Restore Alignment. Improve Movement. Elevate Well-being.

What We Do

  • Integrated Therapy for Pain Relief, Recovery, and Lifelong Movement

    At AURA, we treat the whole system, not isolated symptoms. Every patient receives individualized care that may include one or more of our therapy disciplines, depending on needs and goals.

    Physical Therapy

    Our one-on-one physical therapy addresses pain, injury, and dysfunction through hands-on treatment, movement assessment, and corrective exercise. We specialize in complex and chronic cases, postural dysfunction, orthopedic and sports injuries, pelvic health, and prenatal/postpartum recovery.

    This is ideal for patients who:

    • Have pain or injury limiting daily life

    • Haven’t found lasting relief elsewhere

    • Need skilled, individualized rehabilitation

    Pilates Classes

    Our Pilates classes are designed for fitness, injury prevention, return to sport, and rehabilitation-informed movement. Classes are led by expert instructors who emphasize alignment, control, strength, and efficient movement.

    Pilates at AURA supports:

    • Building strength safely and intelligently

    • Preventing injury and recurring pain

    • Transitioning from physical therapy back to fitness or sport

    • Enhancing performance, stability, and body awareness

    These classes are ideal for individuals who want a thoughtful, form-focused approach to fitness—whether recovering from injury or simply moving well.

    Wellness

    Wellness Therapy at AURA is focused on relaxation, nervous system regulation, recovery, and overall health. These sessions are designed to support the body’s ability to heal, adapt, and manage stress.

    Wellness offerings may include:

    • Restorative and gentle movement

    • Breathwork and relaxation-based techniques

    • Nervous system downregulation and stress relief

    • Recovery-focused sessions that complement therapy and fitness

    This is ideal for patients who:

    • Feel chronically tense, fatigued, or overwhelmed

    • Experience stress-related or nervous-system-driven symptoms

    • Want to support overall health and resilience—not just treat pain

    How It Works Together

    Many patients move fluidly between Physical Therapy, Pilates Classes, and Wellness Therapy over time. As pain resolves and strength returns, care evolves—from rehabilitation, to fitness, to maintenance and prevention.

    Therapy at AURA adapts as you do.

  • Thoughtful Care. Intelligent Movement. Long-Term Results.

    Personalized, One-on-One Attention
    Your care is never rushed or delegated. Every session is tailored, intentional, and guided by a skilled practitioner.

    Root-Cause Approach
    We look at posture, breathing, strength, mobility, lifestyle, and stress patterns to understand why symptoms exist.

    Integration Over Isolation
    Physical therapy, Pilates, and wellness are not separate silos—they work best together. We design care that evolves with you.

    Clinical Excellence with Human Connection
    Advanced training matters—but so does listening, presence, and trust.

    Empowerment Through Education
    We teach you how to move, recover, and care for your body beyond the clinic.

    Quality Over Volume
    We choose depth, not speed. Your session is your time.

  • Our ideal patient values expert care, individualized attention, and long-term outcomes.

    You may be a great fit if you:

    • Want a treatment plan geared to your individual body

    • Appreciate a thoughtful blend of rehabilitation, movement, and wellness

    • Are seeking sustainable strength, not burnout or re-injury

    Many of our patients are:

    • Busy professionals and parents

    • Prenatal and postpartum individuals

    • People with chronic or recurring pain

    • Athletes and movement-aware individuals

    • Those transitioning from rehab to fitness safely

    If you’re looking for therapy that adapts as you heal and supports you long-term, AURA was built for you.

What People Are Saying…

“Dr. Alejandra Bhasin is very simply a skilled and almost magical healer. My back issues have evaded the efforts of an acupuncturist, physiatrist and two other physical therapists that I consulted in the last year. In just two visits, Dr. Bhasin has already made a difference. She combines her skills in physical therapy, massage therapy and pilates artfully to create and deliver a treatment plan tailored to address your needs. And, she is kind and a delight to spend time with.”

— Patient With Low Back Pain

“Starting from my late pregnancy, Jennifer has helped me relieve the pain on my lower back, hip and legs, due to carrying low and swelling. She also coached me on exercises tailored for me to get ready for the delivery. My delivery was easy and tear free! Postpartum: Taking care of newborn develops me new pains. The pelvic floor sessions with Jennifer starting from pregnancy paid off! PS: Each session with Jennifer is a joy! The room is lovely with soothing music. It’s not just physical therapy, it’s also mentally therapeutic for me!”

— Prenatal and Postpartum Patient

“A wonderful place to recover and get healthy! I started coming for physical therapy after I had surgery to fix a tear in my left shoulder. My right shoulder was looking like it needed surgery as well. I mainly worked with Marina Pozzi and she is an excellent physical therapist. From working with her, not only is my left should totally recovered my right shoulder will not need surgery and is almost completely pain free. I cannot recommend Aura Physical Therapy enough!”

— Shoulder Surgery Patient

“Brittany is a fantastic Pilates instructor! She is knowledgeable, patient, and really cares about proper form and safety. Our sessions are well-planned and provide just the right level of challenge to push me while supporting my desire to become stronger and better. Brittany has a great way of explaining movements and always provides modifications when needed. Since I began working with Brittany, I have seen real improvements in my strength and flexibility. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to try Pilates or find a great instructor!”
