Sonali Patel (She/Her)

PT, DPT, LPF-CT




Sonali aims to provide individualized, evidence-based care to help people comfortably navigate through their lives. She enjoys working with people of all ages to help them achieve their personal goals.

She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Columbia University, where she completed her advanced track in orthopedics. During her time at Columbia, Sonali began her continued education in pelvic health through the Herman and Wallace Institute. Since then, she has completed advanced courses in manual therapy, orthopedics & pelvic health through the Institute of Physical Art, Pelvic Global, McKenzie Institute and the Integrative Women’s Health Institute. She is a certified low pressure fitness instructor; this method addresses the core and pelvic floor muscles by targeting posture and breathing. To further support her patients, she has trained in and has received her mat-based Pilates teaching certification. She is also a co-author of a textbook by The International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease on Lichens Sclerosis.

Sonali developed a special appreciation for treating patients with pelvic health dysfunction as these conditions oftentimes disrupt the normalcy of their everyday functioning. She finds it extremely rewarding to be able to help people regain control over vital functions of life.

Outside of the clinic you can find Sonali exploring the outdoors. You may find her biking along the pier or jogging in the New York City parks. As much as she enjoys New York, Sonali also loves to travel to try new cuisines, explore new cities, and take on even more adventures.
