About Us

Personalized Physical Therapy in Fairfax, VA — Built Around You

At Orthocare Physical Therapy Center, we believe recovery shouldn’t feel rushed, generic, or impersonal. Every patient who walks through our Fairfax clinic works one-on-one with a licensed clinician for the entire session because real healing happens through real relationships.

We built Orthocare for individuals who refuse to slow down. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply working to stay strong and mobile as you age, our team is here to help you move better and live better, one visit at a time.

Our Story

Orthocare Physical Therapy Center was founded by Dr. Shruti Ambegaonkar as an ode to a profession she loves deeply. Dr. Ambegaonkar has always believed that physical therapy is about more than protocols and exercises — it’s about people. She started Orthocare to create a space where every patient feels truly heard and genuinely cared for, not just treated.

That vision is why we do things differently. It’s why every session is one-on-one with a licensed clinician, why every plan is built around your goals instead of a generic template, and why our team measures success not just in range of motion or pain scores, but in getting you back to the things you love — whether that’s playing with your grandkids, running your next race, or simply moving through your day without hesitation.

What hasn’t changed since day one is our commitment to whole-person care. We don’t just treat the diagnosis on your chart — we treat you.

What Makes Orthocare Different

One-on-One Care, Covered by Insurance Every session is a full session with your own licensed clinician — not shared time with an aide. We accept most major insurance plans, so you get the personalized attention of a boutique practice without the boutique price tag.

Whole-Person Care, Not Just a Diagnosis Your treatment plan is built around your goals, your body, and your life — not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Every voice is heard, every plan adapts as you progress, and every visit is measured against real, meaningful results.

Support That Goes Beyond Discharge Getting you out of pain is the start, not the finish line. Our integrated wellness and massage programs help active adults maintain their progress and stay moving long after formal physical therapy ends — under one roof, with the same trusted team.

Our Core Values: H.E.A.R.T.

Everything we do at Orthocare is guided by H.E.A.R.T. — the five values our team lives by
every single day:

• Holistic — We treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
• Empathetic— We listen, understand, and care deeply about every patient’s experience.
• Adaptable — We tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.
• Results-Driven — We pursue meaningful outcomes through evidence-based care.
• Trusted — We earn confidence through integrity, consistency, and professional excellence.

This isn’t a slogan on our wall — it’s how we show up for every patient, every visit.
