The person behind the practice
Meet Dr. Richa Shah
Neuro Physiotherapist · Rehabilitation Consultant · Founder of PhysioRichCare — combining evidence-based clinical practice with genuine, individual attention in Pune.
Hello, I'm Richa
Care that moves you forward
I'm a neuro physiotherapist and rehabilitation consultant, and the founder of PhysioRichCare. I'm passionate about helping people improve their mobility, function, independence and overall quality of life through evidence-based physiotherapy and personalised rehabilitation.
I founded PhysioRichCare with a simple vision: compassionate, evidence-based physiotherapy that focuses on meaningful recovery and long-term wellness. For me, rehabilitation isn't only about recovering from an injury or condition — it's about restoring confidence, participation and quality of life. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual's goals, abilities and lifestyle.
I recently expanded my services to Pune, bringing the same patient-first approach to a wider community. Outside the clinic, I run, paint and take on hands-on DIY projects. I believe in practising what I preach — staying active keeps me grounded, creative, and connected to movement in my own life, and that energy is what I bring to motivating every patient.

My week
A continuum of care
Recovery doesn't happen only in a treatment room. My schedule is built so support follows you into real life.
- Morning OPD — in-clinic consultation and hands-on treatment sessions.
- Home & hospital visits — personalised rehabilitation for patients with limited mobility, or those unable to attend the clinic.
- Evening OPD — collaborative, integrated care alongside fellow healthcare professionals.
- Teleconsultation — online follow-ups, exercise prescription and progress reviews.
What guides me
My philosophy of care
- Patient-first — your goals, comfort and safety lead every decision.
- Evidence-based — grounded in current physiotherapy research and guidelines.
- Holistic — considering lifestyle, occupation, home environment and wellbeing.
- Authentic — drawing on my own active life to inspire and motivate you.
