About Dr. Sankar
Dedicated to personalized, holistic care.
I’m Nikita Sankar, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and ABPTS board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist with residency training. My private practice is designed to provide one- on-one care to people seeking a more holistic approach to healing pain and restoring balance.
My care is unrushed and highly individualized, with an emphasis on understanding the full picture. How your body moves, how stress impacts pain, and how daily habits influence your symptoms. I treat orthopedic pain, TMJ dysfunction, and vestibular issues with an approach that blends hands-on techniques, mindful movement, exercise and lifestyle education grounded in evidence-based practice. I also guide each person in finding individualized forms of exercise to rebuild confidence in movement, support healing, and reduce the risk of future injury.
My goal isn’t just to relieve symptoms , it’s to help you create lasting changes that help you understand your body, learn movement patterns that work for you, and be the strongest version of yourself.
