        General Info
        Dr. Gadkar believes that just treating 'The Pain' is not always the answer, treating the Cause of The Pain is far more effective. Each person is unique and requires a comprehensive kinematic analysis to discover what imbalances exist. Mix in a complex list of functional demands and stresses placed on their body with daily activity and a total body 'snapshot' of what is causing 'The Pain' is formed. Utilizing manual therapy treatments such as: (MET) Muscle-Energy Technique, Functional Movement Patterns and CoreFirst Strategies along with Patient Education and cutting-edge modalities including Super Pulse Laser Technology, Dr. Gadkar will find and treat The Cause of Painful Symptoms, not just the symptoms. Snehal Gadkar, PT, DPT graduated from New York Institute of Technology in 2004 earning a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. She has been practicing in the field of orthopedic physical therapy and is currently pursuing the Orthopedic Certified Specialist (OCS) board certification with the American Physical Therapy Association. She has been a member of the APTA since 2006 and continues to stay current through continuing education courses in Sports/Orthopedic Physical Therapy and Manual Therapy.

        Manual Therapy Muscle-Energy Technique (MET) a direct technique which uses the bodies' own subtle neuromuscular physiologic properties to restore symmetry and normal mobility to joints.Myofascial Release Technique, a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This essential time element has to do with the viscous flow and the piezoelectric phenomenon: a low load (gentle pressure) applied slowly will allow a viscoelastic medium (fascia) to elongate. Functional Movement Pattern Training, each individual develops movement patterns as they grow into adults, which inherently generate imbalances and limitations unique to each persons body. Fixing these imbalances will restore motion and relieve pain.CoreFirst Strategies/Back Education Training A Comprehensive analysis of the client's flexibility, coordination, strength, stability, and functional movement patterns. Clients are instructed in the five principles to enhance efficient posture, movement, and the automatic-not volitional-activation of the core stabilizers.

        Overall
        Dr. Gadkar not only treated me...

        Dr. Gadkar not only treated me for my lower back pain, but also showed me what the cause of it was and how to correct my posture, which was the cause. With better posture, and the core strengthening exercises she showed me, my lower back pain is less and less. Dr. Gadkar doesn't just treat the problem, she takes the time to look into the root of the problem and helps find a solution for that, instead of just treating for pain over and over. I would highly recommend Dr. Gadkar to anyone who needs a Physical Therapist.
