Hello, I am Khyati Merchant, founder of Lotus Physical Therapy and Pelvic Health. Health and yoga enthusiast, I started my professional carrier as a Physical Therapist in India. After coming to the States, I worked in long-term acute care for the couple of years before transitioning into an outpatient setting where I gained over 10 years of experience.

I am a strong proponent of continuous learning and committed to advancing my skills in order to deliver an exceptional level of care. I earned a doctorate in physical therapy, and I’m certified in work conditioning and trigger point dry needling. I’ve always been passionate about yoga, and I’m a certified yoga instructor.

After giving birth to my twins, I gained a new level of respect for pelvic health. I realized that understanding my pelvic region and availing the services of a pelvic floor specialist would have made a tremendous difference during the pregnancy and recovery thereafter. In 2019, I initiated a rigorous training and certification course in advance women’s health from Texas women’s university. It allowed me to better serve my patients by providing effective evidence-based treatment to meet and exceed their functional goals. I am also pregnancy and post partum corrective exercise specialist.

So far, it has been a wonderful journey filled with great learning experiences and patients’ success stories.
