You may be seeing a new face at Restorative, as we welcome our newest PT, Navneet Bhangra. She has years of experience, which has also led her to practice Physical Therapy all over the world. Aside from her bubbly personality, we are overjoyed with what she will bring to our clinic and patients.
Navneet received her Bachelors in Physiotherapy in 2009 from St. Georges Hospital Medical School in London, UK. Upon graduation, she began her career working as a Physical Therapist in the UK before moving and practicing in Dubai.
"Nav" specializes in sports related injuries, Dry Needling, Orthopedic Manual Therapy (OMT), soft tissue release, Cognitive Functional Therapy, pelvic floor therapy, post-operative orthopedics and chronic/acute pain.
Like our other therapists, she takes a holistic and evidence-based approach, as she believes this is integral for the patient’s recovery. She will be completing her certification for Dry Needling at the end of the year in order to practice it in Virginia.
Navneet is from a town called Reading, Berkshire in the UK. In 2018, she moved to Chesapeake, Virginia, after meeting her now husband, Kyle in Dubai. They have 2 huskies named Kane and Echo. She enjoys exercise, yoga, fishing, and cooking!
