Hina Sheth

Meet Hina!

Founder | Pelvic Floor + Orthopedic Physical Therapist

Hina Sheth is the founder of Rebalance Physical Therapy & Wellness and a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist with more than 25 years of experience in orthopedic, spine, and pelvic floor physical therapy. She specializes in treating complex pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, spine and sacroiliac joint conditions, and persistent orthopedic and musculoskeletal pain in women and men.

Hina is an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) through the American Physical Therapy Association and holds a Manual Therapy Certification (MTC) from the University of St. Augustine. Her unique combination of advanced orthopedic, manual therapy, spine, and pelvic health training allows her to evaluate the body as an interconnected system rather than treating symptoms or individual body parts in isolation.

Hina earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida in 1998 and her Master of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine in 2000. After graduation, she moved to New York City, where she pursued postgraduate training and specialized in orthopedic and sports physical therapy, with a particular emphasis on the spine and sacroiliac (SI) joint.

After relocating to Philadelphia in 2004, Hina expanded her orthopedic expertise by training in pelvic floor rehabilitation at the University of Pennsylvania. This combination of orthopedic and pelvic health training became the foundation of the whole-body approach she uses today.

Complex Pelvic Pain & Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy

Hina has extensive experience treating pelvic floor dysfunction and complex pelvic pain in both women and men. Her clinical interests include conditions such as vulvodynia, painful intercourse, bladder and pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, urinary and bowel dysfunction, pregnancy and postpartum conditions, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, and persistent pelvic pain.

Because pelvic symptoms frequently overlap with orthopedic and neurological issues, Hina evaluates how the pelvic floor, spine, sacroiliac joints, hips, abdominal wall, breathing mechanics, nervous system, fascia, posture, and movement patterns may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms. This integrated approach is particularly valuable for people with complex or persistent conditions who have not improved by treating one body part alone.

Orthopedic, Spine & Manual Physical Therapy

Hina’s orthopedic background remains an integral part of her practice. She treats spine and sacroiliac joint dysfunction, low back pain, hip and pelvic girdle pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and complex orthopedic conditions, with particular expertise in cases where orthopedic and pelvic floor dysfunction overlap.

She has trained with internationally recognized spine and sacroiliac joint clinicians and educators, including Stanley Paris, Mark Laslett, Diane Lee, and Linda-Joy Lee, and has continued to expand her manual therapy expertise throughout her career.

Hina is also highly skilled in dry needling and incorporates it when appropriate as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. She uses dry needling alongside advanced manual therapy, myofascial techniques, neuromuscular retraining, therapeutic exercise, and movement-based approaches influenced by Yoga and Pilates. She has also pursued advanced coursework in craniosacral therapy.

Rather than relying on a single technique, Hina draws from more than two decades of clinical experience to determine which combination of treatments is most appropriate for each individual.

Research, Teaching & Pelvic Health Advocacy

Hina’s involvement in pelvic health extends beyond clinical practice. In 2008, she participated in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research study examining physical therapy treatment for interstitial cystitis, contributing during an important period in the development and recognition of pelvic floor physical therapy for pelvic pain.

She has co-authored chapters in urogynecologic manuals on pelvic pain and has served as an exam writer for the American Physical Therapy Association’s women’s health certification.

Hina has also lectured to healthcare professionals and physical therapy students at institutions throughout the Philadelphia area, including the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Arcadia University, Hahnemann/Drexel, Lankenau, and Thomas Jefferson, on topics including pelvic pain, spinal dysfunction, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and whole-body approaches to physical therapy.

In 2022, Hina delivered a TEDx talk focused on increasing awareness of genital and pelvic pain and the need for greater recognition of these often underdiagnosed conditions. She has also appeared as a physical therapy and pelvic health expert on local Fox News.

Hina is an active member of the National Vulvodynia Association, International Pelvic Pain Society, American Physical Therapy Association, and Interstitial Cystitis Network and continues to collaborate with physicians and healthcare providers throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.

Why Hina Founded Rebalance

Hina founded Rebalance Physical Therapy & Wellness around the belief that complex problems require time, individualized attention, and a willingness to look beyond the location of a patient’s symptoms.

Her approach combines pelvic floor physical therapy, orthopedics, spine care, manual therapy, dry needling, and movement science to understand how different systems of the body influence one another. Her goal is not simply to decrease pain, but to help patients understand why their symptoms developed, address the factors contributing to them, and develop a clear path toward better function and long-term wellness.

Today, Hina provides individualized, one-on-one pelvic floor, pelvic pain, orthopedic, and spine physical therapy in Philadelphia and the Main Line, while leading the team at Rebalance Physical Therapy & Wellness.

Outside of the clinic, Hina enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, entertaining friends, traveling, skiing, photography, discovering great food, and continuing her own pursuit of personal growth.
