Back to Function Physical Therapy and Wellness

"We are active seniors and have the need to see a good effective PT for persistent aches and pains, at times mysterious ones, that we cannot shake off. Purwa was recommended by our family doctor, and also a great fit because she is practicing manual physical therapy as well as being very seasoned and having her own practice. She is distictively the best PT we have ever had, and levels above the others: in putting efforts into investigating and correctly diagnose, good theories, good treatment approach and treatment techniques, teaching and educating, logically prescribing stretching and strengthening exercises plus ensuring we are doing them correctly. The key general benchmarks for high review scoring are: high effectiveness, correctness in treatment and diagnosis, plus having learned a basket of exercises to continue doing at home and also for self-help. We highly recommend Purwa anytime!"

"Purwa was my therapist after shoulder surgery and now she has helped me recover from bursitis in my hip. Her care and concern for my struggles with pain have been very comforting. I have enjoyed working with her and have recommended her to all of my friends."

"I have been working with Dr. Purwa Bhatt for just over 2 months now- working on my post-spinal fusion pain. Dr. Bhatt is amazing and very knowledgeable. I have a difficult case as the exact cause of my pain is not known for sure. It appears to be a constellation of problems as opposed to just one. Dr. Bhatt is very patient with me. Listen to my symptoms and modifies our care plan to adapt. I have been to other PT practices, but found the turnover great (rarely see the same therapist twice) and the attention you get is divided between 2 if not 3 patients at a time. Dr. Bhatt sees only one patient an hour so you get her total attention for a full hour. She is friendly and a pleasure to work with. I will continue seeing her and i certainly will see her if have another functional problem."

"I had a physicla therapy here for 2-3 months. Dr. Purwa is so kind and a wonderful PT. She made a very smooth therapy plan so that I could follow easily. Initially I felt some pains in shoulder and legs. But I could get recovered very much after 2-3 months' theraphy. Her therapy made my muscles strong. Thanks Dr. Purwa."

"If you are in pain go see Purwa! I have used her for my shoulder and hip over the last few months. I have worked with other practitioners in the past and none of them compare to Purwa! She is very well versed in human anatomy and is able to pinpoint the source of pain accurately and almost immediately. She has used many different techniques to help relieve the pain I have had. She has used acupuncture, manipulation, ultrasound and massage. She is a very caring person and has given me great exercises to use at home. In addition to her excellent treatment, getting to know her as a person has been a real plus! I have highly recommended her to friends and family for PT."

"I have had many physical therapists over the years and Purwa is the best! Incredible knowledge and really gets to know your issues and creates the perfect plan for your needs. She is kind and funny and always pushes you to do a little more each visit. Always on time and great with follow up and reminders of appointments. I have used her for several issues and will continue to do so in the future.."

"Dr. Purwa Bhatt is a great physical therapist! She was highly recommended to me by a friend and I feel very fortunate to have benefited from her expertise after a rotator cuff tear. Purwa is very capable, competent, knowledgeable and personable. I was a client during May and June 2025, two times per week. I was extremely satisfied with Purwa's help and her advice which resulted in the elimination of my arm pain, enabling me to golf 1-2 times per week this summer. I will definitely recommend Purwa to others and go back to her myself when I need PT in the future."

"I have Fibromyalgia, and am therefore continually trying to manage pain issues, and frequent injuries. Since I'm in PT a few times annually, I've come to recognize a good therapist from a great therapist, and Purwa Bhatt from Back to Function is a Great therapist. Purwa does a thorough assessment that goes beyond the basic questionnaires. She genuinely listens to a patient's concerns, which often goes beyond the basic questions and testing protocols. She is meticulous in her work, passionate in her approach and is always spot on with the appropriate exercises. Purwa has gone over and above what any of my other therapists have done, which has been a great asses for me personally. She thinks outside of the box, which I find a necessity with injuries and pain management, and is a testament to the years of experience Purwa has. I would definitely recommend Purwa, and I will be back myself. I hope she enjoys a long, successful business as I'd be hard pressed to find a better Physical Therapist."
