Gaurav Kekatpure, PT, MS
Board-Certified in Orthopedic Physical Therapy
Diplomate, Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy
Gaurav received his undergraduate training in physical therapy in India, and completed the Master’s Degree in Orthopedic Physical Therapy from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut in 2006. After working extensively in outpatient orthopedic clinics across the US, he realized the vast limitations of the traditional model of musculoskeletal care that lacked reliability and standardization.
Ongoing feedback from patients regarding the growing out-of-pocket costs to consult various specialists that either prescribe more drugs, investigations, injections or invasive procedures was overwhelming. Many such patients would experience little or short-term relief, only to re-enter the system later with ongoing chronic pain requiring more attention along similar options of treatment.
Disappointed with conventional means, Gaurav turned towards the McKenzie Method® only to realize that rapid improvements were not a matter of chance but a norm with this approach. After years of extensive post-graduate training and residency in the method, he was awarded the prestigious Diploma in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (Dip. MDT) which certifies the highest level of competence in its application.
Gaurav belongs to an elite group of such McKenzie clinicians that are also board-certified in orthopedic physical therapy (OCS) as recognized by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties of the American Physical Therapy Association. Gaurav lives in Robbinsville with his wife and daughter.
