Meet the Founder
Jagruti Hambir
Pediatric PT and Craniosacral Fascial Therapist
Hello! My name is Jagruti Hambir, and I am a mother of two beautiful children and a wife to my husband for 15 years. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Physical Therapy from India in 2007 and Master’s in Health Sciences from University of Indianapolis in 2012.
​
I have been in the world of pediatrics since 2007. I have extensive experience in pediatric home health, pre-school, pediatric outpatient, and early intervention. Outside of pediatrics, I have also treated challenging patients in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, cardiac care and ICU, and orthopedic outpatient. Throughout my career, I have also mentored new grads and trained new hires to help them begin this beautiful journey of becoming a Pediatric Physical Therapist.
I am an expert in treating developmental delays, preemies, torticollis, toe-walkers, down syndrome, primitive reflex integration, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, neurological disorders, and many more. I specialize in torticollis, head shape issues, oral ties- tongue and lip ties, and believe in a gentler, holistic approach to treating these little ones.
My thirst for knowledge is never-ending. Being a neuro nerd, I constantly update my skill set by taking top-notch continuing education courses to help me better serve the pediatric community. My passion lies in understanding how the human brain works and how our body reacts to the information from our brain. It is amazing to learn how our bodies move and proceed through different stages of development. I believe that with my knowledge and experience your little ones will benefit and embark on a journey to become their own superheroes. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, enjoying new cuisines, and travelling.

Craniosacral Therapy: Jagruti is trained in CS1 through Upledger Institute. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

My Personal Commitment to Serving You - My story
As a pediatric physical therapist specializing in babies with oral ties, my dedication to this area of care is deeply personal. My passion for helping infants overcome oral ties stems from the challenges I faced with my own children, navigating the complexities and frustrations that arose due to a lack of medical awareness.
Like many parents, I found myself grappling with uncertainty and worry as my children struggled with feeding, sleeping, and breathing issues. It was a journey marked by frustration and confusion, compounded by the feeling of being misunderstood and unsupported by the medical community.
Through this experience, I gained a profound understanding of the impact that oral ties can have on both babies and parents. It's this empathy and firsthand knowledge that drive me to provide comprehensive oral ties bodywork, tailored to each baby's unique needs.
At Babies and Beyond Physical Therapy, I'm not just a pediatric physical therapist – I'm a fellow parent who understands the challenges you're facing. My goal is not only to alleviate discomfort and improve function but also to empower families with the knowledge and support they need to navigate this journey with confidence and peace of mind.
With my personal struggle serving as a driving force, I'm committed to ensuring that every baby receives the specialized care and attention they deserve, helping them thrive and reach their full potential.

Babies and Beyond Physical Therapy is out of network with all insurances. We believe every child has a right to be treated irrespective of their medical benefits. And as responsible parents, YOU make decisions for your child’s needs. This allows us to begin treatment for your child without waiting for authorizations and approvals as early as within the same week. For some diagnoses like Torticollis and Plagiocephaly, TIME is the KEY! We do not want insurance dictating your child's treatment needs and access to skilled care. We will provide you with an invoice upon request for you to submit for reimbursement. Out of state virtual services are not reimbursable. Payment is due in full at the time of service. Please check your out-of-network benefits with your insurance plan. If you are concerned about payments, please reach out to us about options.
