WHO ARE THE TEAM AT
SHIRAJ PHYSIO AND PERFORMANCE?
Dr. Shiraj Chakraborty, DPT
Dr. Shiraj Chakraborty is a certified Athletic Trainer, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and Strength and Conditioning Coach, born and raised in Delaware. He moved to California to study at USC’s PT program, and has lived in Los Angeles for the past 10 years with his wife Joayn and two dogs, Brodie and Cali.
Shiraj is also a residency trained Sports Clinical Specialist, and has extensive training in Human Biomechanics. Dr. Chakraborty has spent his career mastering concepts related to optimizing care for athletes, active adults, and people who value the importance of movement, and how it relates to their quality of life.
He loves traveling the world with his wife, and together, they are on pace to go to every single national park in the country in the next two years.
An avid soccer player and fan, Shiraj still follows the sport today, and built on his passion and knowledge through his extensive work in professional soccer. Dr. Chakraborty provides his services to various sports organizations, such as Network PT/ATC to the United States Soccer Federation (USMNT and Youth Teams), and High Performance Consultant for the nationally recognized Beach Futbol Club of Southern California.
He first realized his dream of becoming a physical therapist after dealing with various injuries from playing high level soccer himself in both childhood and adulthood.
He ended up having two ACL injuries but was fortunate enough to receive rehab from amazing physical therapists who were able to get him back to 100%. They helped Shiraj realize that he wanted to become a PT and wanted to help people improve their quality of life overall.
After working in many settings, Dr. Chakraborty knew that he was a misfit in the profession. He had experienced firsthand the problems with our healthcare system and knew that he wanted to create something that would disrupt the status quo.
Shiraj Physio and Performance was founded in order to provide solutions for adults who value their health and independence in a way that Shiraj himself believes our current system lacks.
The mission was to create a practice that would place the client’s goals above all, which unfortunately our current health care setting does not do. Shiraj Physio and Performance can help athletes and active adults unlock their healing potential and learn to not only get back to their lives pain -free, but to learn how to thrive for years to come.
Our current medical systems rely on people’s fear of pain. It makes people seek fast, often ineffective solutions, and often leads people to hopelessness in the current health care system.
At Shiraj Physio and Performance, we have set out to show our clients that they do not have to live in fear of pain. With the right plan, by the right physical therapist, they can get back to everything that they love stronger than ever before.
