Your therapy timeline

When working with Fit For Life Physical Therapy, you will have in person appointments exclusively with Dr. Akhgar. During your initial evaluation she will get to know you, your health history, and your concerns. She will work collaboratively with you to create a treatment plan that includes exercises, general daily movements, manual therapy (sometimes known as body work), and determine a plan of care based on your specific needs to help you reach your goals.

Each subsequent visit will include a review of any exercises, addressing your questions and concerns, and a structured and tailored treatment based on your needs. From visit to visit Dr. Akhgar will continue to incorporate her expertise in active listening, and extensive knowledge of both vestibular and orthopedic conditions into a care plan that works for you.

While her goal is to help you reach therapy discharge having met your goals, her door is always open should you need to come back for another injury.

Changing the way Physical Therapy is done

Our healthcare system is often difficult to navigate, and as if it wasn’t already complicated enough, unfortunately many providers are overworked and inattentive. This complicated system may also make you feel like your needs are not being met, or that your provider is not truly listening to your concerns. Perhaps you’ve been treated as just another number?

My intention as your provider is to give you the one-one-one care we all deserve. When it comes to your health, no visit should be rushed, or have time split between a skilled clinician and an aid. Although your goals and situation may be similar to others, they are unique in their own way, and you should be treated as such. I aim to treat all my patients as individuals, not a body part. I will create programs specifically for you based on your presentation, rather than providing cookie-cutter treatment.

What patients are saying

  • ”I will forever be grateful for Asiya's knowledgeable, kind care during my long, challenging recovery from a low back, lumbar spine injury. I am an active, athletic person and losing my physical abilities to nerve pain and weakness was devastating to me. She taught me the physical and mental skills I needed to regain my strength and confidence, with progressions matching where I was in my healing journey. She routinely asked questions that encouraged me to put how I was feeling into words and listened without judgment or undue pressure. I am back to health and my relationship with my body has evolved thanks to her.”

    -Valmiki

  • “I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Asiya for a foot injury that resulted in issues in my hip and knee as well. She listened attentively and asked thoughtful questions to understand my injury and the limitations it posed to my lifestyle. Her physical exam was thorough, and she worked with me to come up with a treatment plan that I trusted. She was one of the most conscientious, smart, and skilled Physical Therapists I’ve seen, and I’d seek treatment from her again in a heartbeat!”

    -Lindsay

  • “Asiya is one of my favorite providers I have ever worked with. She can watch me move for a few moments and see so much about how my body works and what it needs. She adds that to her wealth of knowledge and her thoughtful, patient teaching style to help me learn how to take care of my body better. She even tailors her recommendations to my unique situation; she makes sure to ask what kind of equipment and space I have before assigning an exercise so that my program is approachable and accessible. I would recommend Dr. Akhgar to anyone”.

    -Kel

  • Asiya is one of the most competent, scrupulous and caring healthcare providers I've ever worked with. She skillfully educates in a way that has really changed the way I think about my body. My issues were complex and persistent but being in her care allowed me to trust the process and feel hopeful about recovery. I don't want to see any other physical therapist in the future- Asiya is a true gem! -Dani
