Jagruti Hambir

M.S. Pediatric PT | 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.

More About Jagruti

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 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.
