Hello! I’m Hina Sheth, the owner and practitioner of Rebalance Physical Therapy. As a board-certified physical therapist, my specialization lies in orthopedics, particularly in spine and pelvic floor rehabilitation. I hold the title of orthopedic clinical specialist through the American Physical Therapy Association and am a manual certified therapist from the University of St. Augustine. My journey has been filled with learning, growth, and the profound privilege of helping others reclaim their health.
My academic journey began at the University of Florida, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1998. This broad foundation was instrumental in shaping my understanding of human health from multiple perspectives. After completing my undergraduate studies, I felt a strong urge to focus on physical therapy, leading me to the University of St. Augustine, where I earned my Master’s degree in Physical Therapy in 2000.
Soon after graduation, I moved to New York City, ready to immerse myself in the fast-paced world of healthcare. In NYC, I specialized in orthopedics and sports injuries, with a particular emphasis on spine and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The city’s vibrant energy fueled my passion for learning, and I quickly honed my clinical skills, gaining invaluable experience that would serve me well in the years to come.
In 2004, I took a leap of faith and relocated to Philadelphia, a city rich in medical expertise and educational opportunities. Here, I began training as a pelvic floor specialist at the University of Pennsylvania. This new focus opened my eyes to the complexities of pelvic health and its critical importance in overall well-being. I had the privilege of working closely with renowned physicians and mentoring junior staff, which deepened my commitment to education in the field.
Teaching physical therapy students at Arcadia University became another passion of mine. Sharing knowledge with aspiring therapists not only allows me to contribute to their professional journeys but also keeps me engaged with the latest advancements in our field. During this time, I developed an eclectic approach to treatment that integrates various manual techniques with principles from yoga and Pilates. I firmly believe in addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of healing, which has proven effective in helping my patients regain their strength and confidence.
Education is a cornerstone of my professional life. I frequently lecture at esteemed institutions such as Temple University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Thomas Jefferson Hospitals. My talks center on spinal dysfunction, pelvic pain, and the holistic model of treatment. I strive to increase awareness of these often-overlooked issues, which affect many individuals yet receive little attention in both medical and community settings.
In 2022, I was honored to deliver a TEDx talk, discussing the urgent need for increased awareness surrounding genital and pelvic pain. This condition affects a significant number of people but remains largely stigmatized and misunderstood. The talk, which you can watch on YouTube, resonated with many and highlighted the importance of open conversations about health challenges that so often go unspoken. I believe that by sharing these complex ideas in an accessible way, we can help destigmatize these topics and foster a more informed community.
My professional journey also includes significant contributions to research. In 2008, I participated in a pivotal NIH research study on Interstitial Cystitis and Physical Therapy treatment. This study was instrumental in placing pelvic floor therapy on the map as a legitimate intervention for pelvic pain. The findings not only advanced our understanding of these conditions but also provided hope to many individuals experiencing similar issues.
Additionally, I’ve co-authored chapters in several urogynecologic manuals focused on pelvic pain, aiming to enrich the body of knowledge in our field. I also serve as an exam writer for the American Physical Therapy Association’s women’s health exam. Each of these roles reflects my commitment to advancing physical therapy and improving patient care through education and research.
My mentorship experiences with world-renowned manual therapists, including Stanley Paris, Mark Laslett, Diane Lee, and Linda Joy Lee, have profoundly influenced my practice. Learning from the best has fueled my desire to continually refine my skills. I’m currently pursuing coursework in craniosacral therapy to further enhance my manual therapy techniques and expand the services I can offer to my patients.
I actively participate in several professional organizations, including the National Vulvodynia Association, the International Pelvic Pain Society, the American Physical Therapy Association, and the Interstitial Cystitis Network. These affiliations allow me to stay connected with the latest research and developments in pelvic health while advocating for increased awareness and support for individuals suffering from these conditions.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I cherish spending quality time with my husband, our three children, and our dog, Rooney. Family is my anchor, and I find immense joy in our shared moments. My ideal evenings often involve entertaining close friends, enjoying great food and wine, and creating lasting memories together.
Travel is another passion of mine. Exploring new cultures and landscapes inspires me and offers a fresh perspective on life. Each journey allows me to experience the world through a different lens, enriching my understanding of healing and connection. I also love skiing, which keeps me active during the winter months, and photography, a hobby that allows me to capture the beauty of everyday moments.
I often refer to myself as a self-help junkie. I believe in the power of personal growth and the importance of nurturing one’s mental and emotional well-being. Whether through books, workshops, or self-reflection, I’m always seeking ways to improve myself, both personally and professionally.
Looking back on my journey, I am filled with gratitude for the experiences that have shaped me into the practitioner I am today. Each patient I’ve treated, each lecture I’ve delivered, and each research study I’ve participated in has added a unique thread to the tapestry of my career. It’s a privilege to walk alongside my patients as they navigate their healing journeys.
As I look to the future, my aspirations are clear. I hope to expand Rebalance Physical Therapy, reaching more individuals in need of care and education. My dream is to create a space where people feel safe to discuss their challenges, empowered to seek help, and supported on their journey to healing.
I also aim to continue advocating for those whose voices often go unheard. I believe that we can create a more informed community that embraces holistic health and recognizes the importance of addressing both physical and emotional aspects of well-being.
In conclusion, my journey as a physical therapist has been one of passion, dedication, and continuous growth. I am committed to the power of movement and the strength of the human spirit. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to many more years of learning, teaching, and healing.
