PERSONAL STORY
Vikash grew up between England and Portland, Maine, where sports and running were a constant. This love of sport also led him to many physical therapy clinics during his youth, where he found his passion for movement, anatomy, and the resiliency of the human body.
Vikash has been a runner for most of his life now and you can find him logging miles all over the streets of NYC. In addition to running he also enjoys reading, golfing, skateboarding, travelling and pretending to be an iron chef in the kitchen.
TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
He helps runners and athletes of NYC not only recover from their injury but understand how to train in a way that support long-term sustainable performance. His approach is built on a simple principle: education is the single most powerful intervention. He doesn’t just treat the injury; he looks at the whole picture of how you train, how you recover and how your body is adapting to solve the real problem. He also believes that rehab and training are the same; if you are not being challenged in your recovery you will not achieve the best results and have a longer road to recovery.

What’s it Like to Work with Vikash?
“As an avid tennis player with a number of past injuries (Achilles rupture, hip tears, etc), my goal is to continue playing for many more years. Vikash has treated me diligently with manual therapy to alleviate the pain, while teaching me a wide range of exercises to increase my mobility and strength. Vikash is dedicated, focused and caring. I highly recommend Perfect Stride”.
