Today I am speaking with Reshma Rathod, co-founded of Restore Motion, a physical therapy practice in Rockville MD, in 2004. She has been Primary Health Care Provider for the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) since 2007, and is also a member of the Hologic WTA Women’s Health Task Force. She has a passion for women’s health and understands the profound need for a women-focused, compassionate physical therapy practice that could support the female leaders who make our communities prosper.

She is excited to share her passion, knowledge, and advocacy with a global audience and is determined to bring the topic of women’s health to life.
