Dr. Dhruti Patel, PT, DPT is a licensed physical therapist with over a decade of experience specializing in geriatric rehabilitation, fall prevention, and healthy aging. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Shenandoah University and has since dedicated her career to empowering older adults through mobility, education, and holistic wellness.

Dr. Patel’s expertise spans home health, post-acute care, and community-based physical therapy, with a focus on evidence-based interventions that help seniors maintain independence and reduce their risk of falls. Her clinical philosophy blends science with compassion and recognizing that restoring strength is not just physical, but emotional and social as well.

This nonprofit project will focus on fall prevention education, caregiver training, and improving access to rehabilitation services in underserved elder care facilities.

As an Executive Contributor to Brainz Magazine, Dr. Patel shares practical strategies, professional insights, and thought leadership on topics including aging with dignity, movement as medicine, and the evolving global landscape of elder care. Her mission is to redefine aging that it is not as a stage of decline, but as a season of resilience, purpose, and possibility.
