anxiety, depression, and Diastasis Recti to losing myself. But I powered through, and today, three years into postpartum, I can say, with a lot of pride, that I am a happy and content mother.

It took me a while to rediscover and heal myself!

Pelvic Floor PT helped me regain core strength after childbirth, which significantly reduced my back pain and improved my Diastasis, allowing me to keep up with my energetic toddler. It was a game-changer!

As a part of this community, I want to share my personal experiences in overcoming these problems and create awareness about Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy during the prenatal and postpartum phases. Pelvic Floor Physical therapy can help you remain you while raising your family! This changed my life, and I want everyone to lead a happy mommy life!

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.
